Italian Auto Shop - Chicagoland

I figure the brain trust can help with this. My father in law passed away earlier this summer and my mother-in-law asked that I take his car.

So in a couple of weeks, I will have a 2011 Maserati Quattroporte S as an occasional driver/ 3rd car.

Does anyone have a recommendations or experience with independent shops around Chicago that work on the Italians. A quick google search yields a few results, but personal knowledge would be great. I think the car is pretty well sorted, but I don’t know that I want to be taking an 11 year old car to the dealer going forward.

Autosprint is, I think, the best Italian car shop in the Chicago area. They’re on the northwest side of the city, on Addison at Laramie. They work on everything, high and low. I didn’t think they really worked on newer stuff but they actually have a Quattroporte in a photo on their web site so I guess I was wrong. I’ve taken my Fiat there a couple of times over the years for a sort of overview but in general terms they have an excellent reputation.

Don't you just bring Maseratis to the Chrysler dealership?

With all of the globalist crime going on, I'm surprised that any business exists in that commie state. fjb

What a sad and ignorant comment. I think you got lost on the way to OTPR.
