Sad, sad loss to the community, I wish all that worked there the best. I have used Autolusso for parts numerous times

 

Surprised by that being such an established specialist, I also didn’t realise the other branches were under different ownership.

 

As far as I am aware they operate like francises. I know for sure that Bmth one is owned by a guy down here

 

......
speaking of which, does anyone know where I can get hold of an updated 3.2 busso radiator?

I know when I still had my gta, people usually got the alu Valeo radiator.....

Such a shame, I visited a couple of times whilst Dan worked there and service was great.

 

Sad. What happened to Ned?

 

Yes, Ned used to be a regular contributor to this forum, did he retire abroad or something?

I didn't realise there were 3 branches, just thought it was 2 - north and south.

What's happened Dan (Pud)?

 

Dan is running the Penrith branch of Autolusso.

 

We know that, he's on here all the time!
I didn't ask ''what's happened to Dan?''

 

My bad... Spending too much time trying to fix the 159 and the Panda at the same time and skim reading posts...

 

Being sensible and keeping his head down. He was last seen an hour ago so still looking in. I imagine there was nothing he could do about it.

 

Autolusso in Bedfordshire (Dunstable / Houghton Regis) have some severe staffing issues, and Ned himself isn't in the best of health at the moment. Not 100% sure what is going to happen with the business in the long run.

Autolusso Penrith & Autolusso Bournemouth are both going concerns and aren't affected by this.

 

Thanks for the update, Dan.

 

I've just got off the phone to Ned after a long and illuminating chat, and am happy to report that Autolusso is NOT closing, and was never going to. Whoever it was who told you this had no authority to do so, and certainly wasn't speaking on behalf of Ned.

He's had some rotten luck with his health lately, as some of you will know, and has had to take time away from the grindstone, but he's back at the reins with some interesting ideas. Autolusso at Houghton Regis is about to go through a minor re-vamp and may close for the whole of August, Italian style, but isn't going anywhere.

No need to look elsewhere for parts, servicing or advice. The company continues, keep an eye on their website for news and keep the faith!

Website says otherwise

 

Something unpleasant happening behind the scenes perhaps. The website is wrong.

 

I see nothing on the website that says they are closing. Perhaps whatever was there has been removed

 

Yes, the message that was there last week has now gone. Weird goings on...

 

Ned has posted on Facebook that (apart from his health problems) he has had some staffing issues and some staff have left - perhaps a disaffected ex-employee put the notice up. As above, Ned says they may be closed for August, but will be back, and are looking for reliable technicians........

 

All the best to Ned. Let's hope he gets on the right track health-wise. Look forward to seeing what he does with the business.
