Alfa 147

Alfa servicing in Reading, Berkshire

Hi Everyone,

I've just bought an Alfa 147 2.0L 2001 with 70K on the clock, so far I'm really enjoying it.
I was wondering if anyone out there could recommend a good garage in the Reading area for maintenance and servicing etc. I have been talking to Whitequays (main dealer) on the Portman Road but they seem really expensive. £291 to replace NFS lower wishbone .
Should I be trying somewhere else?

Cheers:

Don't know about Reading, but for a main dealer I use SGT in Maidenhead area which isn't too far away. They only charge £54 per hour labour I think for Alfas over 3 yrs old, which is cheaper than AlfaAid an independent garage in Taplow.
