Reno/Tahoe Mechanics?

If you end up taking I-5 to I-80 before you turn east, this shop is just off I-80.

Ben took fine care of my cars (Ferrari, Porsche, and BMW) from 1992 until 2000 when I returned to Arizona.
He is exceptionally meticulous and was with Ferrari of Sacramento until they closed around 1989. He then opened up his own shop just outside Sacramento.

 

Don -
If you get as far as Reno ;--) Intrepid Motors/Bert Skidmore is your best bet. Reno is only 45 minutes from the Northshore....
He took good care of our GTC; looks after Rob Waltons vintage racers, etc.

However you go, you'll have fun on some great roads!

I'll second that -- call Intrepid in Reno

 

Sorry for the change in subject, but I thought Rob Walton's vintage cars were cared for here in Phoenix by Grand Touring Cars (Harley Cluxton's shop). That said, maybe Walton needs multiple shops to care for his fleet!

 

I have a couple of clients from the Klamath area that bring their cars to me In the SF area so I doubt there is anyone around there. That whole part of CA, OR, NV is kind of exotic no mans land.

To bad, there are some great roads around there.

 

Don,

The only shop in Reno that I would consider is Intrepid Motorcar Co. I have never had them work on my Ferraris, but several of my friends have used them. There is no other Ferrari shops or mechanics that I know of in Reno/Tahoe.

there was a Porsche Shop that was very good & worked on my Ferraris when I lived
at Tahoe

Sport Haus, just off of Virginia

 

Be on your best behavior around Susanville and west in CA

 

The road from Tahoe to Sacramento is fun, best to do it at low traffic but the Cops hide on on ramps & shoot you w radar from behind

I once made it from Tahoe to SF in 2hours 15 minutes in my Countach at Midnight I stopped 5 times for gas but averaged near 100 mph, saw 140 + a few times

 

Hi Don. Just bought a n 87TR and live in Klamath Falls. As Rifeldriver said, its a nomans land and absolutely no F car svc. I go to back and forth to Tahoe lots during the summer. The drive between here and Alturas is great. No traffic or trucks if traveled early Sunday AM. Breakfast at the Black Bear. On down toward Susanville is another great drive. All high desert and not much traffic. After you drop down off the hills and head west toward Susanville heads up for Standish...make a left on A-3 just before the gas station. This short cut saves 15 mi and keeps you out of Susanville traffic. Left at 395 and the rest of the drive is boring until you start up to Truckee. Have fun. ss

 

donv, the A roads around Susanville are good roads, scenic and less traffic/patrolled than 395/Susanville. Longer but more enjoyable IMO. Also found another possible Ferrari mechanic option, try Kim Messer at 775-825-2850. Spoke with him, very impressed.

 

That is the nicest place in this area. Great rooms golf and food. Lots of other motel places. Shilo Inn is also here. ss
