European Service Centre of Leesburg, VA
There is a place in Leesburg, VA owned by a good guy and very long running Summit Point racer, Patrick.
For those of you who've lived in Leesburg for many years, Patrick worked in a little shop that most Ferrari/Lambo owners in the region took their cars to to get repaired during the 1980's. This is back way before the Ferrari of Washington dealership in Dulles, VA came to be. We typically reminisce about some of the cars I saw in his shop, particularly a 1971 P400 SV Miura. Red with gold trimmed Halibrands. He wanted to sell it to me, but I had a divorce going on at the time.....
He started his own shop in 1984. I have taken all of my European cars to him over the years including Mercedes E class, Jaguar XKR ragtop and currently my Lotus Elise.
Regarding my Lotus, he has diagnosed and corrected all of the known serious mechanical design issues with the car. From oil fittings, to relays, to soft cam and valve damage. In fact, I dropped a valve due to the latter last week and am taking my car there for him to replace the cylinder head.
By the way, I strongly suggest that you NEVER patronize Crizwell Lotus in Gaithersburg, MD which is a Lotus cert dealer. I had my car in there for over three months as part of am $9,000 insurance claim (someone hit me in a parking lot) to replace the front clam. After it was returned, I had to literally rebuild most of their work. They cracked a headlight assemblies, all bulbs loose and blinking on and off, 30% of the fasteners were missing (parts were flying off), the door was not aligned, the repaint has air holes in it and the Starshield looks like it was applied by my 14 year old - bubbles and wrinkles everywhere. The dealership made no reparations - very bad. Sorry - I'm off on a tangent....
ESC works on most European vehicles including BMW, Mercedes Benz, Audi, Volvo, Jaguar, Maserati, Ferrari, MG, Triumph, Alfa Romeo, Fiat and more. They are simply the best I know, period. I have steered many people his way. And he has retained them all for good reason. Tell Patrick that Rick Lowe recommended you.
