Default Any good mechanics in Orlando area?

I see that there are a few from Central Florida that post here, do you know of any decent repair shop other than Lexus of Orlando?

Hey actually I'm looking for a good body shop that does good work too. I have taken my car to a place in Clearwater a number of times and they do an awesome job. Its right off US19. They do just about everything for mostly imports and exotic cars. Once in a while they have a minivan or ford but the work is just perfect.

For a body shop, K & J Customs on Forsyth Rd (between Colonial and University). They do EXCELLENT work as long as its not an insurance claim. Pay cash and you get the best body work I've seen. Have an insurance company, and the insurance company forces them to get cheap.


Things like only using OEM parts (not aftermarket generic parts) for fit and paint.

Anyway-

Tell them the guy with all the RX-7's sent you- they will hook you up with a discount too.

For best quality body work in Orlando I don't think anyone can touch Samuels' in Sanford. They are somewhat hidden but do tons of high end stuff, I know they do the paint and body work for 100% of titan (including the race car), and occationally I have seen a ferrari or other high end there. It doesn't come cheap though.

BTW mods is there anyway I can change my name ? If someone could make the change to OneLove it would be greatly appricaite as I no longer work for titan so don't want to give a false sense of recognition.

Mechanical repair.

The body is in great shape, last year put $3800 in maintenance and repair at Lexus of Orlando, this is getting old real fast. The car overall is in very good shape mechanically, knock on wood, but when something goes I would like an alternative. Especially, when I was considering trading it for a 98 SC 400 and Lexus of Orlando only offered me 6300, and this is just after 90,000 mile service, leather is good, headlights clear no moisture, and all gauge lights work.
