I had my clutch just done and these guys were quick and reasonable. The dealer wanted $1700 and they did it $1200 including the main seal. Just ask for Angel and tell him Angelo sent ya. The shop is in Oviedo, FL just north of UCF.

anything in the Austin/San Antonio,Texas area?


would be cool if someone cool "summarize" all the posts and keep it updated on the first post, instead of having to wade through all the posts to find your specific area.

just an idea.

Careful with quoting prices. I'm 100% sure that your price did not include a new flywheel. I know what he is paying for the parts and he can eat the labor. IF you had needed a new flywheel, they are nearly $800 by themselves (and more and more of them are not reusable)

Just don't want people to expect one thing, and then learn different once he gets the car apart. He really has no way of telling you if it will need a flywheel or not until he gets it apart (if it doesn't show up broken on the test drive)

Dealer is pretty good but looking for a good independent as a backup.

P.A.T. is a complete rip-off. Stay-away - there customers are called PATsies

Daytona, Florida

I'm looking for an independent Boxster mechanic in the Daytona, Florida area. The Orlando dealer is good, however I don't have time to drive an hour each way, mid-week, for service.

I've been using these guys for over 5 years for VW, Audi, and Porsche, and they also handle Benz. Incredibly honest, fairly priced, and great guys to work with. Jeremy and Justin will take care of you for any watercooled Porsche needs, I guarantee it.

If you need an honest, competent, affordable independent who knows what he's doing you can't beat Ed Pimm. He raced CART, IRL, and even NASCAR and luckily he now owns his own shop in Plain City.
