    I live in Long Island City Queens and am looking for a mechanic with Ferrari experience to service my 328.
    Any recommendations in Manhattan, Queens or Brooklyn area? Thanks.

    Manhattan Motor Cars, they are on 11th & 28th street

    there is one more guy that is not far from them and a bit cheaper, I am sure someone will chime in and give you the name.
    most of us guys on F-chat take our Cars to Arena Motors in NJ, Steve does a Great Job With Ferrari's and Lambo's for a fraction of the Price.

    Yes, check with Arena motors. I know Steve was implementing a pickup/drop-off service but it may not be operational yet.

    Manhattan Motorcars has great techs but I don't think they have a Ferrari tech to work on older-model cars. They're really focused on servicing the cars they sell (Lamborghini, Porsche, Aston, Bentley, Rolls, Spyker, Lotus). Also their labor rate is $160/hr. For new cars under warranty, no other choice.

    But for your 328, take it to Steve @ Arena Motors. He can also come pick it up and drop it off via trailer if you'd like. [email protected] or (201) 288-2003.

    cha ching!! you're correct, the labor rate is $175.00 right now. Thanks for the plug guys but an other F car would not work out well with my techs. Either see steve in NJ or also Bobby Singh on the upper east side. feel free to pm me and i will give you contact info for both.

    Go to Steve at Arena Motors in Hasbrouck Heights. I now bring my 348 there for service. He is the best, awesome prices and a nice guy! And besides, while he is working on your car, you can check out the Gotham's cars.

    Hey! What are you implying, that my car had ever seen the inside of the taxi repair center on 28th? Ha ha... :D

    How are things Emil? Hope all's well.

    Thanks Clyde, as it turns out Pocono Sportscar may be as convenient for me, how do folks compare Pocono with AutoElite?

    Vinny can fix your car with his eyes closed, he is that knowledgeable!
