Lost my local dealer

Just received an email advising me that Startin of Redditch will no longer be Fiat or Abarth dealers with effect from 1 April 2019. Looks like I'll have to go to Johnsons at Solihull or further afield for service etc.

See if Abury Motors have a dealership close to you. They are new to Abarth but not to Fiat. `i`ve used their Walsall branch and found them very good.

Thanks for the tip Neil. As the car is still under warranty I need to use a franchised dealer for warranty/service.

You can use any dealer of garage you like even under warranty as long as they use original parts

I prefer to use the dealer network especially as I don't know of any trusted alternatives locally and for the stamp in the service book. Bought my last Abarth from Research and found them really good- thanks Richard H.

Yes you need to be able to trust a dealer I have used my local dealer for years they looked after my VXT for years and did the first service on my spider so I completely trust them .
