    Hi,

    The last Genuine Maintenance service on my F8 Spider was on 01/15/2024 ... I'm having issues catching 01/15/2025 for the next service (away for business) ... if I miss this date and bring the car by the end of January to the official service, will the yearly service still be for free and covered by Genuine Maintenance program (more than 365 days since last service)? Any real-life experience from cases like this?

    Call your dealer and speak to them. I don't suspect any issues, but we cannot guarantee this. Worst case scenario is you drop the car off before you go and pick it up after you get home

    Dealer probably has a transport service. Check with them.

    Most Ferrari delivered after 2/2019 have predictive maintenance, which while is on or about 12 months, it will ultimately be based on an internal algorithm
    When the green wrench is showing at start up on the display at start up, that is when you want to start the planning process to get it done.
    30 days shouldn't be a problem**, as I have had predictive cars come in months after the green wrench has been on, and performed all services due.
    A reminder, that the green wrench means service is due, WHAT is due will be determined once the car has been scanned in, and Ferrari tells us what to perform.

    ** We have cars coming to us from all over the United States, like you, scheduling is difficult, and Ferrari allows us to do what we can in order to help owners keep their Ferrari's serviced.

    You have a "window of time" to get your car serviced. Call your dealer.

    My F8 is in for its yearly service right now. I made my appointment mid December with in my window of time.

    Hi,

    Thank you all for the responses. I can confirm that I've successfully done the service even if more than 365 days have passed from last service.

    So basically what I saw from notifications of my car:
    - first there is a notification text when you start-up a car saying something like "take the car to the service before x.x.xxxx"
    - after this date passes by, the green wrench shows up, indicating the need of the service

    So basically as you see the green wrench, it's time to take the car to the service. Even if the "interval date" is already due, no problem, service will be done and it's free withing Genuine Maintenance program.

    .. except for the 7th service. That one you need to do well within the ‘free’ window
