What was that name of that dealership near the CT/Westchester border, but on the CT side? Dropping Manhattan Motors for a better service center.

If you are thinking about Valenti, they are no longer dealing with Lotus. Secor Volvo in New London is now handling Lotus repairs. Secor Volvo New London, Connecticut | Convertible & Luxury Cars in the Groton, Norwich Area

Good luck.

Are you in New York? Why not use RS motorsports?

New London is a bit far from Westchester it seems. RS Motorsports doesn't return phone calls.

He's horrible.

I've never used Waldir, what was your bad experience?


Try emailing RS. He did my recall, one man show so I could see him being bad about the phones.

Waldir replaced items on the car without asking me. The item he replaced failed a few months later, he refused to fix.

Do you have RS's e-mail address? If you need to PM it to me, that's cool.

For the record, I think that Waldir is great - he did all (many) things on my 2005 elise since I got it in 2009 and never an issue, including MP45 SC/maintenance, cf roof weather stripping and custom upholstery (outsourced), pulley, belt, nitrons, RTD brace, full suspension refresh, pro rad, resistor pack, fluid changes, caliper exchange and rebuild, harnesses/bar, race steering rack, mono balls, manly mounts, rotors/pads, wheel studs, steel brake lines, AFR and boost sensors and gauges, shift-i, flywheel and clutch, intake, stereo/amp/sub, etc, etc...great work, friendly, will take time at no charge to give good advice, picks up and drops off car, connections with people who do good work with paint, upholstery, alignment, dyno tunning, ecu reflash, tires/wheels, he worked on many local lotuses for years, quite a few prepped for track regularly...nothing but best things to say about him...my 2c

Sorry, cannot concur. What he and his son did to my Elise was a disaster. I wouldn't send my go-cart to him for an oil change.

BINGO. Former Head Tech at Huntingridge and knows more about these cars than ANYONE else I know. Don't say he's horrible without some pretty significant rationale! I also consider him a good friend at the track! Maybe you just don't know these cars at his level. Might help if instead of negativity we got some facts. Seems you don't do well with any service folks!!!

Hardly. He worked on a radiator issue for my Elise. Replaced it actually. Died 2 months later. Refused to fix it. Hard it towed, at my expense, to S & S in Princeton, NJ. Basically he messed it all up. Since he was the only one to work on the car, it was his fault. They even said the previous mechanic screwed it up bad.

He may be a good friend to you, but he's a horrible mechanic to many others. I've received several PMs to prove I am far from the only one. His level…. Please… What level? Ground floor?

Opinions vary.

Take the ferry to LI and go to Autosport Designs in Huntington. Top notch. Ask for Tommy.

I would be glad to provide details regarding my experiences with Waldir via PM.

Why not public, whether positive or negative?
