They used to be known as 'Boxer Cars' and were set up by 'Nick & Pete' both ex-Alfa trained mechanics. They were the only alternative to the main dealer in Shepperton 15 years ago, then approx. 7 years ago, they changed the company name so they could advertise using the initials BMW - and guess what they specialise in now? Shame on them. <br /> <br />I still find when I collect my car after repair/MOT that the mileage is 15 - 25 miles higher than when it was dropped off. They always 'go for a drive' just for old times sake. Mine's the only 33 they look after now and one of only a hand full of Alfa's that they take care of. If anyone's interested in their details, send a pm and I'll pass on their number.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subRed/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>paulhide</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subRed/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Wed Feb 07, 2007 1:47 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">All you have to do is have five 33s.
