[DML] Re: North Carolina Service Center

["Louie" <louie@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with you wholeheartedly Oliver on the need for more regional 
service providers. Jeff is good friends with John Hervey and speaks 
with him pretty often, but I don't think he's in close contact with 
any of the other big names in the community. Jeff hopes to make John 
Hervey his main supplier if his shop comes into fruition, and 
naturally anything John doesn't carry Jeff will outsource from the 
larger vendors. 

Jeff will also likely come up with many solutions on his own. For 
instance, he's having a batch of headers fabricated for the DeLorean 
as we speak. Jeff lives in Concord, NC... where many NASCAR and 
various other racing teams are headquartered. There are countless 
fabricators and race suppliers in Concord who between all of them 
can make about anything for the DeLorean (Jeff has been in contact 
with many of these shops with his ideas). 

In fact Jeff is working on a very big performance project which he 
hopes to be able to unveil in Pheasant Run. He has shops that are 
willing to get into turbo charging and fabricate components for 
engine swapping as well. Again, Jeff's intention is to provide a 
small, regional service center for our cars that offers services 
currently unavailable to our community. He strongly feels he will 
not draw business from the larger vendors, but will instead bring 
them more money by ordering parts from them. I know for many owners 
in this area that the $1k+ roundtrip shipping to get our cars to one 
of the major service providers is a big factor in not sending our 
cars to them. I could use that $1k on more parts from the vendors if 
I could get my car serviced here... so in the end everyone would 
win. I'll keep the list posted on any new progress with this venture.

Naturally, I'm all for another GOOD service center, just as DMCH 
themselves  has been preaching for some time. It seems we gots the 
parts, but few qualified service places that know how to treat a 
DeLorean. Although testing the waters and doing a DML discussion is 
nice, I would be interested to know if Jeff has established some 
good lines of communication with James, Rob, Don, Dave, etc. I would 
think a healthy cooperative alliance with the long established 
DeLorean service experts would be highly desirable, if not critical.

When the other garages are really backed up, or a helluva long 
distance away, (particularly in the dead of Winter's snow storms), 
it sure would be nice to have a Carolina 'tweener' to fill in the 
gap.
