The short answer
Ferrari and Lamborghini owners in Broward have two kinds of service options: the official brand dealers and independent exotic specialists. Prestige Auto Repairs & Tires is an independent specialist with two shops, in Oakland Park and Fort Lauderdale. We service current and classic Ferrari and Lamborghini models, along with McLaren, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Maserati and Aston Martin.
What an independent exotic shop handles
- Annual and interval services. Oil and filters, fluids, belts and inspections to the factory schedule for your model.
- Diagnostics. Model-specific scanning for engine, gearbox, suspension lift and electrical faults, with the readings and photos sent to your phone.
- Gearboxes. Ferrari F1 automated manuals and later dual-clutch units, Lamborghini e-gear and LDF dual-clutch, including clutch wear readings and calibration.
- Brakes. Steel and carbon-ceramic brake inspection and service.
- Suspension and nose lift. Front lift systems, magnetorheological dampers and hydraulic leaks.
- Body, paint and glass. In-house, with help on insurance claims.
- Classic exotics. Carburetor cleaning and tuning, hydraulics and electrical work on vintage Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati models.
When the dealer is the right call
We say this plainly because it is true. If your Ferrari is still inside Ferrari’s maintenance program, the scheduled services it includes are already paid for and belong at the dealer. Factory warranty repairs and recalls are also done by the dealer. Outside those cases, owners choose by trust, convenience and communication, and that is where an independent shop often fits better.

What makes exotic service different
Exotic cars combine low production numbers, tight packaging and model-specific procedures. A Ferrari 360 needs its belts on time no matter how few miles it covers. A Gallardo’s e-gear needs its clutch values read and the system recalibrated after any work. Many jobs on mid-engine cars require removing panels and heat shields first. That is why the shop’s experience with your exact model, its diagnostic tools and its willingness to show you what it found matter more than anything else.
South Florida ownership
Exotics here often sit for weeks between drives, sometimes for whole seasons. Batteries go flat, fuel ages, tires flat-spot and rubber seals dry out in the heat. Salt air near A1A and the Intracoastal corrodes exposed fasteners and connectors. Rental and collection fleets in Fort Lauderdale and Miami add the opposite problem: hard use by many drivers. We see both, and we build service plans around how the car is actually used.
How to start
Walk in at either shop, 8 AM – 7 PM. Oakland Park is open 7 days and Fort Lauderdale Monday to Saturday. You can also request an estimate with photos of a warning message, or call the shop to schedule pickup with our concierge service. Our full exotic car service page lists every brand we work on.
