I'm in Tampa and my master cylinder for clutch is going out. I need to get it to a Porsche dealer ASAP! I could hardly drive it to the Mainsail on Eisenhower Blvd where it will stay until I can get it to a dealer. I won't have much time, maybe a week. Can somebody steer me to the right dealer???

TIA!

 

Call Viperbob
650-743-6801 Tell him I sent you.

 

Is he an authorized Porsche guy who deals with warranties?

 

No, but he has a shop that works on Porsches. You have a 996 with a warranty?
If you are in Tampa, you can either go to Reeves in Tampa or Bert Smith in St.Petersburg.

 

Who is better? ...and thanks for this info too

 

They are the same IMO. If I had Porsche issues I would go to Bob even if it was under warranty (Unless it was a huge issue). If I HAD to go to a dealer, I would go a little further out and go to Suncoast in Sarasota as they are one of the best Porsche dealers for sales and service in the country IMO.

 

BTW, service is not open at any of those dealers on Sundays, Bob might be at the shop.

 

Thanks but, I'll just wait until Monday

 

+1 with the recommendation (and Bob).

Wardhog, I am in Tampa and if you need a lift or something let me know. I will be out and about tomorrow afternoon in and all over Tampa. I actually have to go to Bert Smith Porsche too.

ViperBob's place is called Vortex Motorsports and I also HIGKY recomend him. But if you want or need your work covered under warranty I can suggest Bert Smith in St. Pete or Reeves in Tampa. I have bought Porsches from both dealerships but usually go to Bert Smith. Suncoast in Sarasota is really awesome as well.
