Guys,

I just relocated to Orlando area (Windermere). Can anyone recommend an excellent service shop-- either dealer or independant? My car is heavily modified, so need an expert. Thanks

I cant really recommend anywhere as Porsche of North Orlando has done any work I haven't been able to do but welcome to the area

I'm a neighbor of yours in Windermere, so welcome! I use Zotz Garage (call Don -Owner) at 407-678-6789.
Great independant shop w/Porsche expertise and fair prices. (no affiliation, just like the guys!)
See ya around the forum!

You guys run into Tiger down there??

Maybe one of them IS Tiger...

Thanks guys.

AJ, I wll look into Zotz because I'd love to find a good independant shop. Dealers usually suck for modded cars like mine. What's up with the town of Windermere-- notihng there??? We've been heading to Sand Lake and Fowler's Grove for retaurants, etc. Is that about right?

Red911, I'm not Tiger. But AJ clearly is.

Sand Lake road and the Winter Garden Village are your two best options for restaurants/nightlife close by. Windermere is EXTREMELY devoid in that area. Keep an eye on your speed in Windermere, and by an eye, I mean NO HIGHER THAN POSTED. They will pull you over for anything over just to keep the non residents out!

I wont go near that town anymore because of all the speed traps.

I also recommend zotz, he works on lots of track cars

I am also in Windermere!!! We have enough people here to do our own car meet in downtown Windermere. I recomend Zotz also. There is also another independent shop call Red Dog (?). I have never used them, but I hear they are good and they are closer to us. If you guys see a black cab TT say hi .

Will do Flpaindoc!
Never heard of Red Dog, I'll do some research...

Redbone, not Red Dog in west orlando.

VERY experienced shop. Owner, Robin knows any Porsche inside and out. Very casual laid back guys and heavy into prepping track cars for Rolex, Sebring, etc.

Robin actually used to work with Alex Job back in the day; of Alex Job racing.

Zotz is great also, east orlando, owned by Ron Zotz (pronounced Zitza) and he still drives in Rolex, Road Atlanta, etc. but usually a RX-7/8.

I was close!!, just to clarify, there are 2 Zotz. Zotz garage is own by Don, Zotz racing is a different shop in Orlando. I hear great things about them too. They were the original owners of Zotz garage. So when is the Windermere car meet?

If you guys will let a poor Altamonte Springs guy in your town I am in as long as one of you runs interference for those idiot speed trap cops there

flpaindoc

Sure, we will make sure they let you in. Lol...
