My client wants an older LX570 for a daily and spotted this example around DFW. They may be 800+ miles from the vehicle, but I'll make them feel like they just saw👀 it in person with me...

17k miles, factory paint, and only a handful of small stone chips, my client found themself a very nice condition Mustang. All controller data looks good and the inspection👀 is looking super positive😀

It's a very DMC Friday today

My client likes the executive trim package on this BMW and wants it fully assessed. Loads of electrical to check and computer data to sift through in addition to reporting the general conditions of how it presents. I'm all over it👀

This Granturismo caught my clients attention and has come in for an in-house examination. It's a fair example overall and the interior trim surfaces are just as sticky as I would have expected them to be. Inspection time👀

In-house inspection👀 with my client present and they get to see all the data on their potential purchase as it unfolds. They get to be part of the conversation with the example and, of course, interact during the process.

A/C repairs ❄
On the list of issues to resolve with this '75 Silver Shadow is that the a/c has never worked. After retro-fitting it to 134A, electrical and metering troubles were discovered. Upon solving them all, it's pushing chilly❄ mid-40 degree air with 95 degree 🔥 ambient temp today. I may stay in here and do paperwork the rest of the day...

Steering racks and front end joints...
This Corniche II sprang a p/s fluid leak from its rack bellows and had front end play. Rebuilt, re-installed, and ready to roll, the Corniche can continue to proceed again

This morning I had tea with crumpets, not coffee, not sure why...

This Pilot has been misbehaving for the client- battery draw, flashing lights, flickering dash, random theft alarm at night. No codes present and it's time to pull a main power module. Sure enough, I see dendritic error🧐. Nice little intermittent short in there.
Fix the module board and save on replacement and programming seems like the best way to go...

Is Mercury currently in Retrograde🤔? Looks like we've gone retro in time with this Mercury in the shop for diagnostics.

Bruce dropped the Batmobile for a few more repairs, that's just like Batman Returns, right? 😆

This Embassy Gold '69 Riviera spent a few months with me. I inspected👀 it out in Bend, Oregon for my client and negotiated it's purchase. My client then tasked me with its complete rehab and repair at my shop before transporting it on to them.
It was restored about 3 decades ago using OE and NOS parts (still had it's Double Eagle tires on it) before being left to sit in storage. It didn't run well, hold any fluids, and had numerous electrical errors in addition to mechanical troubles from being assembled wrong, or sitting too long.
After much mechanical work and rehab, it runs great, has zero leaks, no electrical issues, blows cold air again, and is a fantastic drive. I am very happy my client will fully enjoy it, but sad that my time with it has come to a close. 💛Off it goes on transport...

Timing belts, water pumps, major mileage maintenances, etc:

After digesting a bowl of copper spaghetti for lunch, and correcting errors, the Batmobile fires right up. Gotham City will be safe.

Bruce called me...said Gotham City needs me, today.

Happy
'68 Beetle needs my attention and will receive it 💜

Deafening day today. What!? I said I'm setting carburetors up on a t-bucket...

The Time Machine left and another DMC-12 arrived to get ready for summer with a short list of concerns and items to address. It's a remarkably clean early build.

Hanging with Marty the time machine for the day. Or longer- it's a time machine, we have all the time in the world🤣

Off to Cali with the transporter goes the AM DBS Superleggera
