Service for an Oklahoma 1990 Esprit Turbo

[okc-esprit]

Can anyone recommend a service location, dealer or otherwise, within 9 hours of Oklahoma City.
Thanks

9 hours, good grief!
we forget how big the world here is in little old england. you could get to the factory itself from anywhere in the UK in 9 hours! and 4 hours for about 80% of the population, i reckon.

i'm of no help, obviously, i just thought it was remarkable that 9 hours is within bounds to travel for a service. is that 9 hours at normal speed or at lotus speed?

might be cheaper to fly the mechanic to you???

Given the attention we attract, we try to keep it below 80mph. Since most of the population travels at that speed, we feel fairly safe. Lotus speed is generally reserved for the rubberneckers on the phone drifting into our lane.

The 9 hour range would get us to Houston, TX; however, I'm hoping for something closer. We had been going to a place in southern Missouri. Unfortunately, they either weren't interested in servicing the car or didn't know how. One service took three tries to get it right. The first time they said it was ready, I picked it up and immediately noticed the clutch was slipping. That meant leaving the car for another two weeks. So, it is time to find someone else.

What part of Oklahoma are you in?
Just off the top of my head Colorado or Utah might work. Dallas area too. All depends on where you are living in Oklahoma. I can at least steer you to a local club that will have more info also.

Thanks for the help. We live in the Oklahoma City area. Without violating the board's rules, let's say I would prefer to avoid the Dallas dealership.
