While it is true that modern cars are much simpler to service, just think back to when we were servicing 105 series Bertone’s, when valve clearances were shimmed, points and timing set and carbs adjusted and balanced, all that work has now disappeared, however the increased sophistication of current models presents new challenges. Our experience shows that there is still a very definite need to carry out preventative maintenance on an annual basis with particular attention to brakes, filters, drive belts etc. We have laid out some costs for servicing and common repairs to the typical 4 cylinder 156/147 range, we are more than happy to quote for any mechanical work required whether for a classic or current model. Please remember when comparing prices to ensure the comparison is like for like i.e. the same amount of work and parts, for instance our cambelt change on a 156 2 litre includes replacement cambelt, balance shaft belt and auxiliary drive belt plus their three relevant tensioners and cambelt idler bearing, not just belt and tensioner as many quote for.
