FERRARI Technician Shares His Day to Day (Toolbox Tour)

Working on amazing cars with amazing tools. Can’t beat it. So much passion for the Ferrari brand, I can see Jerry making it far here. And a Honda guy too! I love it! Thank you SO much Jerry.

Hemostat. Also called a hemostatic clamp; arterial forceps. Anytime you get stitches, always ask the doctor if the hemostats he is using are single use. They always are these days, so ask to take them home with you since they are going to be thrown away anyway. Very handy.

This was really very interesting, fascinating, and cool to watch. Jerry is AWESOME! The amount of thought and care he has for the cars he works on is incredible. Like how careful he is as to not show any "witness" marks on bolts and nuts. It's a whole different world! These car owners are very fortunate to have Jerry as their car's caretaker.

[@WhiteVaille]

Very cool, loved this tour! Seems like a great guy, and I really relate to his story. I'm more keen on Mazda and Honda, but I guess I wouldn't be opposed to working for an ultra luxury brand if ever offered the chance (though I'm more of a Porsche gal, tbh!) Meanwhile, it's been a bit over a decade since I've last been in the auto field professionally. While I've continued to do it as a hobby through that time, I'm finally considering getting back in to the professional side of things. I'm anxious for a multitude of reasons tbh, but regarding tools, I really appreciate the ideas to add to my otherwise somewhat basic collection.

[@WhiteVaille]

Also kind of sad to hear that even this work is flat rate. I'm hoping I can find hourly work here in Detroit. As he said, it's not a super high volume locale, and even if it was, I don't want to have to be in a competitive environment for that gravy work. As well, I don't like having to take shortcuts at the potential expense of my quality of work. I like being (relatively) slow and methodical.

[@jerryf703]

Hey! Don’t let flat rate discourage you! Plenty of entry level positions that start hourly and progress to flat rate. One thing that comes to mind is Porsche’s apprenticeship program that is available at some of the dealers. Give it a shot! Also plenty of independent shops that specialize in euro and I am sure could use good people. Good luck!

[@Runson-Brunson]

Loved it although just improper soldering would change voltage/resistance. Anyone with experience could knock it out.

[@chuggalueroifan]

Whats the name or part number of the magnetic bars in the hutch? I've got an Epiq hutch and I like that a lot, thanks, and great video!

[@jerryf703]

The magnetic bars that hold my long hex/torx sockets are from harbor freight.

[@Omnis2]

Keep a box of latex gloves and use a finger to make a little condom for the RBRT hex sockets. You can do that or use a ziplock bag for some of the bigger stuff. Really comes in handy for bikes with super soft aluminum and/or cosmetic fasteners. No more marring.

[@Toyotatech86]

Would love to work there!

[@ToolBoxTour]

Right?? Such an awesome job

[@vaughnhoplamazian5209]

Great toolbox tour. Where can I find the Ferrari Tech uniform?

[@jerryf703]

I believe you can only get the uniform once you are working at a dealer.

[@davidboone6786]

Being flat rate I'm wondering if being careful of what your doing (taking precautions of damaging parts) as you should to every vehicle lol. Would the book time reflect or would the pay?

[@ToolBoxTour]

That’s actually a fantastic question.

[@jerryf703]

No, we don’t get extra time for being careful, It’s already expected. To be honest it becomes second nature, the tedious, meticulous work ethic is just honed and practiced everyday to the point that you can still get jobs done fast and still have a outstanding care when servicing the car. Although we do get paid as luxury techs so of course it helps.

[@davidboone6786]

@jerryf703 Hey cool deal, I appreciate the insight. Great setup you got bro.

[@samblanche6015]

[@frankaaron5704]

Love the videos. The people you interview are great. But $100,000 for wheel wraps is a lot of money for them to still have air pockets 🤔 maybe I'm just an idiot but that close up of the wheel got me wondering.

[@jerryf703]

The plastic you see on the wheels is a protective film for shipping. This was a brand new car fresh out of the factory. We take the film off as part of the pre delivery process. The carbon is not a wrap, but a fully carbon fiber wheel!

I work with a Ferrari certified Master tech from California over here at Lucid. He went to this location for an interview and he told me this location is a joke. They pay their techs crap compared to what he was making over in Cali, plus he has Lamborgini, Rolls Royce, Maserati, Alfa Romeo and Lexus experience. They're definitely ripping their techs off there with the type of cars they're working on.

[@jerryf703]

Key word is California, They have a state mandated guarantee on hours and also have significant more work load in SOCAL. I do well for myself although who wouldn’t want a raise!
