    So I just shipped my car from NJ to Lido Key Beach, Sarasota and I am curious to know who the "Go To" Independent shop is around here in case I have an issue or simply need an oil change - any recommendations?

    Thanks!

    Ditto on Todds request. Just got my 355 sent from Atlanta to my new home in North Port.

    David Feinberg’s Sarasota Italian Garage is by far the best shop in Sarasota. He knows his stuff like few others.
    I’ve been dealing with him for years.
    Seen quite a few 355s in his place.congratulations on the car.
    See you around.

    Actually the car is not new to me. I'm the second owner and bought from Rod Tonkin in Seattle back in 2004 when I lived in Atlanta. Towed it myself from Washington state. Been an Atlantan from 2000 till April this year. Before I moved to North Port, I left the car in good hands with Merlin for it's E.O.S. and with the good folks at MCS for coil over development. I have a garage full of mods waiting to install as well as a MaxJax due before the end of the month for the things that I'm capable of doing. It's good to have local talent for work on those things that would be over my pay grade. The pic of the car is at "Little Taladega" outside Birmingham AL during a track day.

    During normal times Sarasota is a fantastic car town with a very active Ferrari scene.

    Welcome to Sarasota guys. You have beautiful cars.

    I'm certainly looking forward to seeing David's shop. And Renn Haus has just moved in to their new facility near Fruitville and Lime downtown. It's a super place with varied cars, including Ferrari. ... And I'm always happy when I've taken cars there.

    So we are lucky enough to have a couple places to consider. And both are amply able to help us with our cars. Also, Renn Haus is associated with Scuderia Glickenhaus. Which I think is saying something.

    I'm so happy that we have these independents here.

    Two Thumbs up to Sarasota Italian Garage! New Fabspeed Cats, no more pesky check engine lights - here's a list of some of the work they did to my car:

    Check engine light, multiple fault codes.
    Both catalytic converters are no longer functional. We have hard failure codes on both sides.
    There are other faults, but we suspect are related to the cats not functioning correctly.

    With that said, the repair would entail:

    Two new converters-aftermarket
    Two new rear oxygen sensors
    Labor to replace above parts

    Convertible Top - converted to manual (THANK GOD!)
    ceramic coating
