Ferrari Of Tampa Bay Service Anyone?

I have owned 3 ferraris including my current 458. I never heard anything bad about that dealer. I did hear good things but that was a few years ago.

There is one private shop down there that I knew one of the two owners and he was not a man to trust. He is dead I was told so who knows if it is good or bad place to go now.

I can tell you the orlando dealer is wonderful. I take all my Ferraris to thrm and have always been happy. I even took my Mosler and they were able to fix it while others could not.

Good luck

Anthony, the parts and service guy, has always been a pleasure to talk to. What has your experience been so far?

 

tyler I am not sure who you are asking. The only Anthony I know is a salesman in Orlando Ferrari.

Orlando Ferrari, Rocky is the service writer and is polite. The parts person I do not remember his name but he was able to help me as needed. If you want your car taken up there instead of where you are Rocky is your contact.

Yhe main person is Bruce who is their lead Ferrari mechanic. He is certified so he can rebuild a Ferrari engine and it is stamped or treated as if it was done in Italy by Ferrari. That is a big deal! I have been happy with the other service people in work in the dealership also.

They have always been good to me and my Fcar owner buddies.

I recomend them without hestitation!

I'm generally quite happy with them. Like most F dealers you pay a premium and at times it takes them a while to get things done, but given that they are the only authorized dealer on Floridas west coast and generally quite busy this is understandable.
Anthony Genellaro is the service advisor and I've only had good luck with him

 

Me too... great guy and always works to get things solved.

 

I had my first experience with them this past summer, and although the bill was a doozy the service was first rate.

 

I have had nothing but great Service. Anthony in service is always willing to help. They basically rebuilt my 328 and I bought a 360 from them and have nothing but good things to say on how they have treated me. They do give the FCOA 10% discount

 

Ouch.....that doesn't sound like a fun way to spend a Saturday. Sorry for your troubles and while this sort of thing shouldn't happen, unfortunately sometimes it does. Fortunately my experience with them has been very good.
If you need some "local help" - before you make the trip again, feel free to PM me.

 

The sales and management seems to change periodically but the mechanics are first rate. I would trust my Enzo work to them.

Try Frank Maderi at this site: http://www.forzamotorcars.com/index.html . He has done all the work on my 348tb and has the computers for the latest models.

mixed bag of experiences
I would go to F of CF

 

thanks Bruce ,
Just back from italy.. worked with engineers at Leonardo factory and visted friends at tony auto in maranello. FACTORY tour was great . I was told by someone very high up at FTB oh you cant get in. the guy is a BSA . while we were in the F1 section they brought in a Alonso car just shipped back from Thursdays Monza testing. They covered that car so quick... and stood there with their arms crossed till we left. It is worth staying in Maran ello and Modena a week . Dont forget to go to the weekly street venders. Its llike a farmers market here in the states. Hotel Domus has best breakfast. Hotel daily planet best rooms . Fresco ! I'M miss it already ! FORZA...

 

Love your Avatar! Congrats, beautiful; regards e

 

I used to work in the service department at FoTB, a lot has changed since I have left. I am going to be starting my own exotic and luxury exclusive shop in the Tampa Bay area soon, if anyone has questions please feel free to PM me.

Stephane, don't you have any independent Ferrari mechanics anywhere closer?

 

This dealer is right in my back yard. Glad to see so many familiar faces around here. Hope your car is taken care of and fixed properly!
