				Hi guys,
 
 
Have just moved house and find myself in need of a mechanic to combat some oil fouling in cylinder three.  I had a recommendation from my mechanic in Newcastle, but wondered if anyone can recommend a mechanic who understands Alfa 33s and is accessible from our place in Summer Hill (between Lewisham and Ashfield in the inner west).
 
 
All recommendations gratefully received.
 
 
Cheers,
 
 
Matthew. |

				Hey mate,
 
 
My dad has had about 8 Alfas, and i'm on my 3rd - the guy that services my car has been working on our family's Alfas since he was a 16 year old working in his mum's backyard!
 
 
He does a good job, and isn't to pricey - but most importantly he has a lot of Alfa experience.
 
 
His shop is called "CMN Motors" and it is located on Irene Crescent in West Ryde.
 
 
The guy you want to talk to is Mario - and yep - he's Italian.
 
 
Cheers

				Meoli Motors, Marrickville
 
 
Phone Andrew on 02 9519 8501
 
 
He has been very good to me. He has lots of 2nd hand parts, owns and drives a 33 himself and is a trained Alfa mechanic, and is a nice bloke. |

				| Thanks to the advice here, I took the car to Meoli (see above) and they were fantastic - Andrew is a real enthusiast, has a huge knowledge of Alfas, and doesn't charge for work he can't do.  Also a real gentleman and always happy to chat about things - even put the car back on the hoist to show me something about the rear suspension once! |
