Testimonial - Driven Exotics

I decided to remove the entire interior of my Diablo, all leather and carpet pieces.

I packed up all 70 pieces and drove them down to Steve at Driven Exotics in Gilroy, CA.

I met Steve at Concorso last year, he seemed like a helpful guy and there were plenty of people around saying positive things about him.

I can't say enough great things about Steve. First, the interior leather and carpet work is simply amazing, bordering on obsessive, and there are some complicated pieces in the Diablo. Second, Steve is just a great guy. I am a DIY'er and Steve's given me more helpful tips and guidance in my 4 trips to his shop than I could have learned on my own in a lifetime.

His shop is amazing. He had at least (at least) 15 Diablos, 4 Countachs, 2 LM002's, a 350 - all in various states of repair, from all over the US. His shop is like a candy/porno shop for Lamborghini enthusiasts.

I endorse Steve at Driven Exotics, you won't regret shipping your bull to him.

I just hope I can get everything back in.....

I've seen your LM002, very cool car, excellent color.

 

Your black/black LM002 was the reason I decided to have Steve do my interior. It was there when I was touring his shop, and was..well..perfectly done.

 

I have to recognize Steve @ Driven Exotics again.

He recently finished the interior of my Diablo, and I got it all installed. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is just perfect. From the little details like the exterior stitching of the oh-sh&t grab bar, to the weave on the backing on the Daytona perforations, to the door surround welting to the tiny little rubber plugs the separate the defrost vent slats to the perfectly matched foot guard material...and the list goes on.

Further, since I was doing the install myself, I literally must have sent Steve hundreds of emails, and he answered each one with patience, usually within 30 minutes regardless of the day of the week or time of day. During the course of the install, I would frequently get "hey, how is that piece going in" emails.

There is a full write up on the install over on the other Lamborghini board, attached are a few pictures of the final product.

199 days later, my Diablo is back on the road in time for Monterey. I take her down to pass smog, and while on the dyno, I lose the 1-6 bank. Tow her home, do some trouble shooting and the 1-6 coil pack is emitting weak spark. Earlier in the month, Steve had told me to upgrade them, as they are a common weak point. Needless to say I am a bit frustrated. At 9pm I send Steve an email, and he's back to me within 30 minutes telling me to swap coils, and report back. Sure enough, bad coil/power unit.

Steve checks in on my Saturday morning and I report the results. He tells me to meet him at his shop and he'll fix me up (knowing I am frustrated). He came in on a Saturday, packaged up not one, but two sets (very neatly, including heat sink goo), and waits for me while I drive 2 hours to Gilroy.

Steve not only runs an awesome shop, but he is a damn good guy too.

Thanks to Steve, I definitely would have been stitched without you.

My Diablo is back in the hands of Steve @ Driven Exotics for some R&R. I really enjoy working with Steve, great guy and master mechanic.
