    I bought my 456 from a guy in Victoria, BC

    He mentionned that no one on the island wanted to work on the car because a Ferrari was intimidating. So he had to drive all the way to Vancouver and back each time he needed to fix something which cost him a full day each time so he decided to sell it.

    Thanks for the reply, that is what I will probably end-up doing every time I need service, go to Vancouver and yes it does take a whole day to do that.

    Rudi is renowned for his Gullwing work and other classics, but does he work on modern computerized cars?...

    I was thinking the same thing, however with the new world class race track opening here on Vancouver Island in few months, I hoped that there will be someone who can service Ferraris on the island. I am going to call Rudi and find out if Ferrari is something they deal with.

    Sorry, didn't see a request for ability to work on computerized Ferrari.

    There are several other options but still not sure what you're looking for

    You might find someone who can work on an older Ferrari. But new ones would be harder to find. Victoria is not a big exotic car area. Most of the European cars there are British sports cars (Jaguars), Mercedes, older Volvo's, etc. I would go to Vancouver. While work could be done in Victoria, they don't see many. You'd be paying them to learn how to do things on the car. A Vancouver shop would know the car better and do a faster better job!

    Did you end up finding a mechanic you like over here? I'm in Victoria and contemplating a 458 purchase...
