Late night breakdown in my California – anyone know who's open?
Citát ze zdroje Host dne 29. 8. 2026, 7:40Talk about terrible timing, I was coming back from a late dinner in Dubai last night and my California started acting up around 11 PM, the engine went into limp mode and I had to crawl all the way back to Abu Dhabi at about 40 km/h which was genuinely painful and a bit embarrassing honestly. I managed to get it home but now I’m sitting here this morning trying to figure out what to do because my schedule is absolutely packed this week and I really can’t afford to have the car sitting in a garage for days while they wait for parts or figure out the issue. The thing is, I work nights mostly so my only free time to drop off the car or pick it up is really late or super early in the morning, and most places I’ve called so far operate on that typical 9 to 6 schedule which just doesn’t work for me at all. I remember reading somewhere that there are a few places that understand Ferrari owners have crazy schedules and actually stay open to accommodate that, which would be a lifesaver right now because I’m seriously stressed about getting this sorted. Has anyone come across a 24/7 Ferrari Workshop in Abu Dhabi that actually knows their way around these temperamental Italian engines? I don’t want just anyone touching the car, but I also can’t keep taking days off work just to deal with this, so if someone could point me in the right direction I’d be incredibly grateful.
