    I have been customers of both shops for at least 6-8 years. Hunt is excellent. He works on my six vintage cars and the daily drivers. Eric at F1 is also excellent and does Ferrari day in and day out and helped me find some factory cats for my 550 at a very good price. He went the extra mile on that one. So I took the 550 to him a lot, even though it was over an hour in an Uber to get back home. I owned a 550 until Dec 2017, so if you want me to take a look I might be able to be of some help.

    Eric's work at F1 Imports (Naples) is incredible.



    The PPI details he provided are phenomenal.

    Most shops that write a PPI provide a broad basic report.

    He told me the oil plug was wrong and wrote about aftermarket mufflers etc...

    The small details were all itemized line after line.

    Hello,


    I will be in Naples tomorrow (Friday), to physically inspect the car.

    The seller is moving out of his house this weekend and will not have storage space, for the car.




    1) Does anyone have a solution to store the car locally in Naples for two weeks - until the transport company arrives ?



    Any ideas ?

    vacant storage space in your garage ?


    Thanks
    Ralph

    One last point.


    (AFTER) everything was settled Eric had the car on the lift when I arrived and explained all items and concerns point-by-point from the inspection report.

    This was LATE Friday afternoon.

    Eric also asked me to email him with any concerns and or questions.

    The shop is aware I do not live in the Naples or Florida area.

    Excellent communication.

    Kudos to Eric and Heather and staff (F1 Imports).
