    Auto Elite comes very well recommended, you may want to use the search function to get the recommendation sent by others.

    I have a 430 and went to vinnie because he was local. Gave me an estimate on a transmission job of $4500...got a second opinion and it ended costing me $800 to fix..would not recommend this guy. Second guy was steve at arena motors. Will never go back to auto elite.

    Been using Vinny since 2001; he just performed his second major on my 328 this spring. Excellent work and very honest and fair pricing as far as my experience goes. One of the few "old world" Ferrari mechanics left in the Tri-state area...

    A+ vinny is honest,reliable and as previosly stated, last of the old world mechanics. he doesn't take a lot of work on all at once to rush. he takes his time and does the right thing. i stop by when i'm in the area to say hello and to see what he's working on and always proud to show me the work thats needed and the job he's doing.do a search on facebook and look at his shop pics.pm me if more info is needed. highly recommended!

    Vinny is great.

    My thoughts are with him as his Son passed away last weekend.

    RIP

    That is terrible, terrible news! I last spoke with Vinny in early July and his son seemed to be doing better.

    I nostri pensieri and preghieri sono con lui e la sua famiglia.

    Vinnie, is one of the best around, even Ferrari dealer calls him on the rare occasion that they are stuck for a diagnosis. He has done major work on my ferraris and has always been on spot. as far as the above person with the transmission problem i can only say that perhaps he was giving the worse case possible , once he found the problem he would have told him it was simple. He would never do anyone wrong.
    As a very meticulous person, i would recommend his work very highly and without reserve. In fact i have my 74 Dino flare/chair there right now in which he is finishing a engine and compartment restoration.

    Lastly all his clients have there thoughts and prayers with him and his family at the tragic loss of his son .
