I have just had an awful with experience with D & J Autos in Leighton Buzzard.
They are a Alfa/Fiat specialist, which is why I used them to trade in my GTV for a 5 door 147 (Pregnant wife, doh!).

The car first went back for a Landa Sensor failure, which I diagnosed. I had to constantly ring them, to chase it up, they never returned my calls and were basically useless. After two weeks of driving around in a Fiat Panda I finally got my car back.

Then the rear suspsension arms went, which were fixed OK, but shortly after the front ones went. By this time it was out of warranty, and they only knocked off a very small amount, even though they probably went during the warranty period.

The main problem I had with this garage was their lack of customer service, which is why I went to an independant dealer in the first place.

Avoid at all costs.
