Lamborghini Servicing Myths That Could Be Costing You Money | GVE London – Blog

Misinformation spreads like wildfire, especially about cars like Lamborghini—vehicles surrounded by immense hype in a world dominated by social media. Myths about their features, servicing hacks, and so-called “specialist knowledge” are everywhere. However, when it comes to something as critical as your vehicle’s servicing, it’s best to ignore these claims, do your own research, and trust those who actually own or work on Lamborghini.

In this blog post, we’ll be debunking some of the biggest Lamborghini servicing myths.

MYTH #1: YOU MUST SERVICE YOUR LAMBORGHINI AT A DEALERSHIP

Official car dealerships want you to believe that only they have the capability and resources to service a Lamborghini. That statement is only half true—while they do have the capability, they aren’t the only ones who can.

Independent specialists now have the same level of technology and experience as dealerships, with many employees at these independent supercar service centres being ex-Lamborghini technicians anyway.

Furthermore, servicing a Lamborghini at an official dealership can be up to 50% more expensive than at a reputable supercar service centre—a 50% price hike for the same service.

MYTH #2: INDEPENDENT GARAGES DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT TOOLS

A common misconception is that only Lamborghini dealerships have access to the software, tools, and parts necessary for servicing. While this was once true, the industry has evolved greatly, and modern independent specialists now have the same level of technology. They even receive parts directly from Lamborghini-approved sources while also having access to a library of aftermarket parts that either match OEM standards or improve performance—often at a much lower price point.

MYTH #3: A LAMBORGHINI SERVICE ALWAYS COSTS A FORTUNE

The logic here isn’t particularly tough to comprehend. Lamborghinis are expensive, so their servicing must be too, right?

Right—but dealerships dramatically inflate the prices, and much of that cost comes down to overhead and branding rather than actual service. Dealerships often have sales targets to meet and may suggest a part replacement or repair even when it’s not required. Since most Lamborghini owners want their cars in perfect condition and might not always have complete knowledge of what their vehicles truly need, they often go along with whatever the dealership recommends.

This issue isn’t prevalent in independent supercar service centres. Unlike dealerships, they aren’t driven by sales targets. Their business model relies on recurring customers and trust, meaning they’re naturally more focused on providing quality service rather than unnecessary upsells.

MYTH #4: DEALERSHIPS OFFER BETTER PARTS & SERVICE AND WON’T VOID MY WARRANTY

This myth contains three claims: dealerships offer better parts, better service, and won’t void your warranty (implying independent garages would). These are false, false, and false.

You see, the government encourages fair competition. Under the Block Exemption Regulation, you can absolutely have your supercar serviced by an independent garage. As long as they follow the provided guidelines—which a supercar service centre like GVE London does by default—your warranty will not be affected.

All reputable independent garages source Lamborghini-approved parts directly from OEM suppliers while also allowing customers to choose between OEM parts or high-quality aftermarket alternatives that are often more affordable.

THE FINAL VERDICT: WHERE SHOULD YOU SERVICE YOUR LAMBORGHINI?

There are no wrong answers here. There is certainly value in both official dealerships and independent garages. However, the monopoly that dealerships once had has disappeared thanks to the emergence of supercar service centres like GVE London, which match the level of quality found at dealerships—in terms of technicians and equipment—all at a much more competitive price.
