Repair Shop: Expedition Imports Land Rover Repair, St. James, New York, USA

Expedition Imports, located in St. James, New York,  is owned and operated by Scott Dalton. Scott is a lifelong automotive enthusiast. Specializing in Land Rovers and other European vehicles, Scott's shop prides itself on obsessive attention to detail, personalized service and a spirit of ingenuity that demands: if they can’t find a part, they’ll make it in the family machine shop.

Scott gets his dedication to service and love of the automotive industry from his father, the owner of an engine rebuilding and machining business and his late grandfather, the owner of a Volvo and Volkswagen dealership. 

One evening after work, Dalton happened upon a 1963 Land Rover Series IIa which had become a planter for moss, mud and weeds. He bought it on the spot for $500 and a six-pack of Heineken, and so began his love affair with Rovers. With Expedition Imports, Dalton has built his hobby into a thriving business working on the vehicles he loves. In an interesting twist of fate, the shop is located directly across the street from the auto dealership his grandfather founded in 1963.

Most days, Dalton can be found in the shop late into the night, keeping the torch lit for lovers of eccentric vehicles everywhere.  But here is a shot of no one there, just for giggles.
