We all know it costs a lot to own a Ferrari, but $26K for a convertible top is just insane! Luckily I was able to fix it for just $5,000! You've got to see what I did to save my customer over $20K! 🚗 CHECKOUT DANIEL-SAN'S CHANNEL: / @daniel-san464 ➡️ Don't forget to check out ‪@MrsWizardsWays‬

For people who complain about the Car Wizard's prices, THIS is why you PAY a mechanic for his knowledge and expertise. He's not just some dumb grunt with a wrench. Kudos to the Car Wizard to skipping the temptation to enrich himself unnecessarily at the customer's expense, especially someone who owns a high end premium brand like Ferrari. Kudos to the Car Wizard for being top notch all the way.

I remember working in a small used car dealership from 2005-2010. The owner really liked BWM's and Mercedes because it made him feel more important. THe poor souls buying those 5yr+ old European cars and the new owner was completely unaware of the extreme price increase in basic services compared to North American cars. There would be almost 1 per week screaming at him in the office because they needed a $1500 4whl brakejob, oil changed were $200+ and tires on the more high end cars (which required special tires) were crazy expensive. If you don't have a good chunk of FU money, stay away.

My California T has problems with the roof getting stuck when opening or closing (the folding part). It can get stuck in almost any position. Sometimes it's smooth sometimes it's stuck 3-4 times. If I press the button a second time in the right moment it continues, if I do it wrong or wait too long it says it "overheats" and battery needs a full reset. I tried adding some grease into all joints I could find, I tried manually moving it without finding an issue. The garage "fixed" it 3 times. Saying "maybe hydraulic" "maybe sensors" etc. I want to sell the car, do you have an idea what might be the fault ?

My 1965 Mercury Comet Caliente Convertible had one pump, two cylinders and then the arms to work. It was so easy to rebuild the cylinders and pump when they needed it. The arms got snapped once and that was also very easy to replace. I think today's engineers go out of their way to make things more complicated to out do other engineers. So they can brag, "I designed a top that has 5,000 more parts than the last model and can't ever be repaired, only replaced". Then are devastated when someone fixes one instead of replaces it.

There is a part of the video where he was about to show us the brake lights.Then he was using a little flat tool to remove the bolts off of the inside of the trunk. Can someone tell me what that tool is called? I’m doing apartment maintenance and we have the same type of flat bolts on refrigerators when you have to switch the doors around they are a pain the tool I seen will work perfectly just trying to find out the pacific name so I can order it.

My hard top 4x4 95 Geo tracker gets more comments and questions driving around in Los Angeles then my neighbors modern Ferrari. It cost the price of the repair to this Ferrari. It isn’t fast but it doesn’t need roads.
