Corner Balance-Tampa -Sarasota FL

Hi all. I am just getting my SC sorted and would like to find a recommendation in the Sarasota or Tampa Fl area. New tires are on the way so now is the time. I did not find anything on search. Any recommendations are appreciated. BTW approximately how much does this cost?

No idea whom to recommend on FLA (I live in Michigan), but I recently had the following done to my car: ride hight set (including re-indexing of rear torsion bars), corner balancing, and 4 wheel alignment. It cost me $750.

Several years ago I had excellent service from the guys who really new special cars at Reeves Import Motorcars in Tampa. Yes they are a BMW shop but I have to figure they would know someone they could recommend for your 911. They did a tremendous job on my Alpina B9/635 where no one else even know what it was.

Thanks for the info on Reeves. I am hoping someone will have had a good experience with their own car, but will reach out to Reeves if I can not find anyone else.

I have taken my BMW for alignment to Vortex Motorsports on Hillsborough Ave. I asked about alignment and corner balance for the 911 and they said they do it. They had a couple 911s there when I brought my BMW in. I have 0 experience with any shops for the 911 as I have always done my own work. I also hear Chilly Performance on Anderson is a good shop also.
