Small Car Services - Fiat, Alfa Romeo and Abarth Specialist Southampton Winchester eastleigh

Exactly what I had in my mind's eye when I decided to go with a 'specialist' instead of my usual main dealer. I'm out of warranty now and prices quotes by main dealer for full service + timing belt/water pump job were eye-watering. Enter, Small Car Services. It's a rustic setting but you are struck by the cleanliness and sense of organisation of both the workshop and the small reception area. The work was done on time to the price quoted and all handled by Dean, the boss, in a friendly and unhurried way which gave me confidence. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this establishment.

Small professional independent garage, very knowledgeable, helpful and consistent, used them on several occasions, routine and emergency, well pleased and I consider they were a lucky find.
Loan cars available as they are not town based.

I've used these guys ever since getting my Panda.
It generally works out cheaper for me to drive half way across the county to them than to use a local garage!!
They also know their way around my little panda and generally know what's up from the an emailed description.
The work I've had done has never been more than I was quoted.
They are efficient and have a very good idea of how long the job will take.
They also have courtesy cars available if needed, which considering they are out the way a bit is very useful.
I usually head into Winchester for a nice day out whilst they do their magic.
I can't recommend these guys enough.
If you're anywhere near the south of England I would look these guys up.
