    If you do not want to use Ferrari of New England, their former service manager, Steve Oldford, is at Aston Martin just north of Boston. They are very Ferrari friendly in the shop, work on a lot of vintage and newer F cars and have a former FoNE master tech working there. They did a very nice job with my F430. They are a dealer for Fabspeed, Capristo, etc.

    Thank you. I went to FNE, they seemed pretty new to me, not about age or anything, the way they talked seem like inexperience. That's why I didn't give it a try.
    I have been to Aston Martin before, they got really nice collection of vintage cars working on.
    I will give them a ring

    ^^^ Great shop. I work down the road from them and they serviced my old 360.

    John was a pleasure to work with, I actually had talked to him 6+ months before I even purchased my car, and although I am pretty young and most would generally just brush me off as a dreamer, John took time out of his day to chat with me about the cars I was considering buying.

    Tim,
    John is old school. He is a true car guy and loves Ferraris, not many like him. Ferraris have been his life on and off the track. And as I have said he is one of a handful of mechanics who grew up with the cars and knows them well.

    I am looking for a local chrome plating shop. I want have my wheels stripped and re-chromed this winter. Are there any local shops that can provide this? I don't want to have to ship my wheels out of state for a re-chrome job.

    Anyone has any updates for for us New Englanders ?

    I just want a wheel alignment, and struggling to find a place to do it.

    I called IFS and they said they will call me back to schedule me, never heard from them. They're obviously not needing more business, and not getting mine.

    Autohaus is charging 700 bucks for a 4 wheel alignment, which I think is highway robbery. I know we are talking about a Ferrari, but cmon. It's 2 hours tops.

    I am so glad that you find $695.00 for a four Wheel geometry alignment is hayway rubbery. Try investing 40k on a alignment machine and pay your teck $35 per hour to see how mutch profit are you getting !! No wonder no one returns your call at least i did anwser your request.
