Parker Performance holds itself in a high regard to be considered as one of the Tampa Bay's Best Mustang Performance Shops, and we're honored to have earned that reputation with years of providing great customer service and value to the local S550 Mustang Enthusiasts community.
With that, we've been included in a great list of amazing Tampa Bay Performance Shops, and some of which we have a great working relationship with, and have the honor of referring customers to with great success.
However, not all Mustang Shops are built the same. Not all shops are worthy of a referral. In fact, some shops, are just blatantly needing to be avoided. Without trying to shit on those guys specifically (yet), we felt like we should at least highlight the shops that we know, trust, believe in, and have confidence in referring our customers to!
If you're a Tampa Mustang owner, or hell, a Florida Mustang owner, you're freaking blessed with many options, and some really great shops, tuners, etc. here in the good ole Sunshine State. Without further ado, here's a great list of shops that we are proud to refer (and in no particular order):
StangZone / Extra Mile Auto Repair
11533 SR52
Hudson, FL 34669
P/ 727-856-1818
5.0 Stars out of 14 Google Reviews
Ramsey's Performance
Dennis Ramsey
17110 US Hwy 41 N
Lutz, FL 33549
P/ 813-909-2600
4.6 Stars out of 69 Google Reviews
We refer almost all of our SN95 & Foxbody work out to the guys at StangZone &/or Ramsey's. These guys are a great resource for our early Mustang customers. StangZone handles full auto body and collision repair, as well as full automotive mechanical repairs. Ramsey's handles in-house dyno tuning, performance mods, and more. We've had great success in referring our earlier model customers to both of these guys!
Jordan Performance and Racing
Justin Jordan
1503 7th Street SW, Suite A
Ruskin, FL 33570
P/ 813-419-4981
4.9 Stars out of 87 Google Reviews
If you're out on the East side of Tampa Bay, and looking for a one-stop-shop that offers in-house dyno and in-house tuning, Justin and the JPR Team are ready to help. We've been referring business to one another for several years, and buying parts from one another as needed during that time as well. Always great to have another high quality shop to refer stuff to.
Li Tuning & Racing
Sai Li
P/ 727-437-7005
We've used Sai Li for years, and as he's grown into more full-out racecar builds, he's been so busy with those that we've not been able to do much with him of late. However, he's always treated our customers fairly, been honest with them, honored his work, etc. We've done custom tunes, built motors, dyno tuning & more with the Li Tuning & Racing team.
While these are the companies that we most often find ourselves referring out, there's equally as many that we would strongly suggest you avoid at all costs. Companies like Mustang Speed & Restoration (MSR), with their feature on Better Call Behnken, their 2.5 stars on Yelp, and (21) 1-star reviews on Google. A very misleading 4.0 stars on Google as their overall rating, yet with our customers that have personally dealt with this company, we can assure you it's only worthy of its 1-star reviews. So it may be best to avoid them, and anyone else like them.
