Why is an oil and filter service so expensive for a Maserati?

One thing that has always surprised me about our Granturismo is how much the dealer can charge for basic maintenance. If you have seen any of my DIY videos, then you know I don't bring my car in for service and do all the work myself. In this video I want to highlight that doing an oil and filter service on a Granturismo is no different than doing it on your Camry. In fact, it might be easier so why is Maserati charging so much?

Please recycle your old oil. Wal-Mart, Auto-Zone, and Advance Auto will accept your old oil for FREE.

The parts and tools I used can be found below:

I recently found an independent Maserati mechanic who just changed my spark plugs and filters for a fraction of what the dealership was asking. Thanks for another interesting video

I care more about the lift !! Wow I like it

[dgtv]

Very helpful thank you. Can you provide the model # for your lift?

They wanted 89 thousand dollars to do an oil change on my aircraft carrier, I did it myself to save money and I ended up taking out the wrong drain plug……there was a sinking feeling in my stomach when I realized my mistake.

$200 at Daves auto repair near me. Still too much but at least it's not literally a criminal price

It is all about the volume. There are maybe 100 Maserati owner within your area.
Are you still owning B&W 802 and McIntosh system?

Still enjoying the Maserati?

Found your Maserati videos after researching because I’ve been eyeing a 2012 😅

Dan, do the crush gaskets and new plug come with the filters you linked to? If not, where do you get them?

Great, but you've got a lift which sheds a lot of time. The majority of people have to use a floor jack and supports, then crawl under, unfasten bolts and covers awkwardly, crawl back out, etc., etc. That slows the process way down. I suppose if I had an unreliable and maintenance prone car like a Maserati, a lift would be a good investment since I'd be under there a lot. I kid, I kid...not really. ;)

If I where to spend that much money n a Maserati, I’d spend it on the Adult film star that goes by Maserati. 😊
