Hi,

I've always used Motormech for my big work, and 2 yearly check over.
With their closure, i'm in need of a new specialist (belts this year)
I'm based in Leicester but happy to drive.

Joe seems the most likely, but am I missing an alternative option?

Cheers for advice.

Many of us now travel large distances to avail themselves of FCSS services...

And another for FCSS from me.

Power Developments in Essex cut their teeth on, and still do a vast level of work on Fiat Coupes.

And there are a number of Italian focused specialists in Norwich (Alfa car, k performance, fiat albarth specialist and Italiacar in Norwich).

But when he is free- I tend to head to Joe's when possible.

Joe- any room for work this year- email sent to you a little while ago.

Best,
MM

I believe so,

Companies House has them listed as dissolved as a company.

Could definitely do with a specialist in the East Midlands. If you find someone good please let us know.

There's Italia Autos somewhere in Birmingham/West Midlands; the guy that runs it has a YouTube channel and seems to know his stuff but I've not tried them out myself. They had a kind of open day/mini car meet/burger van thing last year which I would have gone along to to check it out but I was on holiday at the time. Maybe they'll do another one this year?...

When you say you need belts doing is that timing belt or the auxillary ones? I did the two aux belts myself on my car, so that's not too bad if you like a bit of DIY. The timing belt is another level though and having a specialist nearby tgat can do that would be great.

Interesting...wasn't that in August 2017 though?

They seem to have a Facebook page though.

What about Auto Sportivo, they do a lot of Coupes and are very good!
