Garages, Manchester (Salford)
Hello,
Anyone recommend any decent garages in the manchester area (prefferably anywhere between Salford and Altrincham) that are competent at Alfa service\repairs?
Ta,
CJ

Might be worth a drive over the boarder to Huddersfield. Alfatech are very good.

Re: Garages, Manchester (Salford)
I used Horwich Tuning ( in Horwich ) when my spider was quite ill. They did a really good job. They did their best to fix the parts rather than just fit new ones & were quite happy for me to source the parts from the internet and have them sent to the garage for fitting - they also offered good advice on costs of parts and parts required.
Theres another garage I use in Westhoughton called Southgrove - again they very good and can fix most things - if they can't then they'll recomend Horwich Tuning.

Re: Garages, Manchester (Salford)
Only decent specialist in the area is Alfatune at St Helens, Owner is Gus on 01744 25499. He has forgotten more about alfas than most know.

Re: Garages, Manchester (Salford)
I'm really pleased for you Happy. Especially as it must have been a horrible conclusion when you did the sums and finally realised the Cup had to go. Now it's all positive and you seem made up. |

Re: Garages, Manchester (Salford)
Yup.
It's amazingly fresh considering how long it's been around.
I can see myself in the Atlantico Blue but Lisa's default choice is metallic black (Carbonario?) and that looks too.
