458 Annual Maintenance

What's the going rate on 1 year annual service at the dealerships? I have a 2011 458 Italia. I'm being quoted between $700 and $2,000. The $2,000 quote include coolant flush.

 

$600 typically covers engine oil and filter change, cabin air filter change and chassis lubrication. So $1400 for a coolant flush? Sounds outrageously expensive and would drive DIY.

 

Interesting; I am a DIY type so I am sure I will change the oil and filters myself; I'm looking into the other items

 

Depends on what part of the country you're in.

 

South Texas: Houston area

 

The later 458 with the 7 yr. maintenance service cycle. 1 yr it is oil chge, filters overall ck. The next yr is the major plus the minor therefore cost will vary for you dependent which service you want.

 

i was charged about $1,800 at a dealership. i took it there because before i went in they said one more service was covered and then i show up and they say its not. since i was already there and it's an hour a way and a big pain to schedule rides, etc. i just had them do it. i have a local shop i usually go to that charges my less than have. dealerships really rip you off.

I'm talking minor service; The previous owner did the major plus minor in 2018.

 

You'll need to check with your local Ferrari Dealership what they will charge you for the minor service, but I can't see it would be more than 500.00. Oil change, filter change, air filter change plus a cursory overall eval. The actual air filter can be purchased via internet if you desire to save a few dollars.

 

What is "major" service on a 458? Mine just had the last of 7 years covered maintenance and I don't see anything remotely major in the receipts (unless you consider an alternator belt or brake fluid major).

Maybe the major service is the cabin air filter they've probably changed 5 times in 2,500 miles?

 

Full service :
Oil Change
Brake Flush
Coolant Flush
Gearbox
Engine filters
Cabin Filters
Wipers
And all the checks and balances
Nut & Bolt , etc... $2500.00

Oil Service $ 650.00

Thanx Andrew, that's a good line-up.

I think that it's about time that we do these very basic and simple things ourselves instead of throwing away lots of $$$.

For that reason I am writing a thread about it ….

The plugs were changed on mine in 2018 as part of major service according to invoices I received from PO.

 

docf, That was the point of my original post; I am being quoted between $700 and $2,000 for a "non-major" annual service by the local dealerships in South Texas. The $2,000 includes a coolant change.

 

My last annual "free" service was (quoted to the factory) €1100 in NL … (March 2019)

 

You're dreaming

 

Anyone changed his frontpads yet on his 458 of 2012? Also look here ...

Do you have the exact F oem number please ?

Does it end on 1668 ? Pricing ?

 

You must be talking to Ferrari of Houston. They charge extra to pay for their racing budget.
