Hi Luke,

There is the run this weekend which starts from Ockham, Surrey as well if you fancy that..

Just thinking do you mind if merge this the other surrey thread otherwise we'll have people replying on on different ones?

[luke shanks]

The pub I have in mind is the one on the road between Dorking and Reigate, with the big car park in front of it on the corner of the old Reigate road name escapes me but i've been there before and it's nice.

Hello,

sorry to deviate but I have recently bought an Alfa 156 and need to get the cam done. Any suggestions of good local Alfa garages??

I live just outside Dorking.

Thanks

All of these are very good :

Bianco
Rusper
MDZ Italtec

[Mr_Caine]

I've used Bianco and Alfa Workshop for Cambelts very happy with both but Bianco seem to be very busy some months.

[Duncan]

Another option is Tony at ALFA ROMEO FIAT AND LANCIA SPECIALIST | ACR AUTOS | EPSOM | SURREY

Not used them myself yet, but a friend who has a Fiat and Lancia is very happy with them

[scunni]

Thanks for all of the garage details everyone - I will start call around....and let you know how they compare on prices

Cheers

Hello All,

So Surrey Cam belt and variator labour price match as follows...(Does not include parts as I have previously bought my own with the intention of fitting them myself...but have been stuck down by an attack of the lazies!)

All seemed quite help full...However didn't not remember to catch if all included vat or not but they are all quite similarly priced on the whole...which was a LOT less than the non-Alfa garages I had called originally

MDZ - £125 (2.5hrs)
Rusper - £192.5 (3.5hrs)
ACR - £200 approx
Bianco - £165 (+vat)
(Not so local to Surrey)
Alfa Workshop - £190

Also try EMC Racing/ Wayne Ellett- 01737 766611 based in Salfords. He isn't yet VAT registered. I have been dealing with him for six years or so. Also, close to me in Coulsdon are DTR Sports 8645 5050- used them for an mot a few months ago and was very impressed. Personally I wouldn't bother with making a final decision on price but base it on who you feel will give you best service and, possibly, who are closest to you. Good luck.
