How I can help
Buying an exotic, planning major service, or dealing with a transmission problem? Choose the service that fits your situation, whether you are nearby, elsewhere in the country, or overseas.
01 / PRE-PURCHASE INSPECTIONS
Independent Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Maserati inspections. Understand the condition and concerns before committing to a significant purchase. Nationwide and worldwide travel by arrangement.
02 / MAJOR SERVICE & REPAIR
Clutch replacement, hydraulic repairs, diagnostics, and major service work. Pickup and return transport can be arranged through a shipper I work with.
03 / ACTUATOR REBUILDING
Specialist actuator evaluation and rebuilding for Ferrari F1, Lamborghini E-Gear, and Maserati Cambiocorsa applications. Worldwide mail-in service.
Before you buy / Independent specialist assessment
You would want an independent inspection before purchasing an expensive home. A high-value Ferrari, Lamborghini, or Maserati deserves the same care.
A newer model, low displayed mileage, and beautiful photographs are only part of the picture. My PPI work considers the vehicle’s condition, available history, and diagnostic findings, including concerns about mileage manipulation or blockers where relevant.
Get documented findings you can discuss directly with the specialist who inspected the car. Understand what was checked, what was found, and which concerns deserve attention before you commit.
See my 2021 Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster case study for an example of the work. With your authorization, I can also help discuss findings and negotiate with the seller.
Nationwide and worldwide travel by arrangement. Contact me before committing to a purchase.

Based in Oxford, Maine / Nationwide vehicle service
Bring your Ferrari, Lamborghini, or Maserati to me for major service, repair work, and specialist diagnostics. I work with local owners and customers who transport their vehicles from across the country.
Warning lights, missed shifts, pressure faults, or a problem that returns after previous repairs deserve a structured diagnosis. I look at how the system works together and explain the findings before discussing the next step.
Nationwide service, with pickup and return transport coordination. I can help arrange transport through a shipper I already work with, bringing your vehicle to me for scheduled service and returning it afterward. Contact me to discuss the work, transport quote, scheduling, and delivery arrangements.
A core specialty / Worldwide mail-in service
Actuator work is a central part of my business. I work with Ferrari F1, Lamborghini E-Gear, and Maserati Cambiocorsa systems, helping owners and repair shops address hydraulic and gear-selection problems.
Each rebuild starts with evaluation of the unit and its condition. The goal is to understand the failure, assess what can be reused, and discuss the appropriate repair.
Ship your own actuator for evaluation and rebuilding. Contact me before shipping so we can confirm the application, symptoms, and arrangements.
For owners & repair shops
My work extends well beyond the United States. I have helped clients in Taiwan, Russia, Australia, the United Kingdom, Brazil, and across the U.S., sometimes working through interpreters.
For owners and shops with access to suitable diagnostic equipment, remote consultation can help make sense of symptoms, fault information, and previous repair work.

Meet Craig Waterman
I am an ASE-certified technician and an exotic car owner. My ownership experience includes a 2004 Lamborghini Gallardo with an Underground Racing Stage 3 twin-turbo system, producing 837 wheel horsepower on a Mustang Dyno using high-octane pump gas.
I have also owned Maserati 4200, GranSport, and GranTurismo MC Stradale models. Those experiences shape how I approach reliability, repair decisions, and the real costs of ownership.
My faith in Jesus guides the way I work. I believe honesty, integrity, and craftsmanship matter as much as performance.
Sharing experience since 2016
My first Maserati ownership experience showed me how costly a lack of accurate information and proper guidance can be. That experience motivated me to create this website.
The technical articles here draw on hands-on ownership, diagnostics, and repair work. Start with these guides, or contact me to discuss your own situation.
