Default Tire shop that can handle slicks @ LRP?

Going to LRP tomorrow and realized that my local shop mounted one of my slicks the wrong direction.

Any shops nearby that can correct this without trashing the tire, rim, or tpms sensor ?

Not sure if it's an option, but maybe the guys at the Skippy shop at the track could be convinced to help you?

A number of shops depending on how close you are looking for. Here are some

Very close. A Miata shop but they probably have the right machine
https://www.drivehrd.com/

Autoworks a little farther away Primarily BMW but a full service race shop.
https://www.autoworksunlimited.net/

Full service Porsche race shops that are farther away from the track but you might be able to stop by on your way. Depends on why way you are coming.

Near Hartford if you are coming from the East
http://www.musantemotorsports.com/

Southbury CT East and South of the Track.
http://www.danieljacobsllc.com/

Danbury, CT South of the track just of 84 if you are coming from the West. i use them for my Cayman.
https://sstauto.com/

All these Porsche shops sponsor CVR events and especially our annual PCA Club Race (planned for next April again). Deman in NY, South Shore Performance on Long Island, and BodyMotion in NJ are other race sponsors but they are not close to Lime Rock.

Likely others around as well.

Good luck,

Mark

Thanks all for the recommendations. Autosport did a great job for me. Flipped the tire with utmost professionalism and zero drama.

Tom (the owner) who actually did the work literally did it minutes. The right machine (Hunter Tire Changer) helped of course.

A neighborhood repair shop that seems to focus on euro imports but they handled it a whole lot better than the "race shop" I went to originally.

Pricing was good also.

If you are ever in need of tire work @ LRP, please use these guys.

Right across from the Shell Station in Sharon CT.
