    any opinions on these guys. I'm considering using them for a PPI but the seller does business with them so I'm a little suspect

    Sorry... don't know anything about them. Your thinking is wise to take it to someone not doing business with the seller.

    You can flatbed the car to Ft Laud for very little money and have many choices here. What model and year car you looking at?

    they have a good rep and may be about it in this town. my car is there now. i agree with you that you don't like taking car to guy who regularly services it. a flat bed to sarasota or ft lauderdale are only other alternatives i think.

    Don't know about them but there is a nice exotic place in Fort Myers called Autoquest that can also do the PPI. If you are interested, talk to them you will find them pretty friendly. I looked a t a Panoz they had for sale a few months ago and they were very helpful and not pushy at all. (239) 432-1700. Ask for Gavin Riches.

    here is my suggestion. write to [email protected]
    Write to him, he is in Naples. He can do the PPI for you. He will do an honest inspection on the car.

    did you take my suggestion? I see from the other thread that you are still looking to have the PPI done.

    Eric is one of the owners. He does all my work on my cars. 550,456 etc. He is a good guy and very fair. He has a lot of experience because of Naples Motor sports keeps him busy. They have on average about two cars in their from NMS. They just changed their shop and name. Nice shop!

    They did the PPI on my 550...

    As gatorgreg noted, they're close with Naples Motorsports.

    Also... they've got an SD2 computer.
