Alfa servicing near Camberley / Surrey?

[davek_964]

I seem to be getting closer to making a decision about buying an Alfa Spider - there is a car I've seen which I like and it's very very tempting.

If I did buy it, it needs a service - are there any good specialists close to Camberley (M3 J4)? It's a 2006 model, so I'm looking for good indy, nothing dealer.

Alfanatic in fleet are still going I think

Thanks for both suggestions. I work in Fleet, so that would be very handy!

ETA : Went to see them. Really nice helpful guy I spoke to.

He assured me that the spider roof is very good and doesn't leak. Obviously they can break, but the car I'm looking at has just had the roof fixed.
Service ~£250 a year.
Timing chain ~£1500 if it suffers the stretched problem.
Apparently, handbrake cable is the other issue they can have, and due to the design that's 4 hours labour to sort out!

But in any case, I'm tempted to pull the trigger and if I do - this is where it would get serviced.

Thanks.

Happy days just in time for spring, pictures when it arrives then

Absolutely. I'm going to see the car for the second time tomorrow and will drive it this time.
In theory, even if I like it my intention is to wait until Monday to give common sense a final chance to kick in. In practice, there is a good chance I'll put a deposit down.

Collected last night - is booked into Alfanatic on Friday.
