Gas station across street
 

There's a gas station across the street that you can use to refill the tank when you're returning a rental car.

Druxy's on site
 

There is a Druxy's (deli chain) in the FBO. The food isn't too bad, standard deli stuff like smoked meat sandwiches, bagels, and salads. Not gourmet, but it's better than Subway, and it's easy if you're stopping at Buttonville.

Car rental
 

Hertz rents out of Buttonville, and the rates are reasonable (make sure you use your COPA or AOPA discount if you have one). After hours is no problem -- I called earlier then arrived Sunday night long after the desk was closed, and my contract and keys were waiting for me at the FBO with no fuss. Renting a car is the only realistic way into Toronto from Buttonville, but it's easy since the airport is right beside the 404, which turns into the Don Valley Parkway and leads straight into downtown Toronto. Outside of rush hour, you can expect to be downtown in about 25 minutes. I still prefer City Centre (YTZ) for downtown, since it's in walking distance, but Buttonville is better for the 905 area code or anywhere else you might need to drive.

Fees
 

I stopped here for two nights on a return trip to Ottawa. The FBO is Million Air http://millionair.torontoairways.com/ located right by the control tower, so it's not hard to find taxiing. They marshalled me right in front of the terminal and chocked the plane, then later towed it to a spot and tied it down for me. I didn't need fuel (tanks were nearly full), there's no landing or ramp fee, so the only charge was CA $10/night for parking.
