The Collection Coral gables

Need help from folks in Miami who use the collection in the gables.

I need a good service advisor, The one that I'm currently using is the same one that I had when I serviced my jaguar and lotus. which I was never pleased with the service. but I had no choice. Any recommendations?
Thanks

What kind of service are you looking to get done? If you're out of warranty or it's just routine service, we could do it here for you, if you don't mind the trip up to Pompano. We could also send one of our Champion tows to pick it up. If it's a warranty or dealer specific issue...give our dealer a try.

Let me know if I can help in any way.

Champion

I was about to say Champion in Pompano... Have had good dealings with them in the past, especially if you are not happy with the collection.

UPDATE:

Finally got in touch with Mike after a few phone tag episodes. well, he took care of me right away.. it must have been one of those days but i've dealt with him in the past (lotus/jag) and it wasn't that pleasant. Glad everything worked out

I bought my 2007 Porsche from another Key West person who got it from the Collection. Even though it is no longer under warranty, is there something I should do to make it known at the Collection that I'm the owner. I'll probably go there from time to time, like if I need to remove codes or something.

How much would it cost for a gundo hack on a 997.1 C4S?

No, but contact Porsche North America to transfer ownership info

Thanks again for the heads up, I downloaded the change of ownership form and am sending to Porsche of North America today.

Are there some scheduled maintenance that you would recommend be done by the dealer rather than either DIY or a local mechanic?
