550 Belt change due

I am due for a major service on my 01 550. I live in Maine and I am looking for a place in New England to do a quality job. According to the service records I have, the last two belt changes were done by a Volvo dealership!! So I question the quality of those jobs. I have called about every shop in New England that I know of and I get lots of different answers as to how to set up the cam/crank timing. It has varied from the 'mark and pray' method, to just line up all the marks on the crank and cams. I have only talked to one shop that actually has a degree wheel, but I didn't get the feeling they were sure how to use it!!?? Is setting the crank and cams to the marks good enough? Presently the car is scary quick to me, but I don't think it has the power to spin the wheels in 2nd gear like some folks have said it should be able to do. I did find a place in NY that has a degree wheel and knows how to use it. But I didn't want to have to ship the car that far. But, if that is what I need to do to get the car correct, I will. I will post a thread in the New England section to get recommendations on where to get the car serviced in case I missed any.
If I want the car to be spot on, do I need to keep searching for someone who can actually use a degree wheel and set the cams correctly and not depend on the marks on the cams?

Thanks, Jim

 

Terry- Thank you for the details on the cam/crank setup. I had read Moorfan's 550 sorting thread which gave me a clue that doing the crank/cam setup was not something quick and simple if it was done properly. Degreeing the cams is what I want done, I am afraid "lock and swaps" are what have been done in the past.
Bradan is the shop in NY that I talked with that gave me the impression they knew what they were doing. But I am outside of their pickup zone and it is going to cost over $1K to ship the car to them.

 

I wish I could drive it to a shop, it is a 8-9 hr drive to Bradan's depending on NYC traffic. Last time I drove the car, when I pulled into my garage there was a few drops of antifreeze on the floor behind the car and when I opened the hood there was steam coming up around the center of the intake manifold. Three hours later there was a large puddle of water under the car. So new cooling system hoses are also on the list for replacement.
Terry, I did have said mechanic look at my car before he moved to FL and he said he didn't have the tools to do a full timing setup on my car.

 

A quick follow up- After talking with, or visiting, all of the shops that have been recommended here, except one, Bradan is picking up the car this week. They are going to do the Major and take care of some other issues that are nagging me. I'm hoping it doesn't snow here in New England before I get the car back and have to put it in storage for the winter.

 

Things Bradan does as part of their "standard" Major, others are either asking extra for or don't consider necessary to be done. They are also very reasonably priced, less expensive than most I talked with. As they have never worked on this car before, they said they were going to do a full PPI to see what else it needs. After I bought the car, I had a PPI done by the Ferrari guy in NH, before he gave up on the snow and headed for FL. It will be interesting to see to compare findings.

 

I was surprised at the number of Ferrari shops that either didn't have a degree wheel, or didn't have the correct size wheel for the 550, or didn't seem to know the procedure to use the wheel. I didn't try the dealerships as I have had a bad experience at one and the other is reputed to be very expensive, even by Ferrari standards. I only found 3 shops in NY or New England that are prepared, and knowledgable, to properly use a degree wheel on the 550.
