Arranging the work for the F355
For engine work on the 1998 Ferrari F355, a trusted shop does the work and CarmaCars arranges it, with a rental if you need one. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Your F355 and the shop
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car.
Who does what
You approve the shop's quote before any work. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
A car meanwhile
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Between shop visits
Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring.
Before the shop starts
Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour.
Make a request
Send a request with the car and what it needs, and a person replies within one business day.
Request engine repair
Tell us when suits you. A person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one; the shop sets its own price and time.
