House of Cobras in Orange is an authorized sub-dealer for Superformance. Meaning they can sell you a new SPF. They get the car from Hillbank who is the authorized dealer for SoCal. This is my understanding from having talked with both Dean Woodruff the owner of HOC and people at Hillbank. I did a lot of research when I was shopping for my car. I spoke with a number of people who have done business with Dean and they all had nothing but positive things to say about him. HOC in Orange was purchased by Dean a few years ago I think so I cannot speak to what happened before he bought it.

I don't know what kind of warranty Hillbank would give on a new SPF or the install of engine and trans. I know Dean gives a 12 month/12,000 mile warranty on his installs. I found that to be very unique and impressive considering he was giving this warranty on very high performance engines. Very few people will actually give you a warranty as opposed to, "If there are any problems we will handle it."

HOC and Hillbank are both good businesses to deal with and I have had nothing but positive experiences with both. What you get when you buy a car from HOC in Orange is Dean Woodruff and his mechanics who work right there and have been working on Cobras for years. Hillbank and the Standers are wonderful people but they do not have their own shop. They use someone who is located in the same strip mall as they are. Forgive me for although I have met the people at the shop they use I cannot remember any names.

I hope I have not just further confused the issue.
