Ferrari Mailing List: Re: older car servicing

[Dan Warlick (edwf430]

Some of us are actually still "car guys" in the "car business" as opposed to
lazy, greedy  scheisters trying to be bankers. Guys like Wade, Tim Stanford
in FL and JCM performance tend to be wiser than the new car stores in
regards to service. Most of the old school real mechanics are gone or
independent. This leaves us with a lot of young kids that know how to read
computer diagnostics and start changing black boxes. These guys are
inexperienced, glorified parts changers for the most part. I prefer the
mechanic that says "It'll take me half a day to rebuild your alternator"
over the guy that says "Takes two days to the new one...."

I know that, at FoW (DC), they gladly took my friend's 100K mile, '85 QV in 
for service, had it turned around pretty quickly, and their parts prices 
were very competetive with some of the other common "unofficial" sources.



As for sales, well, besides a very nice Dino, the oldest car I've seen there 
recently was a Mondial T Cab, and not-so-recently (about a year or so ago??) 
a late 328GTS.  They do have 355s occassionally, though maybe not currently.



Just one more data point.
