They used to have a nice facility off 59 South, by Expo Motorcars, until they moved. I'm assuming that lease rate was insane there. Never heard anything bad about them. They would also sell cars from that location.
Up in Humble. https://motorwerksag.com/about-us/ I spoke to Travis after the last service I had done on the EVO at LoH in January. Super nice dude on the phone, sounds extremely knowledgeable. Kelly and his team at LoH are awesome, but have gotten too rich for me. Stephen told me the service coming up in 2025 will be $6k. The plan is to take a drive up and meet Travis and his team this month to make a decsion.
Curious why you aren't taking your exotic work to them....I'm just trying to keep a list of options available.
OK, thanks....their website lists both F & L as in their expertise so appreciate the views of an actual customer. Strangely, my biggest need is a well versed Ford GT specialist.
HS does a few ford gt's. Travis may have some familiarity wirth ferraris and Lambos, but it is the specific expertise of H/S
Not sure how you don't know about them, but Kevin and Mark at M2K Motorsports are THE best for Ford GT stuff. I haven't been to their new-ish shop in Katy since they moved from Fulshear since I've been doing basic maintenance myself recently. In case you were unaware, they have taken apart and rebuilt GT's a million times over for their Texas Mile record holder car. As for Travis and Motorwerks, I used to frequent them all the time when they were off 59. Travis is a solid dude and they do good work. I'm not sure I would say they're AMG specialists. They work on all Europeans. And they did a few oil changes and mounted tires on my FGT as well. Haris (H&S) is certainly a goto for Ferrari's and Lamborghini's. Before I sold it, I took my Diablo to him for any needed work. Downside is his shop is pretty packed and shall we say he's not 'fast'.
Travis did great work on my 911 Turbo back when they were off 59. I would recommend him for sure. Haris is the man in Houston for Ferrari and Lambo. I was there two weeks ago delivering him an F40 tool kit and he had 5 F40’s there if that tells you anything. He has so many cars it’s almost hard to maneuver through the shop. He did great work on my F430 but it did take a while. He has so much work and not enough guys so that slows things down I guess.
Do know about M2K and they did some work for me once. My impression from our interaction is they don't consider themselves "mechanics" but specialists in high speed car preparation for events. I asked them to do a more mundane repair and they said no. Now that was 3 years ago, so I probably should give them a call and see if they are more interested in normal repairs. So were you not happy with the Diablo or just want to go in another direction? I've had my Roadster for over 10 years now, still scratches the itch but I am considering moving it along (same with the Ford GT) for something newer before I retire.
That's very odd. They've been more than happy to do basic maintenance stuff on my GT. Sure it's not as fun as building a custom mile car, but it pays the bills. Curious, what was it they refused to do? Diablo was fun, great to look at. Owned it almost 4 years. Fortunately never had any major/catastrophic issues, but there was always something that needed to be fixed or addressed. I was just waiting for that next big thing to fail and/or have to pull the engine. Although they like to break out the vintage stuff when unveiling a new car, Lamborghini provides zero support for their heritage vehicles. Looming fear, cost of ownership, NLA parts just told me it was time to move on.
Update: My son-in-law and I drove up to Travis's store last week for a visit. Unfortunately, Travis wasn't there, but his staff did a great job answering our questions and a nice tour of the store. Travis sent over a proposal that included everything LoH is proposing. There is a $2k delta in favor of Travis. So, my question for the FC braintrust is why is all of this maintence required? My EVO is a 2020 model with just shy of 7k miles, 1400 miles since the service last year. Seems a bit ridiculous to think a modern day car would require this much service with so few miles: Oil and oil filter change Cabin filter Engine air filters Coolant flush Brake flush Spark plugs Drive belt I don't drive the car hard or track her. Usually take her out on Sunday mornings for about an hour. Greatly appreciate any thoughts/comments. Thank you!
I do an oil change every year regardless of miles to prevent condensation formation. I instruct the mechanic to take a look at all other fluids and take action only if needed…..this year I did need to flush and replace the brake fluid. Not sure I’d worry about the other stuff on a newer car.
this is likely to just be on the list for the 7k (or nearest mile) service. so to keep up the logbook and records correctly, they will just follow the guidelines provided.
I now see why all this is "necessary" https://events.indigoautogroup.com/houston-exotics-service-center-grand-opening/?utm_source=Mailchimp&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=December+Newsletter
