    I recently purchased F430 F1 and while it has no needs at the moment I would like to form a relationship with a shop or mechanic for when those needs arise. I live about 40 minutes from Houston downtown on I-10 towards Katy.

    I have been researching all over and the prices for labor etc vary a lot. Some people I spoke to are more interested in scaring you first and trying to justify what all they need to do to change something as simple as engine oil. But I am interested in excellent work along with reasonable labor charges and no BS explanations. To the point, honest mechanic preferred.

    Does anyone have any other recommendations for independent shops that specialize in Ferrari's? I would be willing to consider shops in Austin as well if they tick all the boxes.

    Appreciate any advice.
    Thanks
    Abe

    Not Houston, but close. I've not taken any cars to Steve, but I do business with him and he is a stand up guy:

    I think you will get some responses on the F-Chat Texas forum. Sphere comes highly recommended.

    Just move to San Antonio, problem solved. But seriously Steve Castillo is a great mechanic.

    Sphere Motorsports in Houston. Mark the owner as an honest and reasonable guy. He will NEVER recommend services / repairs that you don't need !
