Anyone had experience of them? Sympathetic servicing of 156 required.

My 156 came from them a few years ago & was generally happy with them as a company. Their prep wasn't bad. Didn't have any further servicing done by them as they were too far away.

I called their sales team and they were a little rude, I was looking to confirm their own service stamps in a car I was looking at privately and they then started to quiz me as to why I wasn't buying a car from them!.

Otherwise they have a decent reputation, never been known as the best value but certainly know their stuff.

Have you also tried www.autolusso.co.uk? They have a great rep for value/service, as do www.alfaworkshop.co.uk

Volces of London sell a lot of cars in general. I haven't had anyone say anything bad about their selling services but on the other hand have never heard anyone mention about their servicing/aftercare service.

Depending where you are in London, Sunnyside Garage in Chadwell Heath (Romford way) are very good. They look after my 156 and have always been spot on. Loan cars available too. I would happily recommend them.

I bought the GT from there last year. Although I have never booked in for a service, before picking up the car they changed the brakes, front tyres, sorted the tracking etc, as a gesture of goodwill. They seemed to have done a very good job. Car still going very nicely, although the airbag light did throw a bit of a spaz. They had no quibbles at looking at it free of charge, but when the day came to drop it in, I was pretty ill, and had to cancel! Hope to give them a bell soon, and may also get some general servicing bits done whilst there.

I have also used Autolusso (for major service on belts etc), and they were great. They are geographically closer to me, hence I used them. I think they have recently moved from Edlesborough to Houghton Regis.

Used them for a service on my 156 before I sold it - thought they did a decent job at a fair price. I'd use them again if I had another Alfa.

+1 for Sunnyside, they look after mine too.

Alfaman in North London did a fantastic job on my spider. Just don't go for the crappy vented disks they offer - had to be replaced 6 months later for the original flat ones. V honest too.
