Hey guys, I need to get my viper in to a dealer for several issues, but cringe at the thought. Wondered if anyone knew of a good dealer in this area? Thanks

What are the issues? I know a viper tech in Seminole and I've had good luck with my dealer in Clearwater.

Thanks guys. Issues - 560 miles:
-brakes became super sensitive - more than previously - brake fluid present on the outside of brake reservoir in engine bay.
- rubber trim above passenger headlight dangling and needs to be re-adhered
-paint imperfections (requiring repaint) from the factory on the roof - bubbling, detailer would not wrap/coat it until corrected
-hood lines are not straight from hood to bumper, needs adjustment

Ugh..a lot more than I wanted to have wrong with a brand new car. The build quality on these cars is nothing short of hilarious - hand applied black silicone, welds that definitely do not look expertly done, etc. I love it still.

Way back in HS in the 90's on CHRISTMAS DAY, my Jeep was broken into at Firkins in Bradenton and the top and everything in it (Stereo etc) stolen. Dealer said they had adequate protection and weren't responsible because they have a FENCE. Can't say it it left a great taste in my mouth re that dealer, but it may be my best option.

Sorry to hear of your issues. Yes, build quality on these cars is hit or miss, I've had my share of issues as well. (I have an early build car). I see you have a 2017 - seems most of your issues may be "rushing to get it done before the plant closes". Hope you can get them correct, and let's see some pics!
