ChallengeStradale service - North London and Buckinghamshire

[Ffffaster]

Can anyone suggest who to use for Challenge Stradale service and maintenance around North London or Buckinghamshire?

Preferably an independent, but happy to investigate dealers too. My current individual is great. Only charges for work that needs to be done, no frills and very reasonable. Unfortunately, I know he is winding down and becoming harder to book with.

I know its not exactly North London but recommend Autofficina in Ewell. Check them on Instagram @autofficinauk
They specialise in Ferrari service, restorations and bodywork.

Buckinghamshire I suppose the obvious Ferrari specialist is DK Engineering. No idea what their rates are like, I suspect not cheap !

Are you prepared to drive over to Hertford or further out towards Aylesbury up the A41?

[Ffffaster]

Yes, DK are not cheap at all. £90 or something an hour, which is quite expensive compared to what I am getting at the moment. Also, I know they outsource quite a lot of some types of work.

Belleair, yes, could go Hertfordshire for the right person I guess.

What is the average sort of rate an indy charges per hour and what does a normal service costs these days? Not one with belts...

Terry Keys at Silverstone is very approachable. He looked after my car for a period in its life.

Could I have some more detail about Bell and Classic please? Sounds like a real option.

Tim who runs it is former HR Owen Brand Director of all the Ferrari/Maserati dealers.

Head technician is Attilio who is IMO one of the two best Ferrari techs in the UK in terms of knowledge and expertise, he is factory trained at Maranello.
