Default Miami/Ft Lauderdale Shops

I have searched and mainly J&W motorsport, Svoboda Motorsport, and Scott Finlay motorsport come up. Are these still favorable/recommended and are there any that I am missing? Looking mainly for routine maintenance and service.

Thank you

Danvers a strange guy, Finlay i used for when had my 993S. Great work but expensive. I think I got ripped off but I was a newbie. If I had to do it again with an Indy, I fo Gulf. Vinne is cool guy.

I would recommend Champion Motorsport.
What they've done for me NO SHOP in South Florida can even come close to match. For that matter, to date, NO shop in the country has accomplished.
The quality and in-house fabrication is unequaled.

William Svoboda is great,
Finlay is not, complete ripoff, labor as expensive as dealer (hourly rate & time spent), parts are priced at OEM MSRP but are aftermarket, and his advice will make you come back (advises against replacing IMS bearing, won't replace mounts when replacing the shocks, won't replace the AOS when replacing clutch, etc.)

I am surprised to see many shops advising against 'while in there' maintenance.

they really want you to come back again and again.. really not fair.

I was at the dealer (champion motors car dealer), and while had to drop the transmission under warranty, they literally had NOTHING to recommend as 'while you are in there' things to do.
