458 Annual Maintenance

$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.

 

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

 

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.

 

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?

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 ….

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.
