finding a repair guy in Montreal

I'm moving to Montreal this week to go to McGill for my masters in Orchestral Performance. I need to get some work done on my horns and I was wondering if anyone had information on someone I could get in touch with to repair my horns.
I'm looking for someone really reliable, I've had some bad experiences before....

Once I went to a guy left my horns with him, came to pick them up and when I tested them I realized they weren't mine, it didn't feel right. So I told him that it didn't feel like my horn and insisted that it wasn't mine. He laughed at me and rolled his eyes saying "of course it doesn't I just did work on it so its going to feel different". I kept insisting it and he kept brushing me off and finally looked at the serial #'s. And... BINGO it was his own personal lower joint on MY clarinet. He followed that with "Wow, you must really know your horn to be able to feel that..." Of course I know my horn that well.. don't you??

ANYWAY, that aside.... money is not an issue. I just need a very good very reliable person I can take this to up there.
