They sure do make great cars, but on the 458 and up do make friends with your dealer. The only way to clear the service engine light on a Ferrari 458 and up is to "pay" your dealer a visit or to go to an independent dealer with a $25,000 aftermarket Leonardo Diagnostic tool. In my market, the Phoenix market, neither of the independent Ferrari shops have these, so the dealer is the only option.

My Mercedes clears "Service A" and "Service B" reminders just fine without a computer, but if you're going to buy a newer Ferrari, your car has to go to the dealer annually to get those service reminders cleared. I hope the revenue is worth it because I find them a major negative -- one which I have avoided BMW's for years because of.

The 458 is a pretty cool car admittedly, but I should have kept the 599. At least I didn't have to pay $165 to have the light cleared on it and waste the hour there and hour back to get the light cleared. Just seems like an annoying revenue source for the dealer. Though if you get a new one, you get 7 years of oil change reminders cleared for free. New is good, old is good -- in the middle seems to be a hassle.

I'm sure someone other than the dealer likes these reminders, but I would appreciate it if there were a way to disable them or clear them manually.

This place sells Ferrari Power warranty and refuse to honor the warranty. Claiming less than a lb on the wheel cause the dynamic of the fluid by increase its temperature. It is weird because you can't even measure the difference or the temperature as it is all in operating zone and the transmission fluid sees the same amount of energy (engine energy). Typical corporate America, screw the consumer when they can to maximize profit. Look at their warranty exclusions, it violates Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act yet they are still using it to deny warranty claims. They have situational ethics. If you are spending money, great, if you want them to cover warranty work, NOPE. Maximize company profit at the expense of the consumers.

Handed over my life savings for a lemon 2017 488 gtb which has experienced 6 different mechanical issues and never made it past 30 days without a breakdown. I received lip service and nothing more. The Ferrari rep flew to Florida to testify against me in the lemon law hearing. Since that day my car has broken down 3 additional times including a complete electrical system failure at 430 am last night
