    My 348 is getting it's major from EUGENIO!! Man, what this guy does to Ferrari's is incredible. Emails with daily updates and pictures etc, etc.. What a class act. Here is some of what is being done:

    - engine has been out for about a week and is almost ready to go back in.
    - alot of attention to details.
    - I'm getting the major + clutch + water pump + alternator + TO bearing.
    - It's getting cleaned up / catching up on alot of little things / errors / etc
    - engine is going to look like new (probably better than new)
    - I'm getting ready for the next 348 on-line car show contest and if I don't win this time then it must be a conspiracy :):)

    Oh yeah I also recently had Fernando at Prestige recover both seats in new leather a couple weeks ago and I will get some pics of that out when I get the car back. They look awesome. Enjoy these pics The motor looks like it is brand new :)

    Eugenio is THE man. He really does a fantastic job.

    The cats I got from you are still getting the job done. :D I'm gonna have to make it out to your neck of the woods again one of these days. But this time I wanna be sure I'm able to hang out for a bit longer. Tell Eugenio I say hi.

    Almost worth buying a Ferrari just to have Eugenio do his thing. :)

    My 328's due for a major this December. It's like a big life event...

    Hey Brent,

    Blessings,
    Scott
    BTW: The car looks amazing. Who else but our buddy Eugenio does work like this? NOBODY!

    Who do you recommend in the tri state area.I understand why Eugenio is a fan favorite.
    It has to be one of the cleanest shop's ive ever seen.Straight foward pricing on his minor
    and major service.Great web site, does someone come close to his work in the New York area.

    Scott,

    Sounds great! I travel to Fresno on business now every other month, I let you know when I'm back up that way and we can do dinner. Eugenio is truly the best. Glad you kept your 355, it's one nice ride... especially the wheels:)

    Chris, it's most likely going back in Monday.. I don't think I'm invited though. I don't want to disturb him when he works his magic. Besides I think I ask too many questions:):) I'll post pics though.

    A little further south in MD (near DC) you can go to our shop Competizione : http://competizionecars.com/ They are every bit as good as Eugenio -- if not better :) :) Seriously do a search on the mid atlantic board. They have people from across all the east coast going to them for the FANTASTIC work they do

    The only good independent I've heard of nearby is IFS outside of Boston area, not exactly close. I tackled mine on my own, hoping to get it buttoned up by spring!

    This must have sent Chris running to his garage to clean his motor out - basically take out the three specs of dirt on it. ;)

    Wow, time flies! I remember the major being done just before you got the car. How long have you had it now?

    Congrats on the new leather as well - Can't wait to see some pics.

    Hope all is well!
