Stuck in TAMPA and need help with Porsche!!!!!

I'm in Tampa and my master cylinder for clutch is going out. I need to get it to a Porsche dealer ASAP! I could hardly drive it to the Mainsail on Eisenhower Blvd where it will stay until I can get it to a dealer. I won't have much time, maybe a week. Can somebody steer me to the right dealer???

TIA!

No, but he has a shop that works on Porsches. You have a 996 with a warranty?
If you are in Tampa, you can either go to Reeves in Tampa or Bert Smith in St.Petersburg.

They are the same IMO. If I had Porsche issues I would go to Bob even if it was under warranty (Unless it was a huge issue). If I HAD to go to a dealer, I would go a little further out and go to Suncoast in Sarasota as they are one of the best Porsche dealers for sales and service in the country IMO.

Wardhog, I am in Tampa and if you need a lift or something let me know. I will be out and about tomorrow afternoon in and all over Tampa. I actually have to go to Bert Smith Porsche too.

ViperBob's place is called Vortex Motorsports and I also HIGKY recomend him. But if you want or need your work covered under warranty I can suggest Bert Smith in St. Pete or Reeves in Tampa. I have bought Porsches from both dealerships but usually go to Bert Smith. Suncoast in Sarasota is really awesome as well.
