    I'm thinking about picking up a low-mile '94 Diablo. Where would I be able to get it serviced locally? I'm in SW WA - Vancouver Area.

    :cheers:

    A friend of mine in Portland, OR was the lead/factory trained tech and Lambo Northwest/Grand Prix Motors when it was around.

    He's ASE Master certified and Porsche Master certified, I've worked with him around many Ferraris and Lambo...he's very capable.

    He now works at a Porsche Specialty shop around Portland, if you want to know where and how to get in touch with him shoot me a PM.

    I was hoping for something closer to me - I have one car up in Bellevue right now.

    No service department, at least not one like Lambo Bellevue. Maybe in the future.

    If not Josh who is crazy good in Bellevue then Joe the lead factory trained mechanic for Lamborghini of Portland (before it closed) now works at www.speedsports.net.

    Matt Crandal who was the GM at PI/Lambo of Portland owns speed sports.

    www.rtgt.com can work on lambo's as well if not under warranty. Call and ask for Kelly Brown

    Good Luck

    Joe left speedsports. He's now at an independent Porsche specialist shop, I don't remember the name right now.

    I will talk to Kelley and Chris at RTGT. They (of course) service my Ferraris, but did not want to touch my Vanquish. They are good guys - if they can handle the Diablo, I would feel comfortable.

    I have a tentative deal on it pending PPI.

    Doesn't Mr. Tonkin have a Diablo or two? I know he has several Lambos.

    I spoke to Chris - he said they could do most work on it, as long as no special tools are required. So, they can at least change the oil!
