Ottawa / Eastern Ontario Service Options
First post and new to the forum...
I'm likely making an offer on a DeLorean next week (been a life-long dream as most in this forum can relate to). I'm located in Ottawa, ON and wondered if any of the few D owners in my neck of the woods have a place they bring their cars to for servicing? I was thinking about Bruno's Performance on Merivale since they specialize in hot rods and classics, but not sure. I will try to do most of the small jobs myself that aren't too complicated. Being in Ottawa as opposed to the GTA makes servicing in Ohio or DMC Midwest a bit tougher.
Any suggestions?
Ottawa / Eastern Ontario Service Options
Congratulations on your purchase of 5875,
I'm in Ottawa(Nepean as I like to call it)and just down the street from Bruno's so I'm assuming you are close to me. When I imported my car to Canada in 1988 I brought it to Bruno's for the DOT and they were fine at that time. I'm sure things and staff have changed in 26 years but I haven't heard anything negative about them. I would recommend finding someone you feel comfortable with, I would try dealing with places that know Volvo's like Adria near Bank & Huntclub, Kirt at Young Street Garage( his rates are high but does great work) or Jamie at Import auto in Kemptville(he's honest and is a Bosch service Centre). If you need a hand I can help from time to time. If you don't have a service manual I would highly recommend getting one as this will help in repairs and sometimes trying to diagnose issues. I do all repairs on mine as I enjoy working on it and to be honest they are very easy to work on. There are a few of us in town, two or three in Manotick one near Huntclub and Bank Street another near Orleans and two Downtown that I know of.
If you need help or would like to meet give me a shout. My only other recommendation would be to fill up at Costco(unless you don't mind the celebrity status and picture taking LOL) and be prepared for the crazy Ottawa fans hanging out their windows to look at your Delorean! Hence the reason my wife will not go in the car anymore.
Enjoy your new toy,
Stephane
