Servicing Granturismo Sport

[JamieP]

Hi already posted about reliability and seeing as I am bored but also very interested in buying a GT I was wondering how much people pay and the different methods they use to service their GT.
-And where they go

Thanks

Keep it by the book.

You may save a couple of £££ doing it DIY or back-street garage bit you will loose more come selling.

The service book tells you what should be done... but ignore Lamba and carbon canister until they are faulty.

So main dealer always? I’m not so sure that the money when coming to sell will be as much as the money I would save by going to a specialist?

Talk to a few good specialists for advice and then talk to a main dealer that you propose using. That way you can decide whats best for you. Personally, I use a specialist only. But I have a Gransport and its unlikely anyone in our main dealer has ever seen or worked on one.
I dont know where you are based, I use Autoshield Maserati and nobody else. They are in South Manchester - around 5 miles NW of the Airport.

Indeed, let us know where you are and we can suggest a few alternatives.

Yes i think that’s the route I will take. Do you mind saying how much on average you spend on servicing on your gransport ?

Suffolk/Essex border. I believe Grimauldi autosports are respected specialist for Ferrari Maserati but seem quite ‘toppy’

To be clear, MD or Mark Specialist not Bob's Garage located in a shead neae you, or a mate who once worked in the trade.

Personally I have used specialists over MDs aa they care more about your car and business than selling you a new car in 3 years time.

My 4200s and GS was an average of £1k per service over the last 12 years.

Yes I don’t intend to be taking my car/car to be to Bob down the road But yes I was more interested in the prices people pay for their servicing on average and over their ownership.
Cheers

Okay I think that would be quite similar to a GTS I’ve heard around 750-1200 for a specialist 2 year/12k service.

GS is every year GT every 2. But it is a long time between visits so it may be worth spending a little on a health check every second year, esp if you intend to keep.
