Re: DeLorean Repair Shops (was sad DeLorean)

[jtrealty@xxxx]

There are many shops across the country that could work on a Delorean. 
All of the venders will work with a local shop and talk a mechanic 
through procedures. Some even have some experience or worked for 
Delorean dealers and were trained on Deloreans.
If you want a "refurbished" Delorean though your choices are limited. 
In that case you only have basically four places to go that have the 
parts and expertise to be able to claim "refurbished". Two are in 
California, one in Texas, and one in New York. There is no standard 
for "refurbishing" or "rebuilding" a car, any car, including 
Deloreans. Every shop does different things. To compare you must be 
knowledgeable about cars so you can compare "aples with apples". I 
would think one of the most important things would be the warranty. 
This gives a measure of the vendor's confidence in their work. 
Reputation is also very important. Be patient and shop around. Prices 
aren't going up on "refurbished" anytime soon and in light of the 
economy maybe they will even drop.
