Hi guys

Sick of people telling me they 'just aren't sure' because they 'just don't see a lot of these anymore '.

Can anyone recommend a garage that knows about our cars near Cambridge? cb8 post code.

many thanks

I used to live in Cambridge and used PowerItalia who are down in Bassildon, Essex
Depending on what you need doing, you could also consider AlfaSport in Sawston although my experience there was somewhat mixed(!)
Hope that helps

Motormech in Brum. Spend the day mooching around and going to the cinema. That's what I used to do when my Coupes went in for work.

Not sure if the little Taboo cinema still there though paper laugh

Its not just Fiat Specialists that can only do a Fiat Coupe. Plenty of very good Alfa independents can do the Coupe as well, for example : http://www.alfaworkshop.co.uk/

Er, Midland Car Services ?

Or a bit further from you maybe, FCSS Malvern?

Pretty much the most expert advice and know-how you'll get.

Yup - Taboo cinema is still there - highly amusing watching their punters walk up and down the street before sneaking in while they think nobody is looking....

Alfashop looked after my Coupe superbly for the year I owned it, including many jobs, big and small.

They looked after Fatash's Coupe too for a year, including a full belt change which was spot on.

We used to drive down to FCSS from Glasgow, wouldn't let anyone else touch the Coupe.

+1 for Motormech. Pauls looked after all my cars for years going back to his old place. Plus you can spend all day in the Bullring with Selfridges literally yards away - just don't take the wife! The new New Street Station complex has just opened as well with John Lewis's and tons of shops / restaurants and the German Christmas market is on at the moment which is the biggest in the country I think. (BTW I have no links to Paul/MMech other than spending alot of money there!) smile Look at it as a day out.
