Should be "If you need a licensed facility..." You only need a license facility for a safety. Licensed mechanics can work wherever they choose. A mobile (or several) mobile shops in the GTA would be a great idea. Is it doable? ...that's another thread.
Not sure where the licensed facility rumor came from. The trucking industry has all kinds of mobile mechs like First Call, RoadService, etc. so there is no validity to that assertion. A motorcycle mechanic could get a truck just like truck mechanics do and work out of it no problem. Also, I have to laugh at some of the guys here saying things like "He does it for his love of motorcycles". These guys have to earn a living and they will charge you accordingly. I would rather pay the money and get the job done right.
I suggest you go to a mechanic who specializes in your motorcycle brand. Don't go to someone who does everything. Being familiar with the brand is very important. I do all my own work on all my machines. I never use a mechanic for anything but certifications only because I can't legally do them. If you can't do it yourself, find a mechanic who does good work and pay him what he wants. If you try to go cheap you will be sorry.
