Default Anyone have a top quality service shop in South Florida?

I'm tired of paying dealer prices for service. I'm in Boca Raton area. Thanks

I'm in Boca Raton as well. I think you should try Gulf Performance in Pompano Beach. If you private message me your telephone number, I will give you a call to explain why I think you should stay away from a number of the independent shops in Boca.

Svoboda Motorsports in Miami. William (the owner and Porsche certified technician) is very knowledgeable and extremely economical.

Driving to Miami from Boca Raton for service is really far though. I had to do the drive a number of times since I live in Boca and have family staying in Miami and the drive is really tedious.

Thanks guys for the recommendations. Does either Pedro or Gulf have a car rental service nearby that allows you to rent a car while your Pcar is being serviced? I see Gulf is in Pompano. Is Pedro in Weston? Thanks

Gulf Performance is great. Vinnie is the owner and a Porsche lover. If you go there say hi from Skip. Not sure if a close rental place.

TuneRS is in Coral Springs near an Enterprise. I haven't used them but have heard good things.

Vince is good and their is a Tri Rail nearby, I prefer $cott Finlay but he is very expensive even for the smallest job. I have not been to Gulf in several years but at one time he was my regular mechanic.

Default S florida shop

I recently aquired a 997.2. I live in St Lucie County and have been looking for a good mechanic as well for when the time comes. Seems like Above and Beyond Performance is the closest option for me to check out.

I just did my PDK service at TuneRS in Coral Spring and I'm very satisfied.

second this. Bryan is great and charges reasonable prices. He even picked my car up at the office and dropped it back to me

I use Kevin at KMW in Boca. He mainly builds race cars, but does 'small' stuff too.
