Reapir Shops in general



It has been my experience that most of the mechanics that do GOOD work on
the D's (aside from the big 3) tend to be slightly out-of-the-way shops and
not any general specialists. My mechanic in North Carolina was out in the
middle of nowhere, and his shop was a homage to all things old and broken. .
.but he did fast, reliable and inexpensive work on my car. . .

The point? Avoid the foreign specialists, auto dealerships, and "common"
places. You are likely to find someone eventually that is competent with
DeLoreans and won't try to rip you off. . .

So look around first. If you can't find a good mechanic... wait
until you can, or you may face a lot of frustration. Before I bought my D,
I
asked Volvo owners who they used, and eventually selected two shops to try.
The first, a "foreign car" specialist, told me he had owned a D and liked
it. To replace the 4 brake hoses, (which I supplied,) and the under the car
coolant hoses, plus an oil change, (I supplied the filter,) took 3 days and
cost me just over $600. The next day, I noticed that the brakes were still
mushy. He had flushed it, but hadn't noticed that the master cylinder
looked
like a relic from the Titanic.
