J Harris-

Are you Hayes Harris from wirewheel.com?

LSUFAN · 05-04-2007, 03:42 AM

Any updates??

xxxotic · 05-23-2007, 03:58 AM

Any news? Is this still going to happen?

I heard that the existing dealer in WPB was selling the building to developers, but the deal fell through so they will be staying open.

Is this what is causing the problem?

LSUFAN · 05-29-2007, 09:40 AM

I don't think we'll ever get the answer....

Tonywa28 · 05-29-2007, 05:31 PM

FWIW - I can tell you several horror stories about my experiences with Dimmitt. Wheel left loose, tools left in engine compartment, air filter box left open. I gave up on them after all the problems. Just maintaining it myself at this point....

So Jay,

For those of us an hour and a half south of Dimmitt and are new owners, where does this leave us? Any suggestions for maintenance as I've heard and read nothing good since you and a few others have left? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Seems like PBMC only has one Lotus tech on there staff according to another post that was made.

Please call me with any questions at 727 647 1269 or at the dealership which is Fort lauderdale collection 954 788 9600 just ask for Jason.

When you become franchised what will be the hourly rate for service work on Lotus

Jayheazy · 07-20-2007, 05:11 AM

not sure yet, Lotus will have some say it that. Right now it is 100 per hr. Any customers that I have before we become franchised will be grandfathered in.
