    Here's a quiz ..... look at the picture and guess what this service cost? These are all the replaced parts in the picture. Service was done at The Auto Gallery in Los Angeles, an authorized Ferrari dealership.

    I would have guessed $8,500 but since they apparently didn't change two of the plugs I'd have to lower it to $8,480. ;)

    No but you only get one replaced unless you spend over 12k.

    They didn't do the cabin/pollen filter?

    I give up? Hey, how'd you make out with the 550 that inadvertantly did some off roading?

    Since you said L.A., ummmh, 10,500 US dollars.

    Then some KY Jelly for when you grab your ankles.

    OK .... here's the answer ....... $ 5,400.

    Thought it would be fun having everyone guess first. Auto Gallery did a 15k service less a few bits, T-belts with tentioner bearing, cam seals and gaskets, and had them fix the water hose issue under the intake plenum.

    I especially liked the guy who noticed they only returned 10 spark plugs, etc ......

    to answer this is impossible
    not enough info "possibly"

    i.e.
    did they also bleed your brakes ? i don't see the old brake fluid ?
    did they also clean your car while they were at it ?
    did they make any adjustments or checks ?
    did they change your oils ? i don't see left over oil in the pic ?
    etc

    or, are you saying to "guess" simply based on the changing of the above items ?

    was the bill too high in your opinion ? or fair ?

    The bill came in about as expected ....... that being said .... after you've been inducted into the Ferrari Owners club and know what these cars cost to maintain.

    SRFCITY ....... yep ..... I have one of the few road tested "4 wheel drive" Maranello's. Now if I quized everyone on what that fix cost ..... you'd all be off.
