To keep your Maserati in great shape, visit our Maserati dealership regularly for different types of service. Everything from your tires to your engine needs some TLC now and then, so make sure you visit for periodic, full, and major service.
1. Oil and Filter Change
Oil and oil filter changes are a form of routine maintenance that you need, typically, twice a year. Many vehicles require them every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, but this can vary. Getting an oil change keeps your engine working properly and prevents premature wear and tear, as motor oil lubricates the parts of your engine and stops them from grinding together.
If you go too long without an oil change, you might notice issues like reduced fuel economy, loud engine noises, and poor car performance.
2. Brake Service
Brake service could involve something as simple as a checkup to a more complex repair if there’s something wrong. You routinely need to replace your brake pads and replace your old brake fluid with fresh fluid, and you should also look out for signs that there are problems with your brakes. Signs of brake problems include reduced stopping power, a lack of resistance when you step on the brake pedal, and noises during braking.
If you keep on top of essential brake maintenance, you may reduce the likelihood of problems occurring. For example, by replacing your brake pads regularly, you could prevent them from wearing down completely, which can lead to rotor damage.
3. Tire Maintenance
Tires wear down over time, but you can maximize their lifespan by ensuring they wear down evenly. Getting wheel alignments and tire rotations prevents uneven tread wear. Getting these services also prevents other issues. If your car is out of alignment, then you might have some trouble with your steering. If your tires haven’t been rotated in a while, then rides could become uncomfortable.
4. Transmission Service
Your transmission should be checked regularly. This is typically done during a major service, which is performed every two years. You also need to look out for signs that you need transmission service. When your transmission is faulty, you’ll typically notice problems with your gears. You might struggle to change gears, be unable to change gears, or notice delays before the new gear engages when you change gears.
5. Parts Replacements
Parts of your car can wear down or become damaged over time. If you know you need a new part for your car, then you can order it through our website. If we discover you need a new part, then we can get it and fit it for you. Some parts, such as various filters and old wiring, need to be replaced regularly to avoid performance problems.

Open-Top Elegance: The 2025 Maserati GranCabrio

Maserati has been building luxury four-seat convertibles long enough to know exactly how one should feel. The 2025 Maserati GranCabrio nails the brief: elegant, composed, and quietly charismatic. It’s a proper grand tourer, and in Folgore form, it proves electric convertibles can stir the soul.
Three Powertrain, One Attitude
Two tunes of the twin-turbo Nettuno V6 and a trimotor, fully electric setup make up the lineup. The base V6 is rated for 483 horsepower, 442 pound-feet of torque, a 0-60 time of 3.7 seconds, and a max speed of 188 mph. The Trofeo’s V6 turns it up to 542 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque, slashing 0 to 60 to 3.4 seconds and hitting 196 mph. Both engines feature twin-combustion tech borrowed from Formula 1 race cars.
Then there’s the Folgore. Maserati’s crown jewel claims two big firsts: the first all-electric convertible in the luxury segment and the fastest drop-top on sale. Backed by an 83-kWh battery and three 300-kW permanent magnet motors, this grand tourer delivers a prodigious 751 horsepower, 995 pound-feet of torque, and a 0-60 mph time of just 2.7 seconds. Maserati says the 2025 GranCabrio Folgore can travel up to 229 miles on a single charge.
