Need Help in West Palm Beach Florida

My son's 05 R53 is broken down in West Palm Beach, Florida with possibly a failed belt and tensioner or maybe even a separated harmonic balancer. Getting information by phone from a 22 year old that just knows that his car went into limp mode and he smells burning rubber under the hood doesn't equate into an accurate diagnosis. I'm looking for recommendations for an independent shop.

I dont know in WPB, but I can suggest Maitland Importers in Orlando.

Does he live in WPB?

In Miami there is one also Precision Auto Works.

Either way its 2 hours, there is someone I am sure, and I wish I could be of more help.

Thanks everyone. I talked with Ian at Maitland before I posted this to get his recommendations. We ended up with Cupelli in Lake Worth who so far has been great to deal with.
