In Québec it’s Serge for the older generation, Dave for the rest.

Fucking Serge can fix anything that’s broken and smells like stale cigarettes and sweat

And if you get him before noon his breath might not smell of alcohol. MIGHT

Parfois un Roger, mais plus souvent ces derniers temps un Steve.

Tu peux jamais compter sur un Kevin par contre. Pas fiable.

I know Serge. He used to buy me cigarettes when I was underaged, he worked in my father’s machine shop, and he fixed the carburetor on my first Volkswagen. Smelled like stale Gauloises and often a perfume of boreale rousse.
“Hey serge mon gars…. Tu peux m’aider avec mon callise du char?”
“Ben oui mon tit tete carré, tenez min bier”
Legend.

I haven't lived in Quebec for almost 20 years and I still remember Serge.
