My local dealership charged over $800 to change the oil on my 458. This year I changed it myself for about $130. It's a very simple task that just requires hand tools and some basic mechanical abilities.

Those aren't labor rates...those are lawyer rates

Today, Mr Spaghetti marvels over the cost of his replacement marinara, even though the pasta maker warned him of the cost of a good Ragu.

Today, Mr. Spaghetti says it costs 3000 noodles to fill his expensive meatball with 8 jars of Ragu.

The 458 is more difficult than the F430 or 360 because Ferrari decided to NOT include any access holes in the bottom panel. I'm pretty sure that was because they wanted to charge more for the oil changes.

Look into a Quickjack. I love mine. It's hydraulic. It lifts the whole car up 2 feet from the same points as the 2 post lift. It costs $1500, once. It can be moved around and stored in a garage and doesn't have you drilling into the garage floor to bolt it to concrete. The only weaknesses I've found versus a 2 post are are the height and it blocks a little bit of access at the sides - getting a transmission crossmember out/in is a little tricky but can be done.

Mobile 1 is way cheaper at walmart

I would have thought you would take it to Cosmo. Wouldn't his shop be cheaper?

I have 6 exotics and I don’t get paid $150-350/hr in my career. Just changed the oil on my 458 a few days ago for $30 filter, $1.34c crush washers and 10 qts of Amsoil at $80, i treat it like gym day

I'm really surprised you don't have your own mechanics to maintain the car as a secondary job for them.

The 458 definitely needs wheels especially with the speciale front with the stock wheels looks off do some nice wheels !!

If you really want to save on oil change you can get the filter straight from the manufacturer (PURFLUX L267D), it costs 5$ instead of 50$ the only downside is it won't come in fancy Ferrari branded box.

How much is a Ferrari oil change? Rob: 12 minute answer

Rob, I genuinely admire your mindfulness and serenity. There is no need to let a small injustice ruin your mood. Life is good, especially in a Ferrari.

Rob i worked at a BMW main dealer for 19 years i was a M division master tech, it was common knowledge that the workshops pay for the fancy showrooms an pretty receptionist an fancy coffee etc I’m in the uk we dont have ‘ mark up it is what the manufacturer says so all profit comes out of trade ins an work shop /body shop 😊

I don't mind the labor rates, what bugs me is shops charging an hour for a job which literally requires 15-30 minutes of work.

The fact that you have your own ramps baffles me that you just don't do it in house. You could hire a mechanic who also transports your vehicles that way when he isn't fixing, he's driving

I’d be curious to see what cosmos shop charges on this.

What’s the name of the speciale kit on your 458? Love how it changes the look of the vehicle

Hey Rob, you have Montana plates but you're asking NJ to pay for your wheel. That's a little risky isn't it? Won't they find out you aren't paying NJ taxes even though your car is garaged and used in NJ?

Don’t cheap out on oil, you don’t need the exact brand that the manufacturer recommends (as long as it is of the exact same viscosity, with the same additives as the recommended oil), but make sure you buy quality oil. The oil lubricants, cools and cleans (and operates hydraulic things like VVT systems, in some engines), cheap oil usually don’t do a good job at cleaning.

Today, Mr Spaghetti let's is in on the cost of changing the pasta sauce.

My son does repair and maintainece on these level of cars. Some of them have very challenging labor work. You are paying for his knowledge to do the work.

hey Rob do you do online consulting for people trying to learn how to grow a business?

Rob make sure you tell them you avoid paying taxes in NJ by registering your cars in Montana. I'm sure NJ will pay for your wheel then.

4:05 - $28 at Walmart

They shouldn't have charged to labor to replace those bolts if they were already missing. Unless it was an extraction for broken ones since they had to take it down anyway.

Today Mr spaghetti tells us about changing the olive oil on his pasta and how its costs a spicy meatball to do...

I buy that oil at walmart for $28 for 5 qts and when Mobil has a sale you can get 2x 5 qts for like $25 total

Bottom line, Rob's got a screw loose.

Perfect I’d like to rent the car now. I could really see myself curbing those wheels good.

When we gonna see a Hoonigan This vs That with your Corvette against Dahms RX-7?

2:15 I would have been PISSED at the A/C guys for not leveling out those units!! Wow!

Did the oil change on my 575 today. Royal pain in the ass. The worst of it is taking the belly pan off. Not easy without a hoist. 2 oil filters $76. 12 litres Mobil 1 0/W40 $105. Sump gaskets $4. Total $185. 2.5 hours crawling around on my back swearing. Priceless... Can't bring myself to pay exorbitant labor rates for everyday jobs.

I pay about $100-150 for an oil change on a Focus RS and I thought I had it rough. Dealer's are straight up robbing some dudes.

I've seen Carfaxs for Aston Martin's DB9/ Vanquish at quick lube places I wonder how their oil changes work.

The synthetic oil change on my 2007 Grand Marquis cost me $45 Canadian so about $25 US and I supplied the 20 minutes labor myself.

I have tried claims for wheels in Texas. I had too prove they knew the road was bad. As in they had been notified, etc.

Porsche is charging more these days than Ferrari for oil changes, last bill for my GT4 in my area was around $900 for that service. I asked how much would a Cayenne be and the service advisor said it was around the same! I couldn't believe it. I might as well switch to a Ferrari now, at least they're more straight forward in how they allocate cars to customers unlike Porsche's ADM BS when it comes to GT/RS cars.

I have TE37s 9.5” with 225’s on my car. I’ve hit potholes like that and nothing happens. Are forged Ferrari wheels built to a lesser quality than forged Japanese wheels?

Been waiting for a Tavarish collab

I had an oil change and brake fluid flush done on my F430 and it came out as CAD$850 for the oil change (which included a ‘mini inspection’ to try and find more things that needed fixing). Brake fluid was another CAD$300. Total for the day with taxes was CAD$1250 which isn’t horrible. Ferrari guys at sale time DEMAND pristine records from the dealer network or it’s money off - which is part of the game so a few hundred extra to not get screwed over at sale time is worthwhile. Ferrari shop rates here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada are ~$200/hr.

Is that crappy section of road on 9W just north of state line? Will NY state fix that quickly if you report it? I know I've reported the broken pipe on 9W near Rio Vista multiple times and NJ will fix the hole, but the broken pipe means the hole comes back quickly. If an oil change is that expensive, just buy the lift and install it at your house. It doesn't take that many oil changes to pay for the lift. Then you can change the oil on your schedule with no wait.

Wait a minute. If the pan has to come off to do the oil change.. Did I hear that right, they charged labor on the oil change and labor on putting screws in that they had to put in after the oil change anyway?

Dealers are really starting to get a little greedy,, I understand they have to make a profit,BUT I was at Auto Palace to get a cabin air-filter for my Boxster, they didn't have one, but it was like $15,00 I already had it apart and the Porsche dealer was just down the street,,, for a few bucks more, why wait right ?........it was $55,00 !

Only $150/hour? Very surprising. Domestic dealers get more than that.

It was $1,250 at Ferrari of Washington (late March 2023).

Even $200 an hour is a lot. The company I work for does not even charge our engineering hours that high

TougeFest with the Ferrari last weekend i see you Rob parking at the store was a shit show wish i could of got a picture i will be back in the fall hope to see you again

I really like the white/blue stripe on that car, very cool.

yup 300 bucks for my ‘19 ZR1 Vette as well. 1st 3 were free from GM tho. this is my 1st year payin. Thanks GM!

Re the clutch and brake discs of a 458 supposedly designed for the lifespan of the car without needing changed what’s been your experience with the brake discs and the clutch relative to the older models. Regards, John 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

In 2018 the city of Memphis paid almost $1k for two of AMG rims to be fixed plus two run flat tires from pothole damage, but you have to be VERY persistent. 8:57

My indy mechanic in rural Illinois who I trust implicitly to work on my Porsche charges $75 an hour labor lol

Great video ..

So they charged you an hour labor to replace screws they had to remove anyway doing the oil change?

Labor rate at my Ford dealer is more than the labor rate at Rob’s Ferrari dealer

I change the oil on my Lotus. 5 liters of Liqui-Moly $60. Mobil1 filter $15. Total cost $75.

You know exactly why lol the same reason your house is worth more now than it did when you bought it. Inflation especially property value which means the cost of rent goes up for everyone so the overhead cost of labor goes up but I guess if you said that you wouldn’t have anything to complain about.

ProjectFarm compared the top oils, in a showdown, and Mobil1 didn't even make it out of the first round. Amsoil Synthetic and Pennzoil's Synthetic Platinum Supreme were the tops. Mobil1 was tops in the 80s, but they never kept up with advancements.

My guy is 95. Owner operator. Honest trustworthy guy

Do they not do the seven years inclusive service plan the all Ferraris come with in Europe, in America?

Same oil is even cheaper inside Walmart and Costco stores

You don't need a Ferrari to get screwed by dealer rates these days. My mom has a 20' Civic under warranty so she wants it serviced at the dealership. Fair enough. A 10k mile service for oil, oil filter, air filter, and a tire rotation plus a quick inspection ran me 275$. That is highway robbery when the parts cost 50$. It's an hour of work. I will not be taking my car back to the dealership for simple services again. Lesson learned.

Removing and replacing the splash guard should be already figured into the oil change. Extra parts ok.

My local BMW dealer charges $285/hr I can only imagine what the Ferrari dealer charges just down the street.

Drill yourself 3 3” diameter holes where the drain plugs are and snap in some 3” solid rubber body plugs! Just saved yourself a ton of time!

You know why they are charging more? One thing is so they can build they new fancy dealerships. Every bmw one has been remodeled and they are so nice Maybe the cars aren’t breaking as much so they gotta charge a higher rate when they do

I've found that Walmart is the cheapest place to buy oil. They have all of the good brands as well, but it's always a few bucks cheaper than other places like AutoZone.

Can we get a update on student driver

My 2022 F350 was $344 for an oil change. So not a horrible price I guess.

Costs almost a noodles industry. One day we will see "Rob Spaghetti Industries".

I service my 458 myself and drive it frequently. I drilled 3 3" holes so I can get to the drains without removing the under pans. I have 3 black hole plugs that make it look like it came from the factory that way (as it should have). Dramatically reduced the time to change the oil.

Why did they charge you .05¢ for the filter that you supplied ?

What people don’t get us that’s where the majority of the dealers money comes from. Not selling cars but the service dept

in germany peugeot charges like 150€/hour.

Cornelius Would Be Proud.🙌🏼

Today, Mr. spaghetti argues that the spicer the meatballs the more pasta sauce is required!

To me, $500 seems like a bargain. I saw a YT video where some guy reported it costs $17,000 to change the oil on a Bugatti!

I only use Castrol GTX conventional no matter what. It won’t start separating making air bubbles until 11k rpm and still won’t alike a synthetic does. I had bought Suzuki gsxr 1000 new and on first oil change my old man told me to use it because of this and when it comes to engines if he says it then it’s gold. He was right significantly felt more power which I didn’t expect my buddy did same to his 600 same results. But in the site glass after ripping it hard the oil with synthetic oil would have huge bubbles visible all different sizes with the GTX super small bubbles same size across entire site glass. I always ran the oil in everything else my hole life but wasn’t going to on bike glad I did.

Today Mr Spaghetti breaks down reasons spicy sauce is so expensive for his meatballs.

If you can afford to own a Ferrari, then maintenance should be part of that ownership, whatever that cost may be. It is an interesting topic about escalating costs of exotic car ownership. I don't think it's worth it so I ride a bike and I'm a senior citizen. Those exotic cars are very attractive and I can enjoy them vicariously by following KZfaq channels. Owning them seems to be too much of a headache. I can't imagine owning such nice cars in NYC. The roads are crap and there are far too many criminals and scammers. I'm truly happy for those who can afford such nice cars and I wish them the very best. I'm happy riding my bikes to stay in shape and I do my own maintenance which is very inexpensive.

Honestly, US$500-550 for an oil change by a Ferrari dealer is 'ok'. Try paying AU$2500 (US$1700) for an oil change. That's what Bentley used to charge here in Sydney... about 6 years ago. Rolls Royce is even more expensive. Speaking of Rolls, depending on where you live in Sydney, your RR might end up at a BMW dealer for service.

Im sure dealership used sheetrock screws from home depot.

Lmao they charged you to put screws back in that they would of had to put in regardless of doin the oil change? Like I get maybe 30 mins to 45 for searching the part up but 1.5 hours?

Jiffy lube should build oil chnage pit so that Rob spaghetti doesn't have to pay $500 for oil change. It be $29 oil change only using 4 quarts of oil.

Rob - little landscaping 101. That area in between the front walk and the lattice under porch should be landscaped shrubbery and flowers, not grass. And it should wrap all the way around house by A/C units and to back patio. The bottom of your lattice will be green in no time from trimming, and honestly that is stuff you see on a 200k starter home with people cheaping out or not caring. You aint cheap ,you clearly care, and that aint a 200k house! Oh and if you really want to get fancy, you can peel a curved bed off the turn in the path right before the front steps and fade it into where the driveway is so both sides of the walk are landscaped. And then you can put nice lighting too!

Does electric cars have oil to change?

I worked at a dealer. We get paid quarter of an hour for an oil change. So like 4-6$ for the service tech. It's slavery.

a magical tavarish

If they charged you an hr labor to put the bottom panel back on because it had less screws. The first hour should have cost less because there was less screws thus they got it done in less time. lol Be nice if it worked that way. Thanks for sharing!

Just bought 20 🔩 3/8 by 1 inch with lock washers and washers no nuts and it was $65. 🤪

That's why I drive a 2010 Honda crv with 215,000 and a new Honda recall.

I had a oil change today and it cost me $57 full synthetic Walmart.

Im not sure that you CANT do anything about it. Even with shops Ive used for 10+ years, I say "If theres anything else that comes up, aside from what I want done, CALL ME before you do it."

I worked at a Toyota dealer and labor was $100 per hr

I bet you change your own oil = Ferrari voids warranty

didnt you say the undertray had to come off to do the oil change? then why would they charge $150 to do it? They double dipped.
