    Just got my car back from Steve at Arena Motors. I had my cats replaced ( inevitable right?). He and Melissa were great to work with and delivered the car to my house which was very convenient in this weather. I have to say he came up with a great idea to custom make me a set of new cats and to save a bit of coin. I highly recommend Steve and will definitely be a returning customer. Thanks again Steve and Melissa.

    My mondial is in pieces there now, for major plus some. Some of it is 24yo original parts (bushings, hoses, etc) that have more than done their time. Steve walked me through everything including those that can wait until later.

    It will still be a few weeks, but can't wait to get her back, It will be like a new car. Now let's hope that rat in the ground ( groundhog ) is right so the snow stops coming when it's time to get the car back.

    I saw your Mondial on the lift yesterday. They were working on your car, a yellow 360 and a black Diablo when I was at the shop. Steve and Melissa are great people who are always willing to go above and beyond for their customers!

    He had my F355 for almost 3 months. He did a front end respray, clear bra, new headers, and a bunch of other small stuff for me. When I got her back a few weeks ago, I couldnt believe it. It looks and runs better now then it did when it came off the showroom floor!

    Another endorsement for Arena here. I've had my Gallardo serviced there. Steve and Melissa are always great to deal with. Steve really takes the time to show you everything that he's done. He'll point out any potential issues when the car is up on the lift etc. Integrity and value are big with me; I found them at Arena... :)

    I briefly spoke with Steve when I was setting up a PPI (that I never followed through with), but he was prompt with his replies and easy to deal with - a very personable guy.

    My Mondial has been spending a fair amount of quality time with Steve this winter. Think of all the rubber parts that move fluild, or are in the suspension, that in my car are 25 y/o, being replaced + a major and new exhaust and you get the picture.

    Steve did a real nice job, especially in stripping down many of the suspension parts and getting them powdercoated; if your suspension is already apart you might want to look into that.

    I was down a week ago to check on progress and asked Steve about the Maser as I always admire them and thought it would be a nice pairing as a daily driver.

    Lambo on the other side of me getting a big brake kit was amazing too, never mind the Dino that is with him for service as well.

    Hopefully we are all back on the road soon.

    Picked up my car this morning. Steve did a great job doing all I asked including replacing the rubber paddles with metal ones I provided. Things added up quicker then I thought, but thats life with these cars I suppose :)

    I saw a 355, a 360, a California that a is for rent by a company Steve shares space with and a few Lambo's as well.

    I chatted with Steve about trading my car for a 575, and he was all for it saying the 575 is a solid car that does not require too much maintenance. Will see if I can find a decent 575 in the area.

    Steve also said that he will be moving later this year to a much larger facility in the Ironbound seciton of Newark which will feature a museum area, a cigar bar etc. I spoke to him about arranging a monthly get together, and he was all for it! So hopefully this will happen sooner than later. With the Cars and Croissants, we might have a car thing going on every weekend in Jersey!
