Looking for a job at the ferrari repair shop...please read.

Good thing your not looking to make money, Ferrari shops don't pay. Just call around, I'm sure someone will take you.
Good luck.

 

Are you looking for just a part time job at a dealer doing things like taking the drain oil and dumping it in the tank or picking up oily rags or sweeping the floors. If so maybe there is a job available but you'll have to go to a dealer in person. If you are looking to work on the customers cars then I don't think you'll have much luck. I would assume that the only hire certified mechanics from tech schools and as with most upscale cars they would require that you have factory training. I would suggest if you are going in that career direction that you sign up with an automotive tech school and get your certification. After that is is pounding the pavement getting a job with eith a good shop or a dealer. Good luck.

 

I thought exactly the same thing when I read your original post. Cars are cars, no matter what make. You need at least a basic working knowledge of auto repair before you start learning specifics about Ferraris. Especially with the new cars, they are so complex and require knowledge of how to work with computer codes that trying to simply learn what you need by working on Saturday simply isn't going to fly. There are courses available at local vo-techs and community colleges, in addition to the "professional" auto-tech schools (DeVry??). Once you have basic knowledge of how cars work and how to fix them, you can refine that knowledge by learning the ins and outs of Ferraris. I learned car repair as a kid. When I got my first F-car, an '84 Mondial, I had no problem working on it. Same with my 308. I pulled the engine out, changed the ignition system from distributors to electronics, rebuilt the carbs, timed the cams, did a ton of work. The basic skills work just fine on Ferraris, especially the older ones.

 

Try Bobby Singh over at Manhattan Motorsports, he has a smaller shop so the chances of getting your hands dirty working on a car would be greater than working in a large dealership where you would most likely just be doing grunt work. His # is 212-585-1100.
