Can i be rude and ask what sort of money they charged for the suspension / bush work? I'd like to get mine done but if i have to spend more than the car's worth, i'm not so sure...

had quite a lot done on car, not easy to break it down, keith at AI is hands on and gives you a full hours work for his hourly charge, if you are near his workshop its worth phoning him to book it in to check it over for a quote,
He has never changed or charged me for anything i haven't needed doing.

worth a phonecall , cheers paul.

Thanks for this info Paul, my 156 needs 4x front wishbones, a hub, front arb, 2x rear arms, 2x bushes. a lot of work and am finding it a beatch to find somewhere good round here (slough [don't say alfa aid]) so it's good to have a good personal recommendation. Can you tell from your bill what his hourly is?

Cheers

Good to hear Keith is still doing well, I took my first Fiat Coupe to him before moving away from the area about 7 years ago. He was always very good with the Coupe, explained exactly what he'd done and was reasonably priced.
