"Also, a HUGE THANK YOU to Ingo and Joe from @GenauAutoWerks who have done a fantastic job bringing this beautiful 412 to BaT on my behalf and have been wonderful to work with throughout the entire process.
Ingo’s work behind the camera has brought out some of the best 412 pictures I’ve ever seen, highlighting the beauty of Pininfarina’s lines and angles. If you’re thinking about bringing a car to BaT, I can’t recommend @GenauAutoWerks highly enough – they’re great!"
- Ferrari 412 owner
Ingo from @GenauAutoWerks is fantastic and the communication was top-notch throughout the process. He was also kind enough to get the car smogged, which it passed with flying colors. The car was ready for me to pick up, and everything went super smooth. I would absolutely work with @GenauAutoWerks again and I highly recommend them! - Mercedes buyer
