List of companies who fit the Q2 Differential Upgrade

Here is a list of independent Alfa Garages who can fit the Q2 Differential as an upgrade. The Q2 diff is reviewed independently
here.

Jamie Porter at Alfa Workshop has a guide to what cars can be fitted with the Q2 and a brief overview of how it is fitted, this can be viewed here.

Garages who DO fit the Q2 Differential (in alfabetical order )

A For Alfa - A For Alfa - Buckinghamshire
Alfacare/AH Motorsports - Alfacare/AHM - Hampshire
Alfarama - Alfarama - Middlesex
Alfatecnico - Alfatecnico - Nottinghamshire
Alfatune - Alfatune - Merseyside
Alfa Workshop - The Alfa Workshop - Hertfordshire
Autodelta - Autodelta - Londonshire
Autolusso - Auto Lusso - Bedfordshire
N J S Motor Vehicle Services - N J S - Worcestershire
Peak Alfa - Peak Alfa - Derbyshire
Perseverance Garage nee C W Lear - C W Lear - West Yorkshire (fitted mine )
Waterfall Garage - Unit 3m, Newlands Av, Brackla Ind Est, Bridgend, CF31 2DA - 01656 750750 - South Wales

The garages below have been contacted and declined to fit or it is unknown whether they will fit at this time.

Alfatech - Alfatech - West Yorkshire - Declined to fit

I'll update the list as people add other garages known to fit (or not fit) the Q2.

Additionally if you do go ahead get a Q2 fitted please update the poll found here (Prevelance of Q2 differential).

Sean

Re: List of companies who fit the Q2 Differential Upgrade

What about showing current prices as well? AutoLusso is £500 (£480 for AO club members), and AHM/AlfaCare is £595.. Not sure about Jamie Porter.

Price is open to fluctuation anyway so I'm just getting a list of who can do it then folk can negotiate whatever deal they feel like with whoever they want to get it done by.

I believe the price is more than that too Pud, as that was the price before the increase.
