Autolusso Poole

[Captain Slow]

Thought I'd let you guys know how I'm getting on with these guys.

First impressions are excellent. I was gonna send it to Mike but he didn't want the job, so I contacted Ned from Autolusso and he pointed me in their direction. Lawrence the owner worked for him for 7 years. My car has an alternator failure and Lawrence came out on Saturday with his truck, and loaded the car onto it, whilst being very careful not to hit the front bumper. He then contacted me to let me know he arrived back at the workshop with it all in one piece.

At half 9 I had a call this morning to say they have started work, and that they have noticed a few minor issues such as split cv boot and drive belt that is on its last legs.

So my impression so far is very very good!

Hmm can't blame Mike for not wanting to do it, that is such a pig of a job!

[Captain Slow]

Apparently so.

Had several updates thru the day, which is most excellent.

Will have to pop in and say hello - need an aircon regas anyway I think.

[Visionthing]

Aye need my aircon done too, so good excuse to visit

[Captain Slow]

Well I collected my car today, and I must say that I am more than impressed. Lawrence clearly lives for Alfa's and nothing is too much.

Not only did I have the alternator changed, but also he changed the cam cover gaskets, spark plug gaskets, cv boot and drive belt for a reasonable price, he then also went out his way and fixed several little niggles with the car such as a broken drivers door handle, changed the front badge, reset airbag light, fitted a clip to the key and painted the wheel nuts! All little jobs that I hadn't got round too yet.

He then checked over the car and advised me of a few issues that need looking at, including the fact that the timing has not been set correctly on the previous cambelt change I had done.....

All in all, utterly fantastic service. Seriously , get your cars to this guy, he knows his stuff!

[JR Racing]

S10 GTA, could you please pm me who did you previous cambelt change so I can avoid like the plague!!

Cheers

[markwg]

That's great, just down the road from me!

[trashbat]

Just been to see Lawrence, got my air con regassed but really just spent half the day chatting - very impressed and good prices too. Unfortunately not enough wrong with my car (!) to have any niggles fixed but will definitely be going there again. Much as S10 GTA said really - lives for Alfas!

[Joss]

Good to see him getting good feedback. He's worked hard to get this business started and deserves to have it go well

[Nath316]

ahh you see like I always say

If you give good service you get good back

KArma man, karma

[trashbat]

Mine's in there now - cylinder 1 misfire, hopefully just a coil pack. Glad I went and made friends a few weeks back!

[Joss]

I'm sure loz will do a good job

I've spoken to Lawrence a few times regarding my purchase of a 156 GTA.

He has been really very helpful with things to look out for and always has time to chat. A very nice fella and I look forward to using his services in the future!

[Captain Slow]

Good news. I know its a trek, but you will be looked after.

[JR Racing]

May have to go and check this guy out.

But with Mike literally only 5 mins away it seems madness really going to Poole!

My cambelt change is due in December, may try the new AL or take it back to Mike. Certainly nothing too wrong with the timing as last done by Mike it pulled above factory bhp recently so well chuffed.

Whilst pleasing to hear all the good reports from these folk, it doesn't quite make up for them not replying to my email of last week about getting my gearbox + clutch done

might have to book it in at red's if i dont get a reply soon.....

[Captain Slow]

Try sending it again, maybe it went into a junk folder or something

You can book wherever you like but give Loz a break, they have only been open down there about 3 months and they are flatout and doing a great job, pick the phone up 01202 861699

Thats because he is busy sorting out my new set of injectors and underseal and oil change and......

[trashbat]

Meant to add that after fixing my injector mess, they did a cracking service on my JTS - rad, aux belt, pollen filters (old ones below!), brake fluid and a bunch of other stuff for a very good price, and it may be my imagination or the placebo effect, but it just feels much tighter and composed. Going back at the weekend for some undersealing. Really recommend them, always a pleasure to deal with.

Hi

I am sorry for not replying to your email, I haven't been able to find it in my inbox or junk folders - could you PM me your number or please call me on 01202 861699.

Many thanks

Laurence

[pygmyarr]

I'll do better than that Lawrence, I'll be there in about an hour....

Other post wasn't an arsey one, more of a tongue in cheek kick up the bum...
