R S Motorsports

I own a European car shop in Ohio, when my head gasket started leaking on my 1991 Lotus Esprit Turbo SE and I found out this job required engine and transmission removal and none of my guys had ever be that deep into an Esprit I called the 2 biggest independent Lotus part houses in the US and they both gave me Ralph's name immediately! My experience with Ralph was marvelous. Besides repairing the head gasket Ralph went over the entire car and it has NEVER run as good as it does now (I've owned it for 6 years). We talked on a regular basis and I felt fully informed through out the entire job. If you have any major work that needs to be done on an Esprit Ralph is the man.

The owner appraised my Lotus Esprit S2, after my husband died. He refused to replace a fuel pump. He low-balled the value with a scam Dentist from the North Shore of Long Island. He owned 5 Lotus Esprit's and a GT-40. I sold the car for $26,000.00 on EBay to a Boston Porsche dealer. I returned the $3,000.00 deposit, as they left it with a niece. She was not the owner. They stalled the sale for weeks, threaten to sue me, and told me the car was worth $10,000.00? The Dentist was the high bidder on EBay and refused to pay. Then more threats and lawsuits. I had to relist for another $300.00. The owner of the shop claimed he worked at La Monza in Mahwah. He would have been 4 years old in 1978.

I do most of my own work and never go to a mechanic but some work I needed to do was stuff I was not comfortable with so for the first time in 25 years, I brought my car to a professional. RS Motorsports is THE place to bring your Lotus Esprit. Their expertise and knowledge is second to none and the amount of care that goes into your car is through the roof. Ralph is a wealth of knowledge, a great mechanic and an amazing person. I would trust no one else with my car.

We have used this shop for 25 years with GREAT results. The owner is a factory-trained Lotus mechanic. You cannot get his expertise or experience with Lotus anywhere else on the East Coast. Owners bring their cars to RS from all over the Eastern USA.

I recently had an Esprit serviced there and this while this remote shop had good recommendations, my experience found it to be very pricey for basic Lotus service. Parts and labor may be had for less, as for troubleshooting and communication, I wish there was more. I do t really feel so confidence inspired as for the work.
