Ferrari Club of America

+1. The dealer in our chapter (Midwestern Auto Group Ferrari) specifically refers to this discount in their advertising to our group!

 

I also received a 10% discount on my costs of shipping a non-Ferrari car with Passport Transport with my FCA membership. They have a nice club magazine also.

I'm an FCA member but just knew this...good to know!

 

Yes sir! Worth the price of admission right there.

 

Foreign Cars Italia offer the discount. I just gave them my membership card when paying the bill and they made a copy of it (probably for the auditors). Discount is taken before they add the incidentals such as shop materials, waste disposal etc. My membership has paid back many fold.

When you set up the appointment is preferred.

At drop off would be fine.

When you pick your car up will work, but it's creating more work , as the invoice would have to be re-done to apply the discounts.

No one speaks or mentions the FCA out here. I heard that the "Pacific Region" is really California and that Hawaii members are part of that group. I could pay up to join but would not get to participate in any of the driving activities which I really enjoy but the discount...hmmm I need to check on that with our Ferrari dealership.

 

Hey Kevin ... let me know what you find out.

 

10% is substantial as our car repairs at the dealership isnt cheap.

I have saved almost $1,000.00 already in FCA discount as my maintenance and repairs at the dealership has reached almost $10K already.

I am taking my car in to Ferrari of Seattle in 2 weeks for a new clutch so that would be another savings of $800.00 +

I highly recommend being a FCA member if your local dealership honors the discount.

I emailed our guy but he didn't get back yet!

$8,000 for a clutch -- wowsa that is way too much.

For context, MAG Ferrari in Dublin was paid to inspect my 2009 12,000 mile 430 Scuderia. They reported that the gas cap electronic release, radio, and power mirrors weren’t functioning, they did recommend brake lines and I approved that repair. To look further into the gas cap and issues they said the next step was to pull the dash for $6000-$8000, I declined since those are all less significant issues or have manual overrides.

The car gets shipped to me....turn signals as you know don't work. When my representative contacted MAG about this, their response was essentially, kick rocks. We’ll pull the dash for $6,000–$8,000." No offer to comp shipping, no real-world solution—just a firm stance on their inspection charge. To be clear, I do not expect them to fix the issue for free, as they didn’t cause it nor diag for free. However, standing by an inspection where such a basic issue was missed and offering no goodwill (whether waiving the inspection fee or assisting with shipping) is, frankly, unacceptable. The sad reality is that if I had known the turn signals didn’t work, I would have paid them to diagnose and continue with repairs. The gas cap, radio, and mirrors are all minor inconveniences, but turn signals are a fundamental safety function.

Years ago, when I worked as a quick lane tech then service advisor, at Nissan, every vehicle was inspected—even during a free multi-point check— lights, turn signals, and other basic safety indicators tested. Had MAG performed a free inspection and missed something minor or difficult to detect, I could understand. But missing a critical safety function like turn signals—especially on a PAID inspection where I said let me know whats wrong with the car —is a huge disappointment. Compression, leak down, hidden fluid leak etc not withstanding....but the "F-ing"(pun intended) turn indicating lights, come on.

I waited for a response from MAG, I just wanted what was right, not a free repair not comp the whole service bill, just cover shipping back to you and credit me for the inspection because it wasn't worth full price. Mistakes happen but doubling down in this manor, "F" you. For MAG Ferrari management to tell the customer, at the customers expense, ship the car back to us and we stand behind our full price inspection, awful. As someone who sat through hours of dealership training, was regional gold service advisor.....all of this is shocking. I nor would the dealership I worked for would find this acceptable. The cost of the car wouldn't matter, where you bought the car wouldn't matter. Our brand's on the roof you're our customer now and we messed up. Either the mechanic failed to notice the turn signals, failed to write a service narrative that was descriptive, or failed as a service advisor who left out crucial information upon updating the customer. We, the dealership would get to the bottom of it. Any dealership who intends on staying in business would run a corrective action report run and attempt to salvaged the customer experience as much as possible.

This is my first Ferrari and I noticed the switches were out of order.....you're trying to tell me your highly trained Ferrari mechanic didn't catch this and you first recommendation is lets pull the dash out of this car for 8000 dollars. Either MAG is nefarious or incompetent, pick your poison.

I am highly disappointed in my Midwestern Auto Group Ferrari Dealership Experience, Verdict, avoid completely.

Yeah, that's definitely bad service. Have you tried escalating to the GM? I don't know how Ferrari handles dealership disputes, but I would at least drop a note to Ferrari corporate to complain. My wife use to be a service writer for Nissan when she was in college, It was crazy the stuff corporate did to cover for bad dealer service sometimes.

 

Sorry it's after the fact, but never use MAG for Ferrari service/repair. Should have shipped it to NJB in Westerville, OH.
