How To Find A Reliable Ferrari Service Specialist

ferrari service

The iconic prancing horse, few brands are as recognizable and demand a following quite like Ferrari. For many, getting the opportunity to own a Ferrari is their life’s dream, and for the lucky few that can, often find themselves asking the same question. “Who do I trust to work on my car?”

In this article, we share with you our tips on how to find a reliable Ferrari service specialist.

Ferrari Service

Word Of Mouth

The best service specialists have work that speaks for itself. The Ferrari community is quick to praise and recommend mechanics that have performed outstanding work on their cars, and even quicker to name and shame those who don’t.

One tip on how to find a good mechanic is to join a Ferrari owners club. South Florida is home to the Ferrari Club of America, Miami Dade Chapter. Not only does a club membership come with some neat benefits, access to events and rallies, it also gives you the opportunity to rub shoulders with other Ferrari enthusiasts and owners, and learn valuable insights into your vehicle.

ASE Certified

If you’re looking for a more regulated measure of how good a shop is outside of the recommendation of your fellow Ferrari owners, your next step is to look for a shop that is ASE Certified.

Not any shop can become ASE certified, and to gain and maintain this certification a service and repair center has to maintain a certain standard of workmanship, as well as employ ASE-certified mechanics technicians..

For a mechanic or technician to become ASE-certified in any specific field they need to have completed two to three years of relative work experience, or one year of experience combined with a recognized automotive repair certificate, and pass an ASE exam. ​​​​​​

What does this mean for you? Well you can take peace in knowing that when you see an ASE badge at the repair shop, you know you are guaranteed the best level of care and repair.​​​​​​

Ferrari Service

Authorized Dealers

Just like you are trying to ensure you find the best technicians to work on your Ferrari, aftermarket parts suppliers are always on the lookout for the best shops to carry their products, as the attitude and ethics of the dealer will directly impact the opinion of their brand.

A shop that is an authorized dealer for known and reputable brands like MichelinBBS, and Brembo lends itself to being more trustworthy than others. Combine that with the fact that dealers will stock parts from their suppliers that you can ensure will be fitted to your Ferrari.

Benefits Of A Ferrari Service Specialist

Every prancing horse model is unique, and every model requires some serious knowledge of their inner workings to ensure services and repairs are completed properly. A Ferrari service specialist will be familiar with how to best approach each service task for each model, the tools, parts, and time required for each, which will ensure your Ferrari is in the shop for as short a period as possible.

They will also order large amounts of necessary service parts and spares to keep on hand, which takes away the stress of having to source parts from Ferrari and wait on their long wait times. A Ferrari Specialist will also know what OEM parts can be cross sourced from other Stelantis Brands, such as Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Masserati and even Dodge.

A Ferrari Specialist Maintains Your Resale Value

The key to maintaining your resale value is meticulous records. When selling (and buying your next) Ferrari look at the service history and records of the vehicle. A car that has been well maintained, by a reputable service center gives the next buyer confidence that the car they’re buying isn’t a complete basketcase under the pretty carbon fiber shell. A buyer will want to know that no major services were missed, that the original or original quality replacement parts were used, and that it was all done in a timeously manner.

A Service Specialist will know what records to keep and how to prepare them for you to ensure your Ferrari is presented accurately when it’s time to evaluate it.
