Reputation of STL Motorsports in St. Louis ?

I do not have personal experience, but am friends with the owner of the dealer. They are a top Ferrari service facility and they have top of the line equipment and many skilled mechanics. They have high standards for who they hire and all feedback I have heard from people has been good. The dealership has around 15 lifts I believe. If you want more info, I would recommend posting this on the STL Spotters' thread because most of STLs owners are on there.

 

A number of the local FCA chapter members use STL Motorsports for their work. I am not hearing any complaints about the quality.

I've heard mixed reviews on them. The last I heard is they were down to only one certified Ferrari mechanic though.

Another option is GLB Motorworks on Big Bend. Talk to Bob, they will give you faster and more affordable service then STL Motorsports. Just don't make your decision on how many lifts a shop has....

 

Tell me more about GLB Motorworks. Where are the located and what does GLB stand for? Do they have SD 2 and 3 readers with Ferrari Software? Can you give me an example of better pricing? If a cluth job is $6000.00 at STL Motorsports what would GLB charge? Thank You, Ray

 

For the newer cars not sure if anyone around here except STL Motorsports has the electronic diagnostic equipment. For the older cars some of the people use:

GLB
Reid Vann
Le Stable - Edwardsville, IL (Prugna's shop)

FWIW, my experiences with Reid Vann were not very good. several callbacks, some hackneyed repairs, etc.

Reid hasn't turned a wench in years and I don't have much faith in their current techs (Parktown had to fix a Reid Vann mistake more than once).

 

Call Bob over at GLB 314-645-4515

He'll be able to give you all of your answers.

 

I have my Mondial t at STL motorsports right now. I dropped it today. I had a door latch issue and I want to try thier general maintenance services.

I'll let you know how my experience goes when its over.... It didnt start all that well as I never got a call back from them to make an appt. The pres of the FCA chapter here, called the service manager's personal cell on Sunday after the parade and I dropped it today. Tim was pleasant and apologetic for the lack of communication.

The jury is still out on the other service advisor mike! I looked at the back of his head the whole time I was there as he was on his computer the whole time.

Not to sound old but it seems there is a general lack of politeness/manners or basic social skills (the "in person" kind / not e-life) in a large segment of younger people these days. Just grumbling ....

I have used GLB in the past and was satisfied with their service.

 

I use GLB all the time - perfection!

I use STL all the time - not so much!

 

There is an early Mondial cab at GLB right now-maybe the one listed on Craigslist awhile back-but maybe a possible new member too?

 

good thing you asked here!!

 

David, sorry for your troubles but it is what it is.

STL Motorsports got the Ferrari Service deal in "hopes" of getting a franchise. obviously that's not in the cards anymore (heck, with all the recent franchise additions they wouldn't have place to put it anyway). I imagine the days of STL Ferrari Service are numbered.

 

This is one of the reasons I recommended GLB. Smaller shop = better communication. Sorry to hear about your bad luck.

 

I wish I understaod the GLB guys better. I hear nice things from a couple people on this board, but they have been so rude to me on 2 separate occasions and so dishonest on pricing of some cars they were selling that it really soured me on them.
I use Reid Vann and really like them a lot for my 355. They consistently go above and beyond for me and though they know Porsche better than Ferrari, I think they're a good choice for everyday matters.

 

I believe the GLB stands for the names of two of the sons, Gary and Bob, and the Dad's first name.
