    Hello everyone,

    Looking for a good, honest shop to tackle a repair on my 360. I live in Sarasota, FL so I know I'm likely going to have to have the car transported up to St. Pete or somewhere South of Sarasota.

    Have a serious oil leak going on, and from my reading, I'm guessing rear main seal. But it could also be an oil supply line (if I'm really lucky). Won't know until it gets looked at what the true issue is.

    Does anyone have any recommendations for a trustworthy shop that does solid work?

    TIA

    HI,
    I have European Exotic Center in Clearwater work on my 512TR and Gabe does an excellent job, he has over 30 years experience and over 25 years with Ferrari dealers. I highly recommend them.
    Ciao

    Most of the guys in Sarasota bring their cars to Tim Stanford in Ft. Lauderdale.

    Such are the way things are in Sarasota evidently.

    Thanks for the input everyone.

    Tim is always highly recommended. Not sure if he works on something as modern as a 2005, but I'll give him a call.

    F1 in Naples. Should really call them as well and certainly closer than Ft Lauderdale.

    I believe Tim Stanford only works on the older Ferraris but have been told he is the best at them.

    I drive over an hour to use them. There are closer shops.
    They are excellent.

    Tim Stanford recommended me to F1 since I live on the west side of the state, seems to hold them in high regard.

    When I went shopping around for a 360, I found the following shop which came recommended from the person selling the car: Home Page

    I decided not to get the car and never used them, but thought I would mention it since they are in Sarasota.
