Posted this in 'Lets talk Fiat' didn't think first!

I used an AA service Centre for my old Punto when it was out of warranty and they were very good. They all seem to have closed down now and the AA recommend the titled serviced centres.

Are they any good for servicing & repairs?

Thanks

Do not use Nationwide at all, stay clear of them. Past threads reveal why. They have cost me much time and money to my beloved car!.

Try and find a Fiat Specialist, not main dealer.

I always used my local AA service centres too, they were top. Really good service. They did not close down they were taken over by nationwide autocentres. I still take mine to the same AA service centre, because the same people still work their all that happened was they wear green outfits instead of yellow now but everything else is the same. I still think there the best place to take your cars outside of warrenty.

Its about finding a place you can trust, im not saying every one is going to be good, but i know my local one is and it was great under the AA service centre name and with the same people still there its still good under the Nationwide group. I guess i would be wary of the original nationwide autocentre places because they perhaps were never that good to begin. Ask your local place if it was an AA service centre you can usually tell as mine still has the AA stuff for pricing.
