    Went by O'Gara this morning. They've enlarged to the space next door which is under construction. They tore down the wall about a week ago. They have become an authorized McLaren factory service center and get their parts directly from the UK overnight.

    They are going to install a 14K lb lift to do Rolls Royce service in the new space, an alignment machine, and a detail shop to complete the PDI they get from new McLaren deliveries. Its impressive how quickly they built this from nothing in a few months.

    Still doing Ferrari service but you can see they are working on a lot of Macs now. Something Las Vegas has lacked way too long.

    I was there last week to get some minor stuff fixed, they did a great job and were way too generous with what they charged me. Rich is still the man. I’ve never bought a McLaren because I’d want it under warranty without having to ship it, so at least it’s an option now. Hope they do well.

    I went by O'gara today. You would not believe how much and how fast they have grown. They have so many McLarens to work on (at least 20) as well as Ferrari and 5 Rolls Royces. They expanded next door and put in lifts and an alignment machine. All this in about 6 months. Impressive but there was a pent up demand for McLaren factory service in Las Vegas for a while.

    Just friends with many who work there for many years. I'm not alone.

    I am personally very happy there is authorized McLaren service in Las Vegas. It was something we were lacking. Previously LV owners had a lot of trouble getting their cars fixed correctly. Many had to ship them to CA.

    Its good for the local economy and exotic car owners as was the first Ferrari dealership opening in 2008. Seeing LV grow and evolve over 20 years has been pretty amazing. Some rough patches of course but the momentum now is on the upswing.

    All of this. I think Bob, rylex, and I are the most frequent and longest tenured customers/fchatters who swear by Rich and the crew since the days of the “batcave”. I’m sure there’s more, I just don’t recognize their handles.

    ‘I get back in town from abroad on wed. Need to get down there and discuss my Defender engine options with Rich, Marc, and Jason.

    Dropped by O'gara yesterday afternoon to check on my car. We're waiting for a part.
    Took this video of the Ferrari's being serviced. More and more classics showing up in addition to newer cars. They are getting some business from LA and Utah as well as locals.

    Its pretty impressive how this service center has grown in less than one year.
