Need a Mechanic recommendation for Suffolk County L.I., NY

Post by Mr.Boots »

Hi,
I live in Stony Brook out on Long Island in New York. My Allstar Mechanic for the last thirty years retired and is cruising the Caribbean on his sailboat. The guy he referred me to flaked and disappeared. I used someone last season who worked on my '83 Spider, but had such an attitude about working on a Fiat that I'd like to find someone else.

If someone has a name for me, I'd be deeply indebted. If you don't want to post it here, I can be contacted at mrboots@SPAMFREEoptonline.net (just remove SPAMFREE)
TIA,
Mike Boyle

Love the car! Bring it to Coldwater, and I'll help.

Sorry I cannot suggest anything closer.

Mike,

This may not be a cheap option but it may be fun just to visit.

They are located in Huntington, on Main Street, 1/2 mile or so east of town.

They do mostly Ferraris but I have seen a Fiat Spider in there once or twice.

Mike,
I live in Huntington, NY and I have seen Fiat Spiders in the place mentioned above.
I have been using an excellent mechanic but he is located in New Hyde Park, in Nassau County. The place in Nassau is called SM Motorsports. (516) 775-8626. I highly recommend them.
I will pass by the place in Huntington and check it out. I think there is also another sports car shop next door to that one mentioned above. I'll post more info after I visit - probably this weekend.
Regards,
Josh

Thanks gentlemen, I will check out these places.

Huntington is not that far, and I have friends in New Hyde Park, but i"d still appreciate any other leads.

This car is my garage queen; 16,000 original miles and the original paint job.

Best regards,
Mike
