    hey guys, i searched the archives and saw the mostly positive comments on this shop related to ferrari's. however i am hoping to purchase a Lamborghini this week(today??) and the owner has stated with reciepts that the engine was rebuilt by this shop. any thoughts or opinions? its a red 1985 Jalpa, i am ready to buy the car, i am just trying to figure out if its been done properly as i am too far away to visit the car or the shop.

    any help would be very much appriciated.


    seller seems to be a great guy, i just cant get away from work to look at this car. i have a test flight today, so when my wheels hit the ground again i am hoping to make a bunch of calls.

    i do have Oscars name and the shops number. i just thought it prudent to ask my fellow fchaters for thoughts and see if anyone knows this Jalpa.

    thanks. MICHAEL

    Hi Michael,

    I'm a good friend of Gary, his wife DeShawn, and also a good friend of Oscar at Italy Service. I've known them separately for three years, and went to Gary & DeShawn's wedding a year and a half ago.

    I met them at through the Las Vegas Porsche Club, Ferrari Club, Italian Auto Club, and have been best friens with them ever since. They're the GREATEST!!!

    I've been having my Ferrari serviced at Italy Service since I arrived in Vegas, and all I can say is that it's never run better. I track the car, and they have kept it running like it just came off the showroom floor. That Jalpa is running great too!

    I know Gary, and I know his Jalpa. That car has been gone over in every way imaginable, and Gary has sweated every detail. You will not find a better Jalpa anywhere at more perfect condition than his!

    I know there is nothing there yet, but if you check www.italyservice.com in the next day or so, you will see the new website I'm doing for them.

    Meanwhile you will probably find pictures and info of Gary and DeShawn and Oscar at http://www.lviac.com and http://www.fclv.org or you can feel free to write me or call me at (702) 341-1606.

    You will LOVE that Jalpa!

    I had the chance to drive Gary's Jalpa. In reality,I wanted to drive the with Dee in it, but he kicked her out ! some friend..
    The car ran perfectly, traffic or speed, she did well. More power and torque with the new pistons etc..the engine is balanced and it's easy to drive on the hwy.The only problem with the car was that he couldn't keep up with the LM while Dee was with me when pushed above the 135.. hahaha!!!
    Very nice, well maintained, well care for.
    Gary, thanks for making room for my LM !

    Go for it!

    If this is Gary’s car, I would say go for it. I have seen the car and it is a great looking and mechanicaly sound ride, It has been about 6 or so months when I last saw it so as long as nothings changed it should be a solid choice.

    Gary is a stand up guy and Italy Service is a very reputable establishment. The car is very unique and finding another Jalpa in the condition Gary kept his will be difficult.

    As for Italy Service, I have heard nothing but positive things about these guys. I would trust their opinion.

    Just my .02

    If you take the dive be sure to post pix of the ladies!!
