How A Lamborghini Mechanic Ensures Your Supercar’s Excellence

Raunchy mid-engine V12s, scissor doors, and vivid paint options. Few cars can match the presence of a Lamborghini, and owning one is the dream of many car enthusiasts. For those of us fortunate enough to own one, the next question is what can I do to ensure that my Lamborghini remains the pinnacle of supercar excellence? The simple answer is maintenance and preventative care from a certified Lamborghini mechanic.

Importance Of A Lamborghini Specialist

Whether you have a V12 or a V10, a Lamborghini’s engine takes up a large amount of the body, and working on these behemoths of an engine is not for the faint of heart. Many of the service tasks require a significant amount of body panels to be removed, and in some cases, the entire engine itself.

A Lamborghini specialist will have intimate knowledge of how to complete each service item with the minimum amount of disassembly required and how to remove panels without causing any damage.

They will also have access to metric tool sets, specialty Lamborghini tools, and code readers, ensuring every job is done correctly.

Finally, you don’t through all the effort to become a Lamborghini mechanic without having a real ​​​​​​passion for the brand. When choosing someone to work on your car, you want someone who ​​​​​​understands exactly what this car means to you, how special they are, and is usually willing to go that extra mile.

Appropriate Adjustments to Recommended Maintenance Schedules

The best way to keep your Lambo in tip-top shape is to follow the maintenance routine set out by the ​​​​​​people who built the car. A standard service should include an oil and filter change, full inspection, and tire rotation.

Now we understand more than anyone that not all Lambos are owned the same. We’ve seen garage ​​​​​​queen Murcielagos, track-raced Aventadors, and daily driven Huracans with over 100,000 miles. Taking your vehicle to the same mechanic for all its maintenance and repair work allows the mechanic to develop familiarity with the vehicle and adjust the maintenance schedule to suit how you drive your Lambo.

Track used cars might need their oil changed more frequently. Higher mileage and turbocharged cars ​​​​​​often require thicker oil. Your car is an individual and deserves individual treatment.

How To Choose The Right Lamborghini Mechanic

When looking for any repair and service center for your vehicle, Lamborghini or not, look for the ASE- ​​​​​​certified badge. ASE-certified shops only hire technicians who have gone through the training procedures to become ASE-certified technicians, which gives you the piece of mind that a trained professional is working on your vehicle.

The next tool is checking social media and review sites. Reputable shops are more likely to have a ​​​​​​stronger online footprint and community presence than their shadier counterparts. Combine this with ​​​​​​good reviews and you can begin to build an idea of what kind of shop you’re dealing with.

Finally look for a shop that works with premium automotive brands, either as an authorized dealer or ​​​​​​preferred sales partner. Big brands invest a lot into research when choosing who to stock and sell their products, as choosing the wrong partners will negatively reflect on their brand. The more brands willing to work with a shop, the more likely that shop is a solid choice for your Lambo.

Tips To Keep Your Lamborghini In Pristine Condition

While choosing the right mechanic and keeping up with maintenance is one of the best ways to keep ​​​​​​your Lambo race ready, there are a few other tips you can do to maintain your raging bull.

Take Precaution When Storing

There’s nothing wrong with only using your Lamborghini on special occasions, or when the weather is just right. If you’re planning to store your Lambo for any length of time make sure you take the correct ​​​​​​precautions to ensure that it’ll be ready to go when you want to go for a drive.

The first thing to do is invest in a battery tender. This will trickle charge the battery, keeping it at ​​​​​​optimum charge levels and make sure your Lambo starts with zero fuss. The next step is to add a fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank. Fuel stabilizers slow the rate of evaporation and degradation of fuel. If gas is left in the tank for long periods of time it has the potential to turn into a thick resin that blocks injectors, pumps, and fuel lines.

Finally, try to store it with the wheels off the ground. This stops all the weight from sitting on one point ​​​​​​of the tire which can lead to flat spots. If this isn’t possible, use your phone to make reminders to ​​​​​​periodically rotate your wheels to prevent this.

Detailing and Protection

A detail is more than a car wash. A detail is more akin to a restoration, where every nook and cranny is cleaned out, impurities lodged in and damage to the paint caused by general driving are removed and repaired, materials are conditioned treated and the vehicle is taken back to as close to factory fresh as possible, without any bodywork required.

Once this is done, we want to preserve this state and further protect the car from any future sources of harm. There are plenty of products on the market to protect your Lambo’s exterior, from paint ​​​​​​protection films to ceramic coating. Each have their own benefits and drawbacks, and the best option ​​​​​​for you is subjective, however either is better than leaving you vehicle unprotected.

Drive Your Car

The best thing to keep your car in pristine mechanical condition is to take it on a good long drive. There is some truth to the “old Italian tune up” and taking your Lambo for a spirited drive is the best way to clear out the cobwebs, get the lubricants flowing, clear the injectors and prevent moving parts from locking up. Just be sure to let the engine warm up first!
