    Wondering who other south Florida owners use when their Ferrari is out of warranty ?

    My new F12 is out and I wanted to look after a couple of items


    Thanks in advance

    I have also worked with The Collection in Coral Gables. They will give you a reduced labor rate on vintage Ferraris. A decent option where the work will very probably be done right; but you can find cheaper independent shops as well.

    Ferrari of Fort Lauderdale as others say...much better than the Collection in my opinion...I have had only good experiences thus far, knock on wood...they also give a pretty meaningful "vintage" discount once your car hits 8 or 10 years old (I can't remember the exact cut-off exactly). My cars run great between services there, and the employees are great.

    Who do you all work with at Ft Lauderdale that gives good service? I'm honestly at a loss right now.

    Ask for Cesar Valdez, he is very knowledgeable and a stand up guy.

    Also, Gabriel who is the service director.

    These guys are the best!
    Never had any issues and very happy with them

    It's a good lead but given the way the F12 is currently acting I'm unlikely to trust them to touch it ever again. Thanks.

    After returning my car with windshield replaced my radio had no single just crackling they reinstalled windshield
    to see if it solve problems but there was still no single, plus they weren’t to sure where the antenna was located.
    They have denied all responsibility and the issues still remains.

    Before this issue I’ve always had complete faith with them and always recommend them.
    The insurance paid in full for the work and parts $6.500,
    The dealership was willing do carry out more research into the issue but would charge me.

    Me too. My 430 is at mechanic #3 with ongoing transmission issues. I took it to him July of last year. Yes, you read that correctly. I took it in July 2022. I finally had him remove gearbox and sent it to specialist in CA. It's there now. I've had transmission problems for 10 years!

    Best wishes. A lot of these exotic mechanics are good at general service but fail miserably at larger issues. It's not a sign of weakness if you simply don't know what to do and admit it. I would respect that. Hasn't happened.

    A very large percentage of mechanics look at a transmission as a piece of alien technology. I cannot explain why. A good percentage of them suck at repairing them.

    Who in California did you send it to?

    Despite my windshield issues with Ferrari FtLauderdale I will continue to use them for
    "mechanical work" because of Christian and Stuart, It’s a different place from its past
    much less personal touch, But great tech’s they still have.

    Wasn’t it Christian and Stuart who left Ft. Lauderdale and opened their own shop called Blackhorse a while back? I used to go to them with my F430’s- they were great but Ferrari ‘bought’ them back lol… glad to hear they’re still there at Ft. Lauderdale Ferrari
