Hi Geraint, 'The best car in the world' i love it could not agree more and 159 Ti you purchased was a very nice specimen with great history. I like to help at every level and would be great to see you again in the furure when you are thinking of a change. Thanks Matthew and happy Alfa.

Having bought my Alfa 159 2.4 ti from Mathew at tru Alfa I would recommend anyone looking at buying an Alfa does the same. The service and advice was spot on and no nonsense. I have also had brilliant after sales advice and service from Mat and it goes without saying that my next Alfa will be through Tru Alfa.

Mathew was great to deal with he gave me a fair price for my part ex. He also promised that he would have a couple of Dents removed from the car I bought off him, which surprised me as it was an 08 plate car and most other dealers wouldn't have offered. Dents wasn't taken out when car was purchased as his guy was on holiday, however he did pass on my number for his dent man to liase with me direct. His dent man came to my address at a convenient time for me and did the said work at no cost to myself. So Mathew was true to his word which is a rarity with car dealers on the whole. Would I recommend or deal with True alfa again? I wouldn't hesitate going off the experience I had. I also got a decent 6 month warranty included in the price of my purchase which is a massive bonus. Keep up the good work Mathew, you are one of a dying breed

I recently bought a GT Blackline. Matthew was very friendly and knowledgeable. Car came with new cambelt, full service and new brake discs/pads. Excellent aftersale care too (for very minor niggles). I would recommend check out True Alfa. Matthew seems to know where to find the best Alfas.

Hi Paul, The GT Blackline you bought was possibly the cleanest ,lowest mileage GT i have ever sold with a superb history. I pride myself on after sales and glad you were happy with my services with the genuine wiper motor supplied a few months later. Thanks for choosing me for your second Alfa and always try to supply the best i can. Cheers Matthew and happy Alfa

I needed to look further afield to find the Alfa with the spec I was looking for and came across True Alfa. They were very knowledgeable and have a passion for the brand. A new MOT and service including a new timing belt and water pump were included in the price. Thanks for your help!

Hi Steve, I always aim to sell all my Alfas with a no nonsense approach and the 156 you purchased was a very nice example for the age with great mileage and history. Nearly every Alfa i sell leaves with a comprehensive service including new OEM cambelt and waterpump, this just gives peace of mind for your journeys in the Alfa after purchase and for the future with it being one of the main components of any vehicle,plus a fresh MOT without any advisories . Thanks for a positive, honest review and choosing me to buy your first Alfa. Cheers Matthew and happy Alfa

I recently had a successful transaction with 'True Alfa' & not only found him to be an extremely honest & fair person but a man of his word I would most definably recommend both him & his company, many thanks StewartB, from Lincolnshire.

I bought a Mini Clubman and we mentioned that they were known for the timing chain breaking and asked him to check for this. had a phone call to say he heard an ever so faint rumble which would signal the timing chain was on its way out. the mechanic had said to leave it but Matthew told him to change it. This meant that i had to wait a few more days to collect the car but fair enough. I collected the car and was very excited to try it out on the motorway. but an engine light came on and the car went into limp mode. Looking under the bonnet, a boost pipe clip hadn't been tightened back up properly and the pipe slipped down. We managed to fix that ourselves. The car wasn't running or idling properly. I paid £60 diagnostic and the timing was out. RAC towed back to Matthew and a few days later i got it back. Had to have the locking wheel nut posted to me. Car runs fine and is great. Matthew nice honest bloke but his mechanic im not so sure. might be coz he's used to Alfas not Minis.
