[QUOTE="Sewage, post: 2143171, member: 92529"] Depends on your location, use of the vehicle and agreement with the dealership. If you purchase the car from a luxury sales yard then they sometimes use a third party company for car maintenance. (I'm not exactly sure if you want someone other than factory trained tech messing with your car). However if you purchase the car from an authorized Maserati & Ferrari dealership, they generally have a service department attached to the dealership that will take care of all that. Sometimes you may also be able to purchase a maintenance plan from the dealership. Which is basically you paying a set amount for service over a set period (either miles or years), that usually works out to cheaper than just paying every time you take it in. The best thing is to call your local dealerships and mechanic shops and tell them to give a straight quote, email if possible. If they ever tell you that 'it depends' they're full of bs, tell them the tires you want and thats all they need to know to give you a solid quote. If you can get it in an email on their letterhead then you have something to take with you to the dealership who should price match if its lower than theirs. I've seen first hand how people with BMWs will take them to third party mechanics for service an maintenance and end up paying more than they would if they had taken it to the dealership. Remember than dealerships order much larger amounts of parts for your specific brand, therefore they are more likely to get the part required for your car for cheaper than a third party who may have to special order the part at single part cost.
