16 years and going going.............

Hi All

After 16 years of working in Fiat dealerships, i am moving on to another franchise.

Before i go, i just wanted to tell you all that all you genuine Fiat fans out there, that it has been a pleasure to work with you all, you all understand the cars for what they are and show respect for dealer staff, who mostly do there best to keep you all going.


The cars are still the best in the world and i am sorry i wont be around for the 500 but i'll just have to go buy one.

wishing you all the best of troulbe free ( ) motoring for years to come

take care all

Don't go Beemer, Arrogance is part of the induction training and Fiat fans tend to fail that part

Re: 16 years and going going.............

I used to know a Honda Techy, he said it was great at first, Then he go soooo... bored of just doing sevices! Because they don't break down!
When they had a cambelt to do they got excited! LOL

Good luck though

Re: 16 years and going going.............

i know a few people who work for Honda and have worked for other manufacturers and all say Honda are the best, but yea it must be boring as theyre so reliable so changing oil is the extent of your days :P

Damn good question, worst is easy:-

the worst thing about working for Fiat is motorhome owners

The best thing? two highlights...

1. track day at donnington for stilo launch

2. the day Fiat uk LENT my dealership a coupe demo for customer test drive and we were all allowed a nice calm and steady drive

and so far 3 days into honda, yep servicing is king !! but we did have a car in today NOT for a service, it was for tyre pressure check!!

hard life eh
