Well guys seeing some of the posts I thought it would be useful if we collected together some information on known Alfa dealers/specialists/etc.

If you guys know of any places to go post the details in here (whether good or bad) preferably following this layout :P

This way we can know who to avoid or who to go to! Hopefully this will work

Name:***** Yapps Garages
Location: Llanishen CF14 0YW
Type: Specialist/Servicing
Rating out of 5: only ever used them for parts so far... Rating 4 out of 5... parts can take a while but they usually get the right bit 1st time.
Parts storekeepers very useful and happy to offer advise.

Ive used *****+Yapps a few times for my fiat.

Id give them 4 out of 5. Their work is good, but labour charge is always more than they quote.

Isnt there a garage in Bridgend thats good ?

Waterfall - I think thats the name - Howell will know and have their details

Avia Autos in Bridgend and Bridgend Motor Works or B.M.W. (I think they are called now,) nee-Waterfalls.

hi guys and dolls ,
any more details on the bridgend garage a location would be great if anyone knows. cheers

Hi Vino. Waterfall garage is on Bridgend Industrial Estate. Its only 10 mins. max from the Sarn Services / Maesteg junction. tel: 01656 750750. I had my GT serviced there recently as its regularly given high praise on the AO Forum They did good work and a good price too. As soon as you pull up outside you'll see that they love their Alfas.

Hi
For year's i have travelled to NJS Pershoe for all work i do not do myself Neil and his team are very professional and enthusiastic in their work. Plenty of friendly honest advise and no hidden extras. Well worth the trip for me.

Having said that i have no experience with the other's mentioned in this thread.

I agree with the above post. I went to NJS for the cambelt change on my 147 and the work carried out was 1st class. They will be looking after my alfas for the foreseeable future

Dutton Forshaw are now an official AO dealer. Colchester Avenue, off Newport Road, Cardiff. Also LC Fiat Corporation Road, Newport and Pontnewydd Cwmbran are service providers.

Ive always used LC Motors (cwmbran) for my Alfas from the beginning 156 jts, Stilo Schumacher, 145 qv not had to use them on my GTV only had it 3 months.Francis in parts is good(once u get the humuor And Steve head spanner is really helpfull, have always looked after me

Contact:01446 773768

Type: Family run garage, who do every car out there except the maxda rx8 (but you only ever take that to a dealer)

They have been looking after my alfa for the last 4years, cheap efficent, and you get a landrover defender as a courtesy car which is always fun!

I know LC Motors have been mentioned above, but I'd also recommend their Newport branch (Corporation Road): lcmotors.co.uk

I've just had them do a service and MOT on my GT, for a good price, AND they then proceeded to get AR to fund the replacement for a leaky water pump and associated cambelt etc (http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/gener...lacement.html).

They've been superb for me.
