Join us at the club to view the two greatest spectacles of racing! Tickets are $10 per person and lunch will be available.

Join us on Saturday May 12, for this month’s installment of Cars & Caffeine! Here come the corvettes!

This year’s first Cars and Caffeine was definitely supercharged. The perfect spring day brought out over 100 of the best looking high caliber cars to the series opener. Multiple Fisker Karma’s, McLaren MP4′s and a Bugatti Veyron topped the list of exciting cars to be seen at the event.

San Jose State University’s Formula SAE program brought their school race car and operated the “The Laguna Seca Simulator Challenge”. All proceeds went to support their race car program. We thank our sponsor, Borelli Motorsports for sponsoring the tasty BBQ lunch. They also demonstrated their diesel powered auto body steam cleaner showing how it can clean a car without regular water.

The Dietsch Werks chassis dyno by Superflow was open for inspection. Many of the Club Auto Sport businesses were open and saw a lot of traffic come into their shops. Our thanks to McLaren San Francisco for bringing their cars and some of their customers with their cars.

Next month, we will be featuring Corvettes in addition to more of those great cars from in and around Silicon Valley.

Club Sportiva Selects Borelli Motor Sports as Its Exclusive Fleet Maintenance Provider

Club Sportiva offers its customers a unique exotic car experience—through rentals of exotic and luxury cars, one-of-a-kind tours, car sharing, and more. To maintain its stable of 25 sports and high-end luxury vehicles and provide complete car care services to its customers, Club Sportiva has chosen Borelli Motor Sports to handle all of its fleet maintenance requirements.

San Jose, Calif., March 28, 2012 — Founded in 2003, Club Sportiva (www.clubsportiva.com) is an auto enthusiast’s dream.  Have you ever imagined being able to drive a high-performance Ferrari, followed by a Lamborghini, Lotus, Audi R8, Aston Martin DB9, and Nissan GTR all in one day over some of the Bay Area’s best backroads—finishing with a complimentary lunch at Alice’s Restaurant in Woodside?  That dream can be yours if you sign up for Club Sportiva’s Exotic Car Tour.

Club Sportiva is an exotic car rental, tour and car-sharing business with clubhouses located in San Francisco, Menlo Park and at Club Auto Sport in San Jose.  By joining Club Sportiva, members have several ways to enjoy the exotic car experience.  They can rent high-end sports or luxury cars such as a Ferrari, Bentley, Lotus, or Tesla for a day, week, or longer.  Or, if they own an exotic car that Club Sportiva doesn’t already own and would like to be able to offer to its members, they can arrange to share their exotic car into Club Sportiva’s fleet and earn points toward driving privileges in the club’s other cars.

And now, to ensure that Club Sportiva’s entire fleet of 25 or more vehicles is always perfectly tuned for the highest performance, best handling and maximum safety, Club Sportiva has signed an agreement for all of its fleet maintenance to be done by Borelli Motor Sports in its shop at Club Auto Sport in San Jose.

“Borelli Motor Sports has a state-of-the-art facility and some of the top technicians in the area with the expertise to work on high-end, high-performance automobiles,” said Sia Bani, co-owner of Club Sportiva.  “The team at Borelli Motor Sports is far more accomplished than that at any dealership in the area—even those that sell and service the kinds of exotic and luxury cars we provide.  Their technicians maximize the performance, handling and safety of the cars in our fleet.”

Driving Customer Referrals

Club Sportiva is doing more than simply sending its fleet of owned cars to Borelli Motor Sports.  The club recently established Club Sportiva Motor Services to offer additional car-related services designed for its customers’ own vehicles.

“Many of our customers come in to rent an exotic car or take a tour, and they leave their ‘daily driver’ Mercedes, BMW, Acura, or whatever they rely on for getting around town with us,” Bani explained.  “If their cars need service, our customers trust us to take the cars to the right shop for maintenance.  We bring those vehicles to Borelli Motor Sports.”

The work Borelli Motor Sports is asked to do ranges from specialized, highly technical jobs such as fitting a Corvette engine into a Club Sportiva customer’s Jaguar—to installing new tires and providing alignment and balancing services.  Borelli Motor Sports’ knowledgeable technicians have a combined 75 years of experience and are among the most skilled and trusted in their specialties in the Bay Area.  They handle it all—from expert maintenance to performance modifications few technicians are qualified to do.

“Borelli Motor Sports is pleased to have the opportunity to provide our fleet maintenance services to a company with Club Sportiva’s reputation for quality,” said Ralph N. Borelli, president of Borelli Motor Sports.  “We know their customers expect only the best when they rent an exotic or luxury car, and our technicians strive to ensure that Club Sportiva’s cars never disappoint.”

Added Bani, “We wanted to establish a relationship with a shop that we would trust with our own cars.  By working closely with Borelli Motor Sports, we can now provide one-stop service to our customers for everything from unique driving experiences to the proper care for their cars.”

Borelli Motor Sports has introduced a number of new custom detailing packages for cars, trucks, motorcycles, and even boats. A featured component of most of these packages is a revolutionary, environmentally friendly steam-cleaning service using the Optima Steamer.

“For many of our customers, their vehicles are valuable assets that they race or show,” said Ralph N. Borelli, president of Borelli Motor Sports. “We know it’s important for the vehicles to look their best and be well protected against the elements. Our new detailing packages — including the use of the Optima Steamer — are designed to meet those needs.”

Choose the Package That’s Right for You

Borelli Motor Sports offers detailing packages at prices starting as low as $65: Hand wash. Full detailing, interior and exterior. Detailing with clay treatments and waxing. Or perhaps your ride deserves the Works. Borelli Motor Sports lets you choose among a variety of packages — with one that’s just right for you, including specialized additional services such as bug and tar removal, headlight restoration, chrome polishing, and decal removal.

Exciting Optima Steamer Transforms Detailing

Most of Borelli Motor Sports’ detailing packages include use of the innovative Optima Steamer — whether it’s wet steam cleaning for your car’s exterior or undercarriage, or dry steam cleaning for interiors including removing odors from your vents. Detailers that don’t have the Optima Steamer are missing a great tool.

“The Optima Steamer is amazing,” declared Charles May, a Borelli Motor Sports technician who has used the equipment many times for detailing. “It does an incredible job of dry and wet cleaning while being super friendly to the environment.”

Relying on the latest in water-saving steam technology, the Optima Steamer can quickly and safely remove dirt, stains, grease, odors, and other contaminants from all exteriors or in the engine bay. The machine uses only one gallon of water to wash a typical car. And because everything is turned to steam, there’s no wastewater runoff to worry about.

Among the key benefits are:

•     Removes contaminants from paint without clay bars or undue pressure

•     Reduces use of water and chemicals

•     Cleans in hard-to-reach areas such as vents and small spaces

•     Deodorizes and sterilizes surfaces as it cleans

•     Virtually eliminates wastewater

•     Works on car exteriors and interiors including carpets, floor mats, cloth upholstery, and plastic parts that are not part of electronics systems

“We’re looking forward to adding the Optima Steamer’s capabilities to our detailing packages,” Borelli noted. “The results are truly remarkable—the ability of the steaming process to penetrate even the tiniest spaces leaves vehicles truly looking and smelling like new.”
