Can't get the Tipo serviced!

[Hellcat]

Argh! Powerfiat are only servicing Coupes until after the new year

Orrible coupe drivers! They should be off the road in a warm garage during the cold season - not getting serviced!

All my plans destroyed... :bang: Think he'll notice if i just switch over the badges?

Do you use them regularly? If so I'd be having words with the manager.

First time - Normally do all the servicing myself except cambelts. This is the first time I've had a car worth having experts fix. They are a coupe specialist so have to put coupes before others. Even tried the 'but there arn't many left.. it needs attention' but he wasn't swayed

I could leave it until after the new year but I was planning to get a new exhaust, meet a friend from uni, and have a family holiday.

there is a fiat specialist in Hull, i used them to get my manifold done on the coupe. Alan is a really nice guy if you are interested in getting it serviced there i'll post his details.

Or if you dont mind travelling further then motormech is a really decent garage. Me and H take our cars there and Paul is really good and wont screw you over. I would reccomend Paul over any one.

yep,paul is a bit of a guru doing cambelts.nice guy by all accounts.

He is really good! The coupe forum love him.

H has had a fair bit of work done by him, TBH i think paul is the only person that has touched his car.

I'll give paul a ring. If he's a good price then that will save me a journey as my exhaust is being fitted in Birmingham! Powerfiat were quoting £250 all inclusive so could be a hard price to match.

Thanks guys, could save me 16 bent valves!

Edit: Caught him in the pub! Ooops Seemed a nice guy and although he's busy for the next 2 weeks he should be able to fit me in the week after. Will phone him back tomorrow morning for a proper quote. Will reschedule the exhaust for the week begining 5th december... Hang on.. isn't there something else happening in Birmingham that week?

Any names I should drop? haha

He's busy putting some new exhaust valves in my car, and fitting new brakes!
You should drop mine and sammi's names, say we sent you!
Powerfiat will be busy doing Coupes because there are so few trusted Coupe specialists around.

OOOOOOO glad you called him

I will be taking my car next year for a cambelt change :devil:

 

[Hellcat]

I'll be sure to mention you both; "owner of red coupe with dodgy brakes and exhaust valves reccomended you"

What day are people getting down to Birmingham for the Christmas dinner? If there is anyone about friday or during the day sat you might see me driving about looking for places.

Names dropped! What a quote. £215 belt/tensioners/guides/pulleys all inclusive! Fantastic!
