FERRARI LAFERRARI REPAIR SERVICES
LAFERRARI
In the high-octane world of Ferraris, the LaFerrari stands in a league of its own. It’s not just a car; it’s a roaring masterpiece. But even perfection has its quirks. If you’re one of the lucky few with a LaFerrari in Fremont—or neighboring Newark and Union City—you need more than standard care to keep it roaring at full power. At Fremont Foreign Auto, we’ve seen the ups and downs of this engineering marvel. Here are the top seven issues that LaFerrari owners face—and how we keep them at bay.

1. Hybrid System Blues
The LaFerrari’s hybrid system isn’t your average setup. Released between 2013 and 2016, this beast sports a KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) that pairs a roaring V12 with an electric motor. But with time, that battery system can falter. Reduced electric range? Sluggish performance? Yeah, those batteries take a hit.
At Fremont Foreign Auto, we don’t mess around. Our techs dig deep, running precise diagnostics on every inch of that hybrid system. We test voltage, charge, and cooling temps to get the full picture. And if it’s time for a new battery? Only genuine Ferrari-approved components will do. A hybrid system tune-up every 2-3 years keeps the electric side in sync with the V12, ensuring that both powerhouses deliver.
2. Rough Gear Shifts and Slips
The LaFerrari’s dual-clutch 7-speed transmission is lightning-fast. But fast doesn’t mean bulletproof. Over time, shifts can get choppy, gears might slip, and that warning light might just flicker on, especially in models driven hard from 2013 to 2016.
When gearboxes act up, Fremont Foreign Auto dives in. We inspect the clutch, look for leaks, and test hydraulic pressure. Is it just a fluid issue? We swap it out with factory-approved transmission fluid, bringing back that silky-smooth Ferrari shift. Our approach? Precision checks, authentic parts, and adjustments calibrated for flawless performance.
3. Suspension Stiffness and Knocks
On a LaFerrari, every curve is an invitation, every turn a thrill. But with worn suspension, that thrill turns to thumps. The magnetic dampers and control arms on models from 2014 and 2015, in particular, start to wear, turning smooth rides into jerky ones.
Our team gives your LaFerrari the suspension TLC it deserves. Magnetic dampers, control arms, bushings—if it’s wearing out, we’re on it. Our techs use Ferrari-approved replacements and adjust every setting to perfection. Routine suspension checks and fluid changes keep your Ferrari hugging the road like it’s brand new.
4. Cooling Under Pressure
The LaFerrari’s V12 doesn’t just purr—it roars, running at temperatures that push the cooling system to its limits. Radiator leaks and coolant pump failures crop up, especially in 2014 and 2016 models that have been pushed hard.
Our approach? Pressure tests and targeted inspections. We look at every inch of the cooling system: radiators, pumps, hoses. Weak spots? Gone. Coolant flushes every two years keep that engine purring, ensuring your Ferrari doesn’t overheat when it matters most. At Fremont Foreign Auto, your Ferrari’s cooling system is always top of mind.
5. Brake Fade and Squeaks
LaFerrari’s carbon-ceramic brakes are the stuff of legends, but they don’t last forever. High-speed braking puts them to the test, and over time, they wear down. Squeaks, reduced stopping power, or that unsettling pedal vibration are telltale signs, especially after the 20,000-mile mark on all model years.
Fremont Foreign Auto checks every inch of those brakes. Pads, rotors, calipers—all are measured, analyzed, and, if needed, replaced with Ferrari-certified parts. Carbon-ceramic brakes are delicate; they need an expert’s hand. Routine brake fluid flushes keep everything performing at peak levels.
6. Oil Pressure Dips
The LaFerrari’s high-revving V12 is an oil-guzzling machine. Low oil pressure? That’s a red flag. For models from 2013-2014, oil consumption ramps up as they age. Without the right oil and regular changes, that engine’s life starts to shrink.
Our team at Fremont Foreign Auto uses only Ferrari-recommended oil to ensure every drop counts. We inspect oil pumps and filters, replacing anything that isn’t up to par. For a machine like this, oil changes every 3,000-5,000 miles are non-negotiable. This isn’t just maintenance—it’s engine preservation.
7. Electronic Gremlins
With technology as advanced as the LaFerrari’s, electronics can go rogue. Dash lights flickering, sensors glitching, infotainment hiccups—it’s a complex web, and it’s not always friendly. Models from 2015-2016 are especially prone to these issues.
But we’re not daunted. Fremont Foreign Auto uses Ferrari-grade diagnostics to track down every glitch. From faulty wiring to outdated software, we tackle each issue with precision. If it needs replacing, we use genuine parts. For LaFerrari owners, regular electronic check-ups are key to keeping this high-tech system in line.
