    Tons of positive comments on this board - use the search function. The downside is apparently he's busy and I have heard it can take some time to get an appointment.

    Very strangely, newbies wander in here every two months, mentioning him, and starting new threads .....to keep his name on everyone's lips!

    Pretty strange for a shop with a phone and a website if you ask me.......

    He's never posted a word on here, or helped anyone fix a problem like Rifledriver or 91tr or Ferrarifixer.......not a sponsor, anything like that....


    BUT he's a LEGEND in some folks minds, working behind his Mom's house on the cheap and pouring the fluids down the storm drain, killing the sea otters..

    THAT's what I have heard anyway...:rolleyes:

    Are YOU him?????

    j/k...it's a fine shop by all accounts, and he LOVES sea otters........

    He should sit down to a keyboard sometime and say "hello" and send Rob some money for the constant advertising/trolling....that's all!

    Maybe next time someone's there they could give us his business license info and restration to handle refrigerants and other toxic chemicals..:D

    Tex,

    You are a little behind in the times.

    Eugenio opened a shop a long time ago and has seen moved to a bigger shop.

    http://www.eugeniosferrariservice.com/
    http://emelbon.tripod.com/eugeniosferrariservice.html

    Unlilke some Houston mechanic's that claim to send Lamborghini parts back to Italy when they are just a few doors down, Eugenio is the real deal.

    Vregh,

    I just saw Eugenio today. He doesn't spend much time on the web as he's so busy working on cars. He was working on a beautiful 355 today. Give him a call and get on the calendar. He really has been very helpful with my 348. I live close to his shop and he made a house call the other day to replace the infamous triple seals on my car. 10 min to put the seals on and 5 min to put the bellhousing back on. I finished up the rest and it hasn't leaked a drop.

    Wow! That's fast...FAST! F A S T!

    Oh, and he has posted pics to his website to help with fchat questions in the past (e.g. the weld fix that he did for a 348 sub-frame for $50 that saved the owner from buying a $12,000 chassis from Italy).

    The 348 rear engine cradle, if that's the part you're referring to isn't $12,000. I sent one to a customer last week for about 1/3 that price.

    Back on topic, that is a fast R&R for the triple seals! And, his new website looks fantastic!!

    Not to mention the TDC pics posted to help people with the TDC sensor problem they were having http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=102649

    Daniel, I think No Doubt was referring to an F355 frame. I remember the pics.

    He repaired my ignition problem on my 308QV. Took him 45 minutes. I'm happy.

    Eugenio is a great mechanic.
    He has worked on my car for over 3 years.
    He has done a major and minor service.
    The only other work done on the car has been oil changes.
    I would highly recomend him to anyone.

    Before I ever came on Ferrarichat, I was doing a Yahoo search on 348 service for info...Euginio's website came up and I looked through the whole thing, because he quoted prices on EVERYTHING and explained everything very well...Could be the answer to your question?

    I was going to ask the same question when I first came on Fchat, about Euginio..but for me it would be out of reach to send my car to the other coast.

    And tmobileguy goes all the way back to 2004......

    OK, I stand corrected...a wonderful guy....salt of the Earth....

    I'll put the Velzys on the roof rack and head out for a tune up.......

    You know Matteo, you are pretty out of date on the Houston scene as well...whatever..

    Slim fast? Dude, poverty keeps ya' THIN!!! That and runnin' around checkin' on cars for the West Coast guys......

    So back to the original post....Fcat threads work even better than a quick Google search, in cases like this? Discuss........

    Thanks Jean-Louis, I tend to support a good independent as well, given the chance.......

    Trying to think of something insulting to say in return about California but I had a wonderful time there and count many friends in the crowd....I guess I need more practice as a hater! Huh?

    Is there anything that would cause the comment above, about Texas?

    *confused*


    Matteo you don't have to answer, your past here speaks for itself....glad you got "back in".

    come on Bubba, at least have some dignity and honesty

    weren't you here back in Nov '05 starting the same crap, when in fact he had the same exact info on his website then, as he does now.

    let me refresh your memory :

    and lastly,
    do you even own a Ferrari ?

    OK, I read thru that...did I insult anyone? Slim Fast was NOT mentioned...and Brian Crall weighs in that prices vary considerably by region....

    My posts as I have explined to Matteo via PM are SOMETIMES intended as inquiries, sometimes satire, sometimes humor......

    NEVER in a mean spirited or insulting way...OK?

    So I was somewaht surprised at the vitriol that surfaced today...no worries.

    Look if the guy is giving ya'll great service and performance at a great price, I say "Good on him", you have misread my intent entirely.....we should all be so blessed.

    So will we see another thread in two months again with his name in it?
    His Google hit count HAS to be right up there with the World's Fastest Art Car! It would help if his name was spelled correctly..:rolleyes:

    Good night, Joe...... we are two hours sleepier here!

    My enrollment date is '02 and I was on the old site as well, and we were beating this around THEN, so I vote he gets a bigger advertising budget! LOL!
