Once again, I needed something done last minute and late (I have that problem, I wait till the last min), with a shop full of Ferrari's (Strad was NICE), Eugenio got me taken care of, yet again. Eugenios Ferrari Service = Class act I am grateful to have Eugenio taking care of my car.
Question : what good is a shop that won't take care of a customer (especially a major brown noser like you) in a pinch, IE short notice emergency ? I was up that way with my 250 cab when I thought I had a problem, Eugenio's wouldn't even take the time to look at my car ! Then he says "I don't work on Classic Ferrari's" !!! This just in : Eugenio isn't for everybody, and your obvious butt kissing is flat out embarrassing. I'll continue to take my cars to a mechanic who has been in business longer than Eugenio has been alive, and of course he will always make an exception to help me on short notice, once again what shop won't ???
I don't think you read VTC's post correctly - - Eugenio did in fact, take care of him on a moment's notice - same as he has for me in the past. As for the Eugenio statement "I don't work on Classic Ferraris", why would that be a problem for you? Would you go to your heart surgeon to get a quote on a face lift? BTW, if your phone call to Eugenio contained the same attitude as that which you just threw at VTC, I'm not surprised that you were not invited to the shop. Cheers anyway, Hank
Well, the world needs small minds, hang in there. This website should be called F-Chat Morons. Hank's response was the best ! Hey Hank, you sure you're name isn't Homer, DUH.... Glad to have amused you all, Euginio can blow dog for all I care.
Just dropped my car off this morning at Eugenio's for its 2nd 30k service. Had my last one done by him 7 years ago, and the car never had an issue in 7 years. The only place I go, not matter how far I have to drive. Craig G. Thousand Oaks, CA Image Unavailable, Please Login
Eugenio is a one man shop. What did you expect him to do drop everything and take care of you. As a retired A/P mechanic i can tell you when you get into a complicated job you get into a rhythm that if interupted is hard to get back. You dont interupt Michael Angelo in the middle of painting the Sistine Chapel. If Eugenio moved to the east coast i would have my car shipped back to have him work on it. He's the best, Its that simple. Friends dont let friends take their Ferrari anywhere but Eugenio's
Thanks!!! I have been telling everyone I am a Small Minded moron! But they don't listen or believe me! Maybe now they will
Conti is just mad because his boy Rod Drew (FAI) blew up,,,,,gone, history, hasta la vista sour grapes is all
I can never understand why "adults" need to lash out and get so angry at a statement that's not remotely pointed at them? I guess people can only express their opinion if it agrees with everyone elses?

FAI "Rod Drew" is the shop that did Young Chang's 512TR transmission . . . yeah they did it ..... and they had to redo it 4 times in order to get it right ......to the tune of nearly $20k ..... .....let's start there. we have receipts and there's more
calling Chris Conti ..... where are you ????? come on "internet tough guy" ...... where are you ? forget how to log in ?
Interesting thread indeed, as this thread was meant to show that many people say "thank you" to a very special individual. It seems the initial (recent) stone thrower in this thread, has all of a sudden run out of land from which to grab his "rocks". Eugenio is a breed apart --------------- and yes, there is a family spirit within the walls of the shop. Joe, when you get your first Fcar, call me and I'll give you E's #. I'm quite sure he'll like you. Cheers, Hank
Eugenio is a breed apart --------------- and yes, there is a family spirit within the walls of the shop. +1 See you soon Hank..
it's ok, he'll be along soon internet tough guys never seem to go away because this is all they have to look forward to everyday (sadly) - isn't it true that Rod let all or most of his employees go - isn't it true that FAI's shop was closed for over a month because it was dead slow . . . "i mean dead slow" - isn't it true that he was letting his "girlfriend" run the shop ?? you can't make this shiz up..... a girlfriend running an Fcar shop ... you had to see that to believe it - isn't it true that you have an F430.....that's an SD3 car ....... Rod Drew (FAI) does not have an SD3 tester.....so he has to run over to FOC and beg them to borrow it or he can't see what's wrong...... isn't that true Chris Conti ? there's more ....... ///cough cough\\\ ........ legal problems maybe \\\cough cough///
Just got the 348 back from a major service at Eugenio's. All i can say is WOW! She hasnt run this great since the last time he did the major. No check engine lights, Climate controll panel works perfect. Even fixed the front brake squeal. Im not going to say what he charged me but i have no dout any other service center would have at minimum of 50% to 70% more. Eugenio takes the mystery out of F car ownership. A big thank you for a job well done.
