Not sure what’s going on but thought I would seek the insight of those more experienced than me with regards to servicing and repairs of a Gran Turismo.
Finally managed to get my car (2013 GTS) booked in to get Zep’s front brake upgrade fitted. Garage I picked is an Indy about 45 mins up the road from me, and I have used them once before to fix a seat issue and have an X pipe fitted. Not Maserati specialist, but an ex Ferrari tech who has loads of reassuringly expensive cars parked up when I dropped mine off
(FF, Daytona etc). Told it would take 2-3 hours, I elected to go home rather than wait.
Phone call at the end of the day- we can’t bleed the brakes, it won’t be done today. No problems- second day we took it out for a road test but “the brake pedal isn’t right”.
Weekend means no fix but I call them this morning to be told “we think the callipers need a rebuild kit, won’t be today” which has been followed up by “we can’t find the kit and our usual suppliers might have it back in stock at the end of the week”.
I have no way of going down and taking a look for myself, and my paranoia is that something that wasn’t meant to happen has happened. But I might be getting myself worked up over nothing. So- is this par for the course with a 10 year old Italian car or am I right to be worried?
