Easier for bros to help if we know what you drive and also the year.

 

Buying online is a bet, that some swear by though.

Usually u can provide your VIN and they can help check it out ba.

 

Happy hunting!!!

I will not be going back to sportivo again... had my pre handover car check there. Took my money and did not do a good job.... only mention mounting going to give way.... after i took over i need to change coolant system / mounting / drive shaft / solenoid zzz

The advice of a lot of local Alfisti is you have a few options - EA (the dealer), Alfa Sportivo or Alfa City in Sin Ming. Dont touch GR - theyre not Alfa specialists

Pre handover service are crap. What can a workshop do? You walk into a clinic and the doctor say you are fine and the next moment, you get a heart attack. Do you homework. Alfa are not your normal A to B car, they require lots of effort and knowledge to maintain. Drive shaft, coolant hose and engine mount are well documented to give way and need to be replaced. Clutch and sillyspeed if you have 1 will need changes too.

 

Anyway, there are many other workshop that you can go to but not many are as experience as AS and I hope you can find one that suit your liking.

 

Cheers

Hmmm but why is GR servicing my 147GTA better than an Alfa Specialist?

Hahaha some ppl paid $ to replace water pump but it was not replaced.

 

Timing belt gave way at 40k instead of 70k? And the best part the specialist quoted 7k repair without looking at the car.

 

I rather visit a GP than a specialist..

Well if the problem is hidden like clutch and all, I have no issue. The problem is the coolant is already leaking, the engine check light is already on. The catch tray is filled with oil stains. I believed in AS after reading this forum and I followed blindly. I saw the engine check light on and I ask the owner, she say it has been there since day1 and she been driving it. I go ask AS, they say there is no engine check light when inspect... you tell me believe who?

When the New workshop replace my coolant, they show me that it is obviously tampered before. You mean a Alfa SPECIALIST is not able to tell if the system is not original?

 

I have to just Guess you might be misled or mayb you are working with AS lol

My friend told she she doesn't bring her kid to see GPs even for minor ailments, because they are not specialist pediatricians.

 

I smiled at her weird logic.

This type of people are the best to “Robert”. Hahah. You need them to keep the economy running better
