Can anyone provide me with feedback on Eibell Performance in Largo Florida

My buddy is looking to get a PPI done there. They seem like a good shop from over the phone. So we are really just looking for a sanity check.

I was based out of Key Largo for about 4 winters and never knew of a garage I would let loose on my Porsche!.
Unless they are 'underground'.
There was a garage who specialised in European cars on the US1 but I only had punctures repaired their- again not a good place for PPI.
I would rather go to one of the many Miami garages- I only used 2- Scott Finlay motorsports- expensive -not happy with end result
and
Vertex- who compete with Pelican - so cannot reccomend them either
Maybe someone else can help if you repost looking for garages in Miami?
Hope this helps

Hey Ben,

That's Largo Florida (St. Pete) not KEY Largo but thanks anyway for the heads up if I go down there sometime.

I have used Eibell for several years. Frank is a good guy and shoots straight- I would trust a PPI from them. They are easy to work with. Frank knows his porshe's. I have heard good things about Dave White in Tampa and Germantech in Largo, but I have not personally used them.

Both are good, but Eibel is slow, Frank is a great guy, and all things said above are very true, he knows Porsche. However he does not turn the wrenches and I have been disappointed at the quality of workmanship that comes out of the back. They forgot to put parts back on, didn't tighten things down etc. Again I like Frank but my last experience with them was not good. I have been using Dave White now for about 6 years, no problems.

Joe Germantech - absolute straight shooter... www.germantech.com Frank is a good guy too - but for a PPI I would take to Joe - much more detail orientated.

Dave white is good too - just be prepared to pay - and if you are using Dave white in Tampa, I would recommend a check list of what you want checked.
