Essential Luxury Maintenance
Logbook Servicing :
At Maranello Autos, our logbook servicing strictly follows the manufacturer’s recommended schedules as outlined in your owner’s manual. We use only manufacturer-approved fluids and high-quality parts to ensure your vehicle performs at its best. Regular servicing not only maintains the reliability and performance of your luxury car but also protects its warranty and resale value.
Pre-Purchase Inspections :
Purchasing a luxury vehicle is a significant investment, and a thorough pre-purchase inspection can save you from unexpected surprises. At Maranello Autos, we conduct detailed checks of the mechanical, electrical, and cosmetic condition of the car to ensure you know exactly what you’re buying. For high-end vehicles, unanticipated repair bills can quickly escalate, so identifying potential issues upfront can save you thousands in future costs. With our expertise, you can make a confident, informed decision about your next purchase.
Brakes, Suspension, and Steering Maintenance :
Brakes, suspension, and steering are essential systems that directly impact the safety, performance, and handling of your vehicle. At Maranello Autos, we offer expert maintenance and repairs, including brake replacements, suspension diagnostics, and steering component servicing such as steering rack rebuilds. For precise wheel alignments, we work closely with trusted partner businesses who specialise in achieving the highest level of accuracy and care. Regular maintenance of these systems ensures a safer, smoother driving experience and helps preserve the integrity of your high-performance car.
Tyre Replacement :
Your tyres are the only contact between your car and the road, making their condition crucial for safety and performance. At Maranello Autos, we thoroughly inspect your tyres for wear, damage, and proper inflation to ensure they meet the demands of your vehicle. When replacements are needed, we work closely with trusted partners to supply and fit manufacturer-recommended tyres, including premium brands like Pirelli, Michelin, and Bridgestone. By maintaining the right tyres, you’ll experience better handling, improved efficiency, and the confidence of knowing your car is equipped to perform as intended.
Air-Conditioning Maintenance :
A well-maintained air-conditioning system is essential for comfort, especially in high-performance and luxury vehicles. At Maranello Autos, we provide comprehensive air-conditioning services, including system inspections, refrigerant regassing, and leak detection. Regular maintenance ensures your system operates efficiently, delivers optimal cooling, and prevents costly component failures. Whether it’s addressing weak airflow or restoring full functionality, our expertise keeps your air-conditioning system performing as it should, ensuring a comfortable drive in any climate.
Clutch and F1 Transmission Maintenance :
For vehicles equipped with advanced clutches and F1-style transmissions, precise maintenance is essential to ensure smooth operation and longevity. At Maranello Autos, we specialise in comprehensive checks, including critical values like clutch wear, point of initial slip (PIS), actuator entering, and hydraulic circuit pressure. Monitoring and adjusting these parameters helps prevent costly failures and ensures optimal shifting performance. With our expertise and advanced diagnostic tools, we’ll keep your transmission operating at peak efficiency, preserving both reliability and driving enjoyment.
Ferrari Timing Systems :
Maintaining precise timing and performance is essential for your Ferrari’s engine. At Maranello Autos, we specialise in intricate procedures such as timing belt replacements, camshaft degreeing, and valve clearance adjustments. For older Ferrari models that require engine-out servicing to perform these tasks, our workshop is fully equipped to carry out the work with efficiency and care.
On models like the Ferrari 360, we utilise access through the rear firewall to degree the camshafts with precision. Using a belt frequency tension meter, we tension timing belts in accordance with manufacturer-recommended specifications, further refined by our extensive experience. These meticulous procedures ensure your Ferrari’s engine operates at peak performance and reliability, preserving the legacy of engineering excellence it represents.
For later models equipped with timing chains, regular maintenance may be less frequent, but we are fully prepared to replace and degree the chains should any issues arise in the timing system, ensuring the continued reliability and performance of your vehicle.
Bosch K-Jetronic Fuel Systems :
The Bosch K-Jetronic mechanical continuous injection system is a hallmark of precision engineering found in many classic European cars. At Maranello Autos, we specialise in the maintenance, repair, and rebuilding of these intricate systems to ensure optimal performance and reliability. Our services include cleaning and restoring injectors, addressing fuel distributor and warm-up regulator issues, and replacing and/or rebuilding worn components with high-quality parts.
To fine-tune the air-fuel ratio, we utilise a 4-Gas Analyser, allowing us to achieve the perfect balance for efficiency, performance, and emissions. With our expertise, your K-Jetronic system will operate as intended, preserving the character and drivability of your classic vehicle.
