For all the years since the demise of the original DMC, the DeLorean community has needed more regional service centers. There are several regions of the country that have enough owners to support a full-time, dedicated service facility. The Southeastern United States is one of those regions. In response to this demand, Tony Ierardi is opening the first new, DeLorean-exclusive service center since 1988 next week in South Florida. Tony is a longtime DeLorean owner and enthusiast. His opening of DMC (Florida) and will provide DeLorean owners in the Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and the Carolinas with the ultimate in quality parts, service, restoration and sales. "We've been approached many times over the years by individuals and companies who want to become DeLorean parts sellers - usually Internet parts sellers - and our response has always been that the DeLorean hobby needs more service centers, not parts dealers," said Stephen Wynne, president of DeLorean Motor Company (Texas). "When Tony came to us last year wanting to open a DeLorean service center, we knew that we had a winning combination. There are large number of DeLorean's in the southeastern U.S., particularly in Florida, and we're quite pleased by the positive reactions from owners who have received advance notice of the opening," Wynne concluded. The owner of three DeLoreans, including a concours winner, a daily driver and the only known surviving prototype, Tony has had a long love affair with the DeLorean and the story behind it. "I bought my first DeLorean, which was still new and untitled at the original dealer in 1994, but first saw a DeLorean in 1981, when I was 13. The dream stuck in my head, and it's been a passion ever since," Tony said today. "We've put together a beautiful, brand-new facility for DeLorean owners to send or bring their cars, and have spent a great deal of time undergoing intensive training in the idiosyncrasies of the DeLorean with the crew in Houston. Whether it be routine service, body repair or a full-restoration, we're ready to take care of the DeLorean owners in the region," Tony said. Other regions are under consideration for expansion, as well. The North Central U.S., Pacific Northwest and/or Northern California are the most likely candidates for new DeLorean service facilities. As the world's largest source for new, new old stock, and reproduction DeLorean parts, it makes sense that DMC (Texas) is also the largest service and restoration facility as well. Based in suburban Houston, DMC (Texas) also sells remanufactured and pre-owned DeLoreans worldwide.
