Default Good trans shop in Vancouver BC?

Seems the seals on my A999 have let go, and it was gonna need a rebuild to live behind the 360 in storage anyways... Anyone got a trans shop here in the Lower Mainland that they can recommend? Quality/honesty is my #1 concern, but $$ is a factor too, since I'm currently between jobs.. I got a quote from Victoria Transmission on New West of $950 installed with a new stock TC and a stage 1 shift kit. Haven't actually built the 360 up yet, but I'll be going with #302 heads and mild components for low-end torque and decent mileage. It's a daily-driver, and with the price of gas... I wish I could plan for more balls-to-the-walls power, but it's gotta get good mileage.
Thanks all

Thanks dwc43, but I'm on the north side of the 49th parallel eh? $950 CDN= about $750 USD. The other factor is that I'm not equipped to re&re the trans myself. I like the TCI goods, but with freight across the border, install, extra taxes.. it's gonne be too much $$$.

Sorry, forgot to look at the location. Yeah, that shipping would be outrageous.

Go see Larry at Nevco Transmissions, 7070 Curragh, Burnaby, 604-437-5566. He did my 999 for my 360/Mirada in June of 00 and I have no complaints at all. Shift kit, some cop-car upgrades, bolt-in overrunning clutch, all new consumables. Installed for under a grand but remember that was 5 years ago. (He used to do all the Burnaby R.C.M.P cop cars when they had Dips so he knows his Torqueflites) Cheers!
