I have no experience with Orbit racing but I have used Foreign Affairs and so far have received excellent service! They're not crooks either (=pricing is ok)

I have also used Stahl Motorsports in West Palm Beach, they offer great and knowledgeable service. The only downside is that their pricing is very aggressive. That's why I don't use them too much.

Autohaus in Stuart is a place I can recommend as well. Their pricing is very attractive but the biggest turn down for me is the location. (it's about 50mins north from where I live and about 1:30hrs from where I work.)
They have done some work on my GT3 (alignment etc.) and I have been very pleased with them!

If you wanna go fast, I'd recommend Orbit since they have more experience in racing.

It pretty much depends on what you drive, where do you live and what you use your car for.

Fill in the blanks and we can give you more info......

Orbit Racing is great. They have very good service and alot of experience. The prices are better than your going to get at a Porsche dealership, and they have a nice shop. I have had them work on a few things for me, and each time they did a great job. This is an award winning raceteam, and you are leveraging their skills and years of mechanical experience, its great.

I have used Orbit, Foreign Affairs, Autohaus & German Performance.

Roger & his team at Orbit are great, his transmission knowledge is the best there is.

Foreign Affairs have done excellent work when I have used them.

I mostly use Bill, Andrew & Pat at Autohaus now and have no complaints. Willing to spend time with you and talk about the cars. They are also active in racing (how can you be a Porsche shop and not be!).

Mike at German Performance is a bit too far south for me now, but has done some satisfactory service work for me in the past. Also he is very close to Ian & Jamie at www.944online.com so it's convenient for those elusive parts. Seems he is into his LS-1 conversions now though.
