We all know Dent Werks in Los Angeles for their body shop and dent removal, but did you know they now can do mechanical and tuning work on cars including Lotus.
Just about anyone can work on a modern Lotus
anic: but working on an older temperamental european car takes more than just training. And my 1995 Ford Escort RS Cosworth is as temperamental as they get, but the guys at Mulholland Motorsports (Dent Werk's mechanical, fabrication and tuning side) got my oddball car all sorted when most mechanics won't even touch it.
I met Mulholland Motorsports owner Julio at the Motor4Toys event back in December and he said he had just hired Stephan Schwartz from the ol' Lotus shop in Beverly Hills, who could work on just about anything. Stephan had worked on my Exige and my Elise prior to that, and i always found him to be very thorough, professional and enthusiastic about his work.
My Cosworth had all sorts of issues, ranging from a busted water pump to electrical glitches and Stephan was able to diagnose and replace/repair all the problems. He honestly told me what i needed and what i could live without. He gave me options on how to address issues, based on how much time and how much money i wanted to spend.
Both Stephan and Julio are auto enthusiasts and talk, teach and learn about the product they work on and take the time to honestly listen to the customer and what's important to us.
And most of all, they act on their word. They had the car done on time as promised and had it washed and ready to go before i picked it up. One less thing i had to worry about in my busy schedule.
If Mulholland Motorsports can get my wacky Cosworth back on the road, you know I'd trust them with something as everyday as my Exige. rotfl Based on my experience, I recommend them for all sorts of work.
