    Hi:

    I searched the thread and could not find anything. Can I get a recommendation on an independent Ferrari mechanic in the PDX/Vancouver area? I was going to take the car to RTGT but they have not gotten back to me and I hear their prices are a bit high. Thanks.

    Jag Shop. Craig and crew are quite good.

    I've heard that too but RTGT has treated us fairly, the service mgr did retire but Sean has taken up where he left off.

    360 is the next 275GTB

    I used to work in a Saab specialty shop...

    We had a customer with a 348 who highly recommended Craig and the Jag shop. Others did too...but he was the only one with an F car. (IIRC, they also specialize in Jags (obviously) and New Minis.)

    Another Ferrari mechanic can be found at ATD.

    By report, there's another one on the west side somewhere.

    No experienced Ferrari mechanics in Vancouver that I'm aware of.

    For a 360, I'd go to either RTGT or the Jag Shop. ATD is better on carb cars. I take my 612 to RTGT, for whatever that's worth.

    Craig at the Jag shop is very good. Just can be busy, so allow a little time if a major service is needed.

    360 is the next 275GTB??

    IMHO, the 550 Maranello was the next 275 GTB. :)

    No argument really...Too many 360s made, but I sure love mine.

    360 is the next 275GTB

    I am a few days late. I had Craig replace the clutch in my Maserati CC. He also installed a Formula Dynamics Drive By Wire upgrade. That was 2 years ago and the car has never run better.

    He is a bit busy. I was after him to work on my 308 a while back but there was some turmoil (something about moving the location of the shop) and I did not take it in.

    Highly recommended.
