    I'm very close to making my purchase, the only thing left to do is the PPI. The seller has his own mechanic but i'd prefer an independant to eliminate being on the downside of their long term relationship.

    Can anyone make a personal experience reference?

    TIA

    They are in Brookfield and did a PPI for me last summer. Found a number of things that the seller did not disclose and did a great job helping me. I am going to be bring the 308 I just purchased there for service. Ask for Filipo.

    Yesss thats the one the seller wants me to take it to, but my hesitation is that they have a long term relationship and i dont so i guess i'm a little concerned about possible bias but maybe Filipo can be neutral.

    thank you for that!

    Ferrari dealer Lake Forest SportsCars has pick up/delivery via enclosed carrier. From what I've heard, they're not that expensive (transport, that is) I'm sure you have researched them and know about their dealership and service dept.

    Give 'em a call. It is their "slow season". No affiliation.

    The only real choice is GT Performance in Pewaukee. Al Pinkowski knows the 70-80-90's Fcars and is the only one to touch mine.

    He repairs the problem and will take the time to find that stupid bad ground that these cars are famous for.

    Plus, if the car is a local one, he undoubtedly has spent time with it already.

    He is an independant. call him at 262.695.4238

    Reina Int. is the place to go. Tell them Marty told you they are the best and will be very fair with you. I have known them for about 20 years and have never done me wrong. Lorenzo can do anything. I trust him totally when I need service. You can also go to Al Pinkowski as he also knows these cars.

    By suggestion of another Fchatter, i spoke with Filipo @ Reina and we are set up for a PPI when the weather calms down, hopefully in a week or two. I'm hoping for the best, i have a good feeling about it and thank you all!

    Al Pinkowski is a great mechanic with his own business called GT Motorsports in Pewaukee. Very knowledgeable with great service! I purchased my 308 in the spring and he was the one recommended to me.
