Need Good Service - Hermosa Dealer Clueless on Older Turbo

I recently moved down from San Fran to Torrance. Big change. I went to the local Lotus dealer (I was surprised to find one close) to chat. The mechanic was a 50ish dude who was apparently pretty new to Lotus and didn't have much depth in the older models. He might be fine on new ones, but I like my sheet metal to have some vintage to it.

I can't see wasting my time paying to teach these dudes on my 84. Does anybody have a decent indy shop for an 84 Turbo? Thx.

I have alot of experiance with Harry and Viking motorsports. They are located in Costa Mesa. I recently blew up my 04 Esprit at V.I.R. and the car is currenty being shipped to them. He also has much knowledge & experiance with the other older models and 4 cilynder Esprits as well. I am sure you will be happy with Viking.

Hi,

We're in your neck of the woods (Manhattan Beach) with a '69 Elan. What kind of work do you need on your Esprit?

So Ca Lotus repair

Lotus by Claudius Cerritos. at junction of 605 and 91

Detlef (Father) and Son company.

If using Harry at Viking see if he can do the work and not the hired help who do not know what is going on.
