Noel - you understand my pain all too well! I am trying something a bit sneaky - I invited my service advisor to the dinner on saturday, thus putting him on the spot to have the car done by then. On an aside, what is this 'eat/sleep' you are referring to?!? --Dan PS: Noel - are you coming on Saturday? | ||

Hi Ming...I live here in Canada so the parts with the exchange was really high. I will dig out the work order estimate and I will post the prices for you. I'll have to post it around 7pm as I don't have e-mail or internet access at the shop. | ||

Dan, Ferrari of SF did that to me when I bought my Speciale 3 years ago. They promised 1 week for the 30k, but took 2 weeks. That 2 weeks felt more like 2 months. I cant sleep/eat thinking about the day I will pick up the car. Just hang in there. | ||

I did a full 30k service,on a 456gt and it took me 2 1/2 days to complete. The timing belts are easy to replace, in fact easier than on a 308. The cost of the parts is completely rediculous. I could not beleive the prices that they were asking for the stuff. I almost fell off my chair. 40 hours does seem to be a little high for the service. I had the timing belts done in about 6-7 hours. The rest of the time was spent changing fliuds,hoses, etc. | ||

Well, it started work last tuesday or wednesday, and originally we thought end of this week, but now I'm hearing maybe not even then. --Dan | ||

You can see what is done in your owners manual to take all that time. I will bet it takes them less than that but if i was to do it 40 hrs seems about right. aehaas | ||

Ok, so I understand that all belts / hoses, etc. get replaced - but can someone in more detail explain to me exactly what happens in the service that makes it a 40 hour long process? In short, why is my car away from me for so long??  --Dan |
