Since the demise of the devils spawn ( Reg Vardy ) i've been using Car Care
in Havelock st. and had excellent service at reasonable prices, the guy to
speak to is called Indy, nice chap. Good luck.

Was that for the Big Service or just the
Cambelt change Baz?
Please do remember to come back and tell us
what you had done, price, and service comments.
Very handy for future drivers to look up :-)

156 2.0 TS (2001) - Proteo Rosso

Hi all,
I collected Alfie from Car Care yesterday and apart from the fact that they
were sent the kit for a 2.5 instead of the 2.0 everything was fine. Total
cost for both belts was £247, a bit different from the £600 I was quoted by
two other garages!! Car Care do the Alfa and my lass's Celica as far as
servicing is concerned and I can't fault them.
Hope this is of some use to the group.

My 72K service + belt (147) was £350 in local garage and they've done a
blinding job IMO.

Is that local to me or local to you?

Local to me (W.Somerset) - just another illustration of how much can be
saved. I didn't actually get a quote from the Dealer, but most of the
services have topped that and that's without the belt change....
