So, I listened to my heart and shipped my Esprit to Portland instead of selling it. As soon as it was off the truck and I started it up, a belt broke (thank god not the timing belt). Any recommendations on a repair shop out here? Using Google I have found British Auto Works and "The Jag Shop". The Jag shop is closer but the guy owns a late model Ferrari, so I suspect its expensive. LOL The other one looks more my style but is farther out. Any recommendations? I live in SW Portland.
Thanks

I'd inquire to the folks at the Evergreen Lotus Car Club.

Being Seattle based, they may know of a good shop close to Portland, or be able to refer you to someone closer.

The closest authorized lotus dealer to you is just up the I5 in Bellevue,EDIT- ok, close but not the closest :facepalm I have had work done there in the past and had cars shipped there so I can pick them up and drive home.

Lotus shop?

The closest Lotus dealer to you is Lotus of Portland (Ron Tonkin). They are not cheap, but are competent.

You could also try ATD, which specializes in exotics.

Finally, contact Club Lotus Northwest, which is HQ in Beaverton (Club Lotus Northwest » Serving Southwest Washington and Oregon).

Good luck!

Thanks I left a post on that group.

I'd contact Eddie at AR Auto Service.
They are nice guys and enthusiasts and probably a lot more reasonable that Ron Tonkin.
