Hi, welcome to my website, my name is Craig Waterman. I am an ASE certified technician. I think before you are done browsing this site you will realize, I own, operate, and work on Exotics they call Lamborghini, Ferrari and Maserati.
I’ve personally owned/operated a 2004 Lamborghini Gallardo (Underground Racing Stage 3 Twin Turbo). You can see that car on a Mustang Dyno, putting down 837hp to the wheels on high octane pump gas below. Additionally I’ve owned an assortment of Maseratis as well, 4200, GranSport, and Maserati Gran Turismo MC Stradale (pronounced Strah-doll-lay)
I specialize in F1 systems, one of the most complex hydraulic electric gear shift systems in the world that the install in Maserati, Ferrari, and Lamborghini (E Gear). Though I own and operate Lamborghini/ Maseratis, you will see in the Gallery of serviced vehicles I am under Ferraris, Audi R8s, and many other vehicles as well.
More About Us:
My goal in this site is to help you to understand the pitfalls of owning these Exotics as my very first Maserati turned into a nightmare for the lack of knowledge. It takes a lot of time and effort to post these subjects, but if you keep coming back you will be able to review the new material. Please note I Post as time allows and this site has been up since 2016.
Please browse this site, ask any questions you may have. If you feel I might be of assistance please Contact me. I am based out of the Boston, MA area.
Finally if you are a shop or everyday person who has a scan tool or has access to one, and you need help let me know. I have helped everyday people and shops take an Exotic from around the globe and gotten them up and running. Some of those locations (some by interpreters) are Taiwan, Russia, Australia, UK, Brazil….and all over the U.S. I have references and testimonials if you’d like as well. My cell number is (781) 402-4013 or email @ craigwaterman11yahoo.com Please add the International prefix for the U.S. if texting or calling from another Country. If I don’t answer leave a voicemail. Please free to text as well if you’d like.
