State by State DeLorean Friendly Repair Shops?

[DMCFL Tony]

I think a lot of us here in the Southeast have the same dilemma. I am 600 miles from DMCFL, 700 from DPI, 750 from DMCMW, and 800 from DMCH. Seems like we're in a DMC dead zone in terms of major repair facilities. I don't know how the number of cars 'breaks down' across the country, but when you look at the US Regional Forums, SEDOC has the highest thread count. I think there is a case to be made for a DMCSE facility located somewhere in the North GA mountains, Dahlonega maybe?

Okay so here's a deal for SEDOC:

Any DeLorean from that area that plans on spending $5,000 or more at DMCFL will get free enclosed shipping into the shop. My shipping company is based in central Florida, you car will not be in transit more than 2 days. You can then drive it home once completed or pay to ship it back for approximately $500 so you can look at it as $250 each way if you like.

I will keep this deal open for 90 days to see how it goes, call to schedule.

I've been saying for a while that Atlanta (or Georgia as a whole) is the perfect location for a DMCSE. I would try and start it myself if I had the funds.

DMCFL was going to be named DMC Southeast originally buy was named Florida for various reasons.

It's not about someone willing to or having the money, there will not be another DMC franchise in the Southeast other than DMCFL, mainly because there is not enough work for two stores.

We can and will beat this option. Any owner on the east coast down to Georgia who plans on spending 3500.00 or more at DPI will have the option of free shipping to our facility. Our shipping company is in house and will pick up in 24 hours or less. Upon completion we will return the car to you enclosed for 800.00 or less (depending on fuel costs) or you can drive it home.

If multiple owners are interested we will do pick and drop options like we frequently do in Pittsburgh and NJ knocking the shipping costs down even further by keeping the trailer full both ways.

There was also Lawrence (Lomand ?) who moved his shop from MI to WI iirc. Haven't heard from him on here in a while. Anyone have any contact info?

He moved to Kentucky. Not Wisconsin.

Thanks Peter! I will be on my way out again soon! Dan wants help with a list of things and I need to assist an owner with a SPEC II engine we are completely here upon delivery.

Lawrence Lormand is awesome, I can vouch for him personally! (I'm formerly of Michigan myself, now I live in MO.) Johnson County Automotive of Merriam, KS did a terrific job on my engine and fuel system repair last year. They also replaced my alternator and relays for me after I drop shipped them various parts.

Anyone out here can offer a trusted mechanic in the Southeaster Michigan - Outside of Detroit - whom has worked on Delorean's and has passed the learning curve on these vehicles ? Lou
