Alfa dealers/specialists in NE

[britten_mark]

Can anybody recommend a good Alfa specialist in Tyne and Wear, or indeed confirm whether I need one??? I'm looking at Sportwagons between 1 and 3 years old.

Haven't heard much positive about any of the usual suspects (Benfield/Lyles), Reg Vardy's at Sunderland seem friendly, sales wise at least, but I hardly ever see any cars there! If it wasn't for the sign you'd think it was just a Fiat outfit.

Is there ANYTHING special about Alfas as I am perfectly happy with a local independant bloke who has never ripped me off. I see from some of the car adverts it says things like "has the all-important Alfa Service History" etc etc). Disregarding resale just how importatnt is it?

Also, is there any problem with the warranty on a 1 year old car if I go independant?

Stay away from Vardy's they are useless.
Lyles are very good for both sales and aftersales but for servicing Alfatech in Whitley bay are excellent on price.
