My mum has been taking her Brera to Northgate for years - she bought it new from them. I've been trying for ages to persuade her to take it to Mobitech. More important now as she is retiring in a couple of weeks. She has told me that they (Mobitech) have told her they can't loan her a car whilst fixing hers. Allegedly they "Don't loan cars to keep their costs low" - so she's about to fork out £600 to get her driveshafts replaced at the dealer. I have nothing against Northgate, but they are expensive - no surprise as they are a dealer.

Do other people on here manage to borrow cars from Mobitech? In which case how are they insured, and are they mechanically safe and sound?

Thanks

Olly.

No, Mobitech don't do loan cars. Just drop it of in the morning, spend the day shopping and pick it up that eve!

Northgate are an excellent dealer who really know their stuff but as you say, are expensive.

I'm looking forwar to using mobitech.
I find Northgate a bit rubbish. Don't like the service manager. I've got a few issues with paint chips and he was really negative about it, 'oh, alfa won't be interested in that' etc etc.
Also. yes, they are a main dealer and they are expensive, even though my car is company owned I'm still going to get mobitech to look after if from now on.
Spoke to them on the phone and they were very helpful

Jamie at Go Italia just outside Maidstone was very good with my last GT, and I'll get him to do the suspension to my new one in the next few weeks.

His website is http://www.go-italia.co.uk/
