[MODERATOR'S NOTE: Local regional DeLorean clubs are usually a great sourcefor information about experiences with local service centers. In your area, you might consider contacting Ken Montgomery of the Northern-California DeLorean Club. There are some links to clubs available on the DMCNews web site.] All, I'm in the market for a new De Lorean, and am evaluating a couple in my local area (SF Bay Area). I love these cars and have wanted to get one for years. However, if I get one now it is likely to be in very regular use -- at least every 2 days or so. To this end, I'm very concerned about a getting a car which doesn't have a large base of available mechanics to work on it :) So, a question I'm hoping someone here can help me with... where can I take a De Lorean to be repaired mechanically? Shipping it to the Houston DMC factory every time repairs are needed is obviously not a suitable option. If anyone knows any specifically De Lorean-certified dealers or mechanics in the greater San Francisco Bay Area (even Sacramento area if needed), I'd very much appreciate some names. Otherwise, what are other owners doing for mechanical work? Any help appreciated.
