Default Next Level Performance Satellite Shops In Tampa/Miami, Looking for Input

Hey All,

I had been kicking this around for a while and was wondering what y'all may think and wanted so input on this. I have gotten my fair share of folks from Tampa Bay area that come here. Not sure if it would be a full scale shop as we have here or just a small install and tuning shop. Also ventured on opening a shop in the Miami area also for the same reasons. Let me know what you think as well as any ideas or comments.

Thanks.

That is really great news. Many of us have have been hoping that you would open a shop in the Miami/Ft Lauderdale area. My car has needed tuning for months and I can't find a shop in this area I can trust. Many of us feel the same way and would welcome your shop in this area. My vote is for the Ft. Lauderdale area.

You might want to contact "16 Again" he is one of the organizers of the Corvette Challenge at Moroso. I am sure his input would be helpful to you.

I think the ft laud area would be great if you could do it.
We are hurtin for a good tuner here.

hope you decide to do it regardless of which of the two locations you choose. just dont choose further north.

Mike come on and spread the wealth the FL guys have performance places in every city. How about opening one in Charleston SC! You did great work on my car. What a team you and Kerry Jamison would make in Charleston performance!

I'd aim for Fort Lauderdale as well, as then you would get Miami and West Palm Beach Vettes. My drive between Boynton Beach to Fort Lauderdale, I see a TON of Vettes (5+ C5's per day). All of us in the area will LOVE to have you down here!!!

You've got to be kidding me.

Truthfully, we only have One shop in all of FL and that is Next Level Performance!!!!!!
And for many folks here its over a 3 hour drive to get there.

Keep up the good work Mike. I'll be talking to you soon about an intake swap.

I vote for Fort Lauderdale, that way you could cover three of South Florida's most populated counties; West Palm, Broward and Dade. There are literally thousands of Vette's down here, especially C-5's.

Here's another vote for the Ft. Lauderdale area. On second thought, this could be very dangerous - I was going to put in a new pool, but a 427 would be nice..... Seriously Mike, I think there are several Vette owners around here that would support your endeavor.

Why stay in Fla? You need a shop in GA. I think Savannah is a good place to start Mike I think it doesn't matter where your shop is your Service makes it worth the drive 7 hours round trip , but the ride back was more fun

Hi Mike,

Hope all is well.

When TEA moved from Bowling Green to Ohio, that left the home city of the Corvette with no tuners. We sure could use someone like you up in this area!!!!!!!!!!! Please consider it!!!!!

Otherwise, I will have to drive 700 mi. back to Orlando when I get ready for my heads.

Both area's you mentioned would be great. Since Tampa is only an hour or so away a satellite shop would probably be all that is needed for the things you mentioned. Miami/Ft Laud. is much more of a trip and a full service shop would make the most sense for that spot. IMO.

Tampa would be closest to me, but with all those Ft Lauderdale votes, I think Mike might already be scouting a location in that area.

I am just glad Mike is doing so good he has this option.


He even comes in the shop on Sunday nights so guys like me can pick up their cars.
