Re: Independant Fiat Experts Glasgow

Wish there was!! I have used Caruth Autos at Broomhill (Clarence Drive) a few times. They did a cambelt on my Brava for £120ish. I have found them friendly and helpful and never felt ripped off. They used to advertise on Yellow Pages as Fiat and Saab specialist, but not sure if they still do. Good luck.
If anyone else knows of any others, would be good to hear. Maybe there is a market for an Alfa/Fiat specialist in Glasgow - calling all entrepreneurs!

Re: Independant Fiat Experts Glasgow

Sounds promising - I've got an Aprilia as well as a Fiat, so I could be one of your first customers!
