Alfa Dealer ceased Trading.
Whilst wife & daughter were visiting a wedding fayre in Cardiff ( dreaded
date in January ) I decided to visit the Cardiff Alfa Romeo dealer, Victoria Park Motors, to glance over the new Brera having received the promotional pack from the Alfa dealer in Swansea. Thought this was a mistake , now I know it wasn't. The Alfa Dealership run by Victoria Park Motors in Hadfield Road, Cardiff ceased trading on March 31st. So, 2 questions. Does anybody know if Alfa UK are going to appoint a new dealer in Cardiff, capital of Wales? Can anyone recommend an Alfa specialist for servicing etc: in or around Cardiff / South Glamorgan as I don't fancy travelling all the way to Swansea or Newport? -- Paul Woodsford Remove NOSPAM to reply. |

Gah! Some people are so sensitive. Have you ever thought a nice, cuddly web forum would be a better place for you?

Why was you at the local alfa dealer when your daughter is planning for the most important/exciting day of her life. Should you not be with her? second, how often will your car be going in for a service? Once... at most twice a year... for the sake of 12 - 14 miles i couldn't give a ****e !!!! Book half a day off for christ sake... if you can afford the brera, you can afford to take a day of work ! or book it in for a saturday morning... Dom |
