Stumbled across a Fiat specialist the other month and ive been having some issues with an oil leak and misfire. Thought id give them a go as they were only 10 mins away.

Anyway the oil leak is fixed and so is misfire. They also adjusted hand brake cable and rear brakes for me without asking (FOC)

Great service and knowledge. They really love the Coop

if your in Somerset area and dont fancy a long trip maybe they can help. They also give hire cars for free if needed

Chaps name is Luis. Might have a word and see if we can get a club discount

What caused the oil leak and the misfire?

This could be very useful for those of us in the south west! Do chase them up about discounts!

I've not had any good experiences with 'local' garages thus far!

Oil leak was the dipstick seal at the bottom, the reason why it was everywhere was due to the fact it was dripping on the driveshaft and going everywhere. My bodge job didnt work.

The misfire was coilpack, they had a few spare sitting around and swapped them over and test drove.

I stumbled across them by accident. did a quick search in google and came across another thread rating them on another site.

Really lucky to of so far found someone with knowledge and good customer service so close

I can also recommend Lui at LB Autos in Somerton. He looked after my Coupe, when I had one, and did a grand job.

Since moving to Somerton a few years back, he has looked after all my cars. His pricing is fair, he's honest, and in my experience, always does a good job.
