Alfa Service
Hi All,
I've just had my 156 Sportswagon 36K service carried out and it appears that Alfa are really trying to improve their aftercare at last. I was sent a nice little Alfa post card confirming that my car was booked for a service. The gave me a litre of Magnatec oil with disposable gloves, hand cleaning wipes and oil filler cardboard tubes ! ( I paid for the oil as part of the service ! ) However it shows that Alfa are trying to improve, and get over these company car drivers who will not buy a bit of oil between services to look after there cars. I also set my heart on a GT that was in the showroom. Now all I have to do is get my partner to just walk past one day when shopping and get her to do the same, but think its her idea to get one ! For info service come in at £450 , which included replacement of veriator ( under warranty except labour ), exhaust manifold bracket £75.00 and some wiper blades. I don't know how that compare on price with other ? Anyway car runs like a dream, well done Northgate at Canterbury for your improvement. Len |

They gave me Castrol Performance for the V6, the specs of which I am not sure of (whether it's semi-synth etc)... Rgds Stuart |

The Alfa side seems to have more fitters and be better organised. Regards Ross 147 1.6 Lusso |

The oil they gave was Magnatec 10 40w.
The latest thing is today I had a call from a customer service company wanting to know my opinions on the service etc that I received to enable Alfa to improve in the future !
