Where to Service Your Ferrari SF90 Spider? | GVE London – Blog

The Ferrari SF90 is a historical milestone for the brand, being their very first plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), featuring all-wheel drive and continuing the company’s renowned performance heritage. This makes it sound like the car is extremely complex, which means you’ll be running into the problem of servicing it. That’s right, let’s talk about the less glamorous aspect of owning a  £400,000+ hybrid supercar.

Let’s talk about how to keep your SF90 Spider in top form.

Start with the Basics: What Does SF90 Spider Maintenance Look Like?

If you buy a new SF90, Ferrari has been generous enough to include a 7-year Genuine Maintenance Programme. That’s right. Seven years of annual scheduled servicing included in the price when you buy new.

Each year, you’ll get the essentials:

• Oil and filter changes
• Brake fluid refresh
• Cabin air filter swap
• Thorough inspections from bumper to bumper

And once you hit four years or around 60350 kms, spark plugs, auxiliary belts, and more in-depth bits get replaced. Even better, this plan stays with the car if you sell it, which can really help with resale value later on. However, realistically, supercars do not see those numbers.

Where Should You Actually Service Your Ferrari SF90 Spider?

You’ve got two options: go through Ferrari themselves, or go independent with someone who truly knows what they’re doing. Going to Ferrari can seem like a no-brainer. They made it, they can fix. Right? Right. However, get ready for a massive bill with each service; the overheads can catch you by surprise. 

Alternatives: Independent Specialists 

If your SF90 is out of the 7-year plan or you’re just done paying Ferrari’s dealer premiums, there are great independent options that can handle SF90 Spider servicing just as well (and sometimes better). For example GVE London. They are a supercar service centre located in West London that sees supercars every day and have a reputation for quality work. Everything from repairs, service to customisations; they’ve got it covered.

Things to Consider Before Booking

Not all service centres are created equal. Whether you’re booking with Ferrari or going independent, here are a few things to check off:

• Are they experienced with hybrid Ferraris? The SF90 Spider isn’t just any Ferrari. That electric motor complicates things. Ask questions.
• Do they use genuine Ferrari parts? Sounds obvious, but it’s worth confirming.
• Will your warranty or maintenance plan stay intact? If your car is still within Ferrari’s coverage, only official centres can maintain the plan.

And don’t be afraid to ask for a breakdown of costs. Transparency is key when you’re dropping thousands on something as basic as a service.

The Bottom Line

Owning an SF90 Spider comes with responsibilities, and regular servicing is right at the top of the list. The good news? Whether you prefer the security of an official Ferrari dealer or the personalised touch of an independent garage, there are excellent service centres across the UK that know exactly how to care for your car. Whatever you do, don’t delay it. The SF90 is a machine built for performance, but only if you treat it like one.
