Alfa service in the Midlands
Hi,

Can anyone recommend an independent Alfa specialist within 50 miles of Birmingham? I have a 1990 33 1.5Ti, all original, one owner and 119000 miles in need of a little TLC.

TIA Nigel

I've never used these people myself , yet , but they seem to have a generally good rep. and when i spoke to them on the phone they were far more clued up than the local main dealer.

Where in Brum are you ?

In Streetly, Sutton Coldfield. I know where Hope is, I was close by only yesterday, but never knew about these people. Thanks.

I'm sure I heard about a garage in Wolverhampton, but I've been unsuccessful in finding them.

Company in Wolverhampton is Wolverhampton Auto Developements (01902 401711) formerly run by a guy called Willie Dick. The guy running the garage now is Willies partner a man called Ade. He has worked for and with Willie for at least probably 20years, man and boy. Willie has been working on Alfa's since gods donkey was young.
Used them for many years. Generally very good.

Alfa Services in Northampton closed down a few years ago. The ex mechanic from there, Andy Blake, now runs his own workshop (01604 635192).
