    Repair shops in Northern Virginia area

    Do any owners in the Northern Virginia area have a nearby repair shop they recommend? I used to go to Radcliffe Motors in Reisterstown MD, but since we've moved to VA I've been looking for one closer to us.

    I don't need anything major right now, mainly a tune-up and an opinion on my auto transmission (I suspect it isn't dropping back into 1st gear).

    Thanks!

    I've lived here for 12 years. I don't think you will find any shops that you will be pleased with. You will be far better off consulting with the local owners.

    I've known Christian for a long time, and witnessed his extremely thorough multi-year restoration of his DeLorean. You can 100% trust his advice with these cars.

    Thanks, Christian! Winchester is about an hour and 20 minutes away from me, not bad. Unfortunately I'm headed out of town this weekend and wouldn't be able to make the tech meeting, but how often do you all meet?

    We try and get together once a month. We meet at my buddy's house (Paul) who has a good size garage with a drive on lift. He lives in Stevenson, which is just outside Winchester. We also set up car shows and with our club we try to reach out to different area's for members who might be a bit of a distance for most. We make youtube videos under our club name and membership is free if you feel like joining. We are a family friendly club that enjoys the DeLorean and enjoys helping others with there's! Cost's nothing. You can contact Paul at [email protected] or me, Christian@TristateDeLorean .com. He is vin 3236 and im 11035. You could be puf on our emailling list to recieve info on get togethers and meetings.
