    Does anyone know any good independent places in the Delaware Valley that service Ferraris or Lamborghinis?

    Thanks in advance

    Just had to add.

    I don't see any reason to use an independent when you have Algar right around the corner.

    You get the best factory trained up to date service mechanics there, and while it may cost a little more per hour, I think they're worth the money.

    Also, time saved by a mechanic who doesn't have to spend several hours on a learning curve for a repair sometimes out weighs the "hourly rate savings".

    Just my $.02. And no, I don't work for Algar. :D

    thanks for the info! I am curious, when you have a chance, take a look at eugeniosferrariservice.com. They have 15K/30K & other service quotes for a 355/360. How much more should I expect a dealer like algar to charge, if more at all?

    thanks again!

    I agree on Algar, look in the 550 section, there is the cost of the same service racked up across a batch of shops. Algar is hands down lowest cost, and they do very good work, Michael Bayer

    I understand that the major service for 550, 360, 355, seems to be every 3-5 years depending on the owner's opinion/decision.

    So swapping out all the fluids/lubricants annually will cost how much?
    And the major service every 2-3 years should cost 2-4K?

    Is this a safe assumption?

    Call 'em and ask 'em, they'll give you a range, based on a variety of factors, I'm sure.

    OR call ahead, and meet with the service manager, he's a great guy, no BS, very straight forward.

    I would say its a safe assumption that only a small % of ferraris are eligible for an extended warranty, and I would bet they charge a pretty penny for it too.


    BTW, what is a leakdown and compression test? Have a small idea, can anyone explain?
