Owning an Alfa Romeo is more about emotion than rationality. It literally makes no financial sense to own an Alfa Romeo; well at least one made (stuck together?) before about 2004. If you are an Alfa owner you just accept that the price of ownership is much more than the windscreen price you paid when you fell in love in the first place. So if you are bitten by the Alfa bug, you need to make friends with people like the chaps at Alfa Aid. Unlike your average motor shop, they won't look at you, point and laugh when you drag your reluctant pride and joy for a service, MOT or a bit of TLC. They understand that you couldn't help buying the car; that once you had the test drive, felt the handling and heard the engine note you were smitten. In fact it's reassuring to hear that they have the Alfa bug much worse than you do. So I have just picked up my 147 following pretty major automotive heart surgery. The guys up there, Adrian and Lee were pretty good prior to me booking the car in they gave me a quote that was 40% less than the local main dealer and they stuck to it. Having said that they also helpfully suggested a few others bits to be done at the same time (while the engine was out!) and made sure I was sitting down when they broke the news about the cost. But now I picked up the car the results are just brilliant quite literally it feels like driving a new car. Yes it was stupid amount to spend on my beloved italian box of mis-connected nuts and bolts but I have now resigned myself to spending the approximate total retail value of my car at least once a year. But hey, this is probably 2 months payments on a new car and a many many times the fun! So in summary, if you have an Alfa Romeo built before 2004, live within 15 miles or so of Maidenhead you really should speak to Alfa Aid before going anywhere else. You will save a little money but learn a lot more about your Alfa especially how to get at least a few more precious months on the road together read more

Alfa Aid at Highway Garage - Auto Repair Near Me - Maidenhead, WNM

I've been taking cars to Alfa Aid for year. Most recently a sports car that needed a full end to end service and polish to sort out scruffy tired paintwork. The reason I keep going back is that they just seem honest, tell me what needs doing and have never played that game where one price is given and then rises without good reason. I also go here as I get chance to realise I do need to buy an Alfa SZ before I die (they always have a handful in the garage as they seem to specialise in the harder cars. read more
