At BLS we still believe in traditional servicing methods and procedures
as opposed to the ‘tick check box’ type now employed
by most main dealers.
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.
