Sleek, stylish, elegant—the Maserati is full-blooded royalty, an Italian masterpiece that reigns in automobile history, from the very first V8-engined 1963 Quattroporte to the latest sixth generation turbocharged 2015 Quattroporte. With its superb design and high-powered performance, it is no wonder that this Maserati requires a great deal of love and affection, just as a luxury car should. Here's how to care for (read: spoil) your Quattroporte the right way:

Whether it is oil change or any other maintenance routine, the Maserati dealership will surely charge more than typical auto repair shops. If you are an inexperienced DIYer, you have no choice but to take your car there; this is the price you have to pay for owning a luxury car. Because they often have special designs and brand new features, Maserati vehicles, such as the Quattroporte, cannot be fixed or maintained just by anyone. This would be the best option so you can avoid wreaking more damage when you take the car to a local shop with poor knowledge on how to fix this vehicle. You may also try bringing your car to specialty auto shops, who might charge lower compared to the dealership.

Tip: Some dealerships may offer free maintenance for the first 50,000 miles of the car to entice clients. Ask your car salesman regarding available offers for Maserati.

Make sure you are updated regarding the bugs and issues with your Maserati, especially those that involve the wiring. Refer to the Technical Service Bulletins related to your car as well as the wiring diagrams to navigate your car's system. Should you see any problem, make sure to repair or replace the broken parts right away to avoid causing damage to other parts.

Use only superior cleaning and car detailing supplies in cleaning and maintaining the interiors and exteriors of your Maserati. With the right products, you could prevent early wear and tear and slow down the value depreciation of your Quattroporte.

Full synthetic oil used for your vehicle lasts for 12,000 miles, which is why Maserati does not require service until then. You have the option to change the oil once it reaches the 10,000-mile mark or a bit earlier, but why spend more when you can wait until the prescribed mark?

You also need to do the following: check your wheel and clean off brake dust regularly to prolong the life of your brakes. Afterwards, maintain the proper tire pressure to experience the best fuel economy, handling, and driving comfort from your Quattroporte. And lastly, check your tread depth. If you are only using the car for racing, then bald and slick tires are the way to go, but if not, then you have to replace them to avoid road accidents and steep fines.
