I reached out to Speed Syndicate to see if they would install a set of coil-overs and then do a corner balance and alignment on my fully built WRX because I knew they were an amazing race shop. I didnt really know what to expect because I know they deal with a lot of really high end cars and race cars, but they got back to be asap and were super friendly and accommodating, so I booked the appointment. I am really glad I did too, because the job they did was amazing. Everything is perfect and my car feels like a completely different car now. I could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Speed Syndicate!!

Do not use these people. Unprofessional, sloppy, made my race car dangerous. Arrogant. There are better race shops

Pure artistry, Chris and the Crew at Speed Syndicate go above and beyond, repeatedly.There is only a small number of shops that actually have the passion and the knowledge to do this kind of artwork, this is the best one Ive found in the Tampa bay area.

Chris and his crew provided excellent advice & service for a car that I use for both track days and daily use. They have a race team so Chris and the guys are very, very knowledgeable about what I wanted done. They installed camber plates and provided a performance alignment which also included a baseline stock alignment.Chris also gladly provided his expertise on tire, racing brake fluid and pad selections.A great group to have service you cars for track and/or street use.Speed Syndicate has my highest recommendation!!

Great job setting up Sapphire - my Mazda3 ITA car. Ran Friday at Sebring and you found 2 (of the three seconds) I need on a set of old RE71s. Cant wait to try a set of Hoosiers at Daytona next month!

I met Chris Vallee, owner of Speed Syndicate, through my involvement with Autocross and track days here in the state of Florida. I returned to Florida in 2014 after living in Alaska for 18 years. While there in Alaska, I had bought a brand new Subaru WRX in 2002. It has been a labor of love every since. This car has had extensive modifications over its life. I had some very good success with Autocross, trackdays, rallycross and ice racing completion there, in Alaska winning multiple championships in multiple configurations.When I returned to the Florida area to compete in events, it became apparent that I would need some help resolving some issues in a much deeper field of competition. Chris always struck me as well spoken, passionate car guy with deep, extensive knowledge. His reputation and experience are unparalleled amongst some very fast company. After speaking with him over several weeks about my plans with the car, I arranged for him to take possession of the vehicle for work at his Pinellas Park location. Did I mention I live in Gainesville? He arranged to pick up my car after a Gainesville event.Chriss communication was excellent throughout the process. A completely custom built surge tank, methanol injection kit, chassis work, and exhaust modifications all took place in a timely manner. The results have been phenomenal. I could not be more pleased with the work and end result of the finished product.As the project neared completion, I was in a transportation bind to retrieve the car. Chris took it upon himself to deliver the car 2+ hours back north to me. While I cant promise the same service, I must commend him for his selfless customer service. This was truly over the top service and it deserves my sincere thanks. There are very few people I would trust with my investment. Chris Valle and Speed Syndicate are at the pinnacle of that list of trusted and highly skilled artists.See yall on the track.

Most of us post a review when you have either a great experience or an awful one. Im pleased to say I had an exceptional one with Speed Syndicate. Very professional, detailed and friendly. Corrine and Chris are exceptional in their customer service. Even in the middle of racing season. Kyle took care of my suspension mods and my car rides awesome. They took the time to talk to me about my needs, I received a detailed invoice and made recommendations based on our talk for performance gains. Their prices are fair (I got quotes from 3 different places in the Tampa Bay area and they beat them all) and this is coming from a true performance shop that have a winning team running in IMSA, not a “customization shop” that put stereos and alarms. I could not ask for better service as I always felt at peace leaving my car with them. In summary, if you are looking to modify your car for TRUE performance reasons, I cannot think of a better place in this area than Speed Syndicate and their staff. They do the right thing by you and your car every time. They have won another client for both regular or performance needs.

Speed Syn is friendly, professionally competent and honest - what more can you ask for in a service organization? They have the deep experience from years of race support and fabrication, and can do just about anything you ask for. Highly recommended.

Chris, Corrine and the guys are great!!! Always fast, honest and fair. I take my Honda Fit into them and now my mom is bringing her Honda Element to them as well. I have never had a problem with any work they have done. Its nice to finally have a mechanic I trust again:)

Speedy Syn is the best place around for your performance suspension needs. Chris and Jeff are two great guys that make sure you the customer are satisfied! Their attention to detail is impeccable and my coilovers after being aligned and corner balanced, with specs recommended by them, and the car has never felt so well balanced and corners great on the weekends. These guys are great and they go the extra mile, so do yourself a favor and take your car here

Chris and Corinne have a great crew of mechanics that do superb work and have very positive attitudes. I have been bringing my 1998 Boxster to them since I purchased the car in 2013. Chris is a GREAT fabricator, they do the old school string alignments, a very thorough group of professionals.

I recently had parts installed on my R35. Speed Syndicate provided me with the absolute best experience Ive had at a performance shop. The staff are very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I wont go to another shop. Contact them for all your performance / race car needs.

Fast, friendly service, and at a fair price. The shop director has even given me lifts when I needed to get around while my car was being worked on. After I drowned my car in a tropical storm (the air intake for SAAB is under the car...you know...where the flooding was...) I thought she would never be the same. But finally, my SAAB takes off like a jet again! And they fixed the A/C while they were in there, AND got rid of the hard idle that my previous mechanics (European car specialists) said was normal (they were very wrong). I would recommend this shop to anyone with a car, racing or street, for fixes, improvements, and regular maintenance.

Chris really knows what he is doing and takes his time to do it right the first time.However they have no idea how to run a business. After years of going to them and referring people they asked me to help out with one of their pro teams. 16 weeks later I have never been paid and they dont answer or return my messages. I came out of my own pocket to come work for them and after 6 or 7 times promising a check to come through it never did. I will never give them any business again. Never offered to make it right and Chris called cursing me out once I wasnt getting a response and posted here on their page. Because he wasnt paid by Henry Gilbert and fired from the LMP3 team he decided he couldnt afford to pay me.

Chris, Corinne, and everyone involved with Speed Syndicate are a great group of people who work hard and will go the extra mile to succeed in perfecting your car, racecar, or project car. I personally have gone to them many times over the years for my racecar build and have highly recommended them to anyone who loves their car and wants the work to be done right. You will not find a more honest, friendly, hardworking, highly skilled person than Chris Vallee. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
