Does anyone else have workshop recommendations besides EA/AS/AC?

 

Looking at other options as AS/AC are usually swamped.

Really depends on what you need done. General servicing can be done at any workshop but if you have a fault light on - suggest you just bring it to AS early like 8.30. I have never been turned away at that time.

when i was on my 156, i brought it to AutoDynamac seeing quite a few 147/156/159 serviced there. they were generally ok but am not sure if its the same since some mechanics left.  

 

 

AS quoted 1.8-1.9k for clutch for 159..   does this sound right?

Dexter and Ah Sheng from AD left liao. now Dex started his own workshop called Garage Republic and Ah Sheng is his chief mechanic there. Yes, they do a lot of Alfas now.

 

1.8-1.9 sounds about right.

 

i used to pay slightly above 2k at another workshop called Prowerks Garage but i have since switched over to GR.

This is just another unique feature of Alfa ...to give u a 4D experience lol.

 

It is small issue, just need the workshop to tighten it back. I have been a rocking chair on and off.

 

Cheers

Advice

 

1. You like it, buy it.

2. Maintain it like a 50 year old old woman who wants to look 18 again. Go for the best, spare no expense.

3. Don't sell it. Will it away.

4. Read up everything you can from all over the world to learn about this model. It is your duty, not a request.

last day parf - 199798... so cheap drive for 6 months. if u extend her life, probably just spend less than 3-5K to fix the wear/tear matter. at least no leak anywhere as far as i know - EA checklist done in march 10.  anyway, no lemon from me, buy at your own risk.

 

others 07 159 currently selling in sgcarmart  at 25-26k, see pic.
