Florida Mechanic ?

Need help on finding a good local SyTy mechanic. Just moved to Ft. Lauderdale and my 93 TY (#194) was joyrided and abused by the auto transport company. Any local mechanic recommendation would be appreciated, as I now have a few problems from the joyriding. Oh, and the TY is in showroom condition w/only 42k miles (owned it for 18 years).

Thanks!

Thanks Gary, I'll check them out. I also heard of a few others in Miami...Fynetune and S. Florida Performance + Monster Motorsports in Davie. Hoping to find one closer to me in FTL and spoke to the owner of Bob's Speed Products who has been drag racing for 40+ years.

Hey Steve. TNT Auto Transport was supposed to be one of the best, but the Typhoon and my modified Hemi were both joyrided and abused.

Chuck, all I can tell you is make sure the shop is experienced with SyTys. SS has about a 1/2 dozen they maintain and modify.

Agreed. It's hard enough to maintain a SyTy even with a good shop that knows them. That was the case 15+ years ago and even more true these days as most shops haven't seen one for a long time.

Update on a shop for SyTy's in the Fort Lauderdale area. Found a speed shop where 1 of the 2 owners has a 92 TY he has owned for 7 years. I found them to be quite helpful and knowledgeable + they have a great reputation for building custom vehicles (e.g., 7 second 1/4 milers). The shop is AC Carcraft @ 1040 W. Prospect Rd. in Oakland Park...954-229-0828.

Hope this helps someone in need.
