Customer reviews of True Alfa Italian Sports & Prestige Specialist

By Liam R on 26 February 2018 | Verified purchase

Good to find an Alfa specialist in the north with a trustworthy reputation. Good stock selection. Got a competitive part-ex price for my MiTo on a 159 sportwagon. Vehicle had a few issues (to be expected on an 11 year old car!) which were all pointed out by the dealer and sorted before car was collected. Generous test drive and dealer gladly let me inspect vehicle before going ahead. Seems to be turning over a lot of stock too which is always a good sign. Highly recommend!

Hi Liam, Thanks for your 5 stars and honest review. I am pleased you felt you got a good deal not only on your part exchange but also on the 159 sportwagon you purchased. I am always honest in my appraisal of any of my retail Alfas and always prepare them to a high standard even though as you said we are dealing with vehicles that in some cases are over 10 year old but the 159 is such a timeless shape with a private plate you would never know.It was a pleasure to do business with you and hope the Alfa Sportwagon helps you to carry on with you musical interest and performances. If you should need me in the future i am always on the end of the phone. All the best and happy Alfa. Thanks Matthew

Matthew went out of his way to make sure that my new car was in great working order! made sure I had a 12 month MOT with no advisories and 12-month warranty! I would definitely recommend people to look at his cars as he has made sure that mine is in excellent condition!

Hi Lucas, Thanks for the 5 star review and glad you are enjoying that excellent Type S you purchased. I am happy to have upgraded you to a 12 months warranty and MOT without advisories as you were a very nice young gentleman who was obviously a petrol head just like myself. Nice to meet you,your Grandad and glad you did not have a wasted journey when you first came to view from Buxton. All the best Matthew

Really delighted with the Alfa I recently purchased from True Alfa. Everything about the car was just the way it was described. Matthew was very knowledgable about all things Alfa. He was most helpful and it was very refreshing to deal with someone as honest and straight forward as Matthew. A real pleasure doing business with Tru Alfa. Definitely would recommend.

Hi Paolo, thanks for the great review and 5 stars. I am very happy that your trip from Glasgow after leaving a deposit over the phone before seeing the Alfa was not wasted. I did my upmost to prepare that gorgeous low mileage 159 2.4 Q-Tronic to the best of my ability and glad you are happy with my straight forward honest approach. Great to meet you, your family and i will find a good home for your old 166 that was much loved. Hope to see you again in the future for another upgrade.All the best and happy Alfa Matthew

Hi Gavin, Thanks for the A+ and the 5 star review, i try my upmost to send all my vehicles out to the best of my ability,even though the warranties are included in the sale price i always put the best one i can on through Warranty Wise in your case that was a Gold level warranty.Great to meet you and hope the money you saved helps you get back home soon,if you need me in the future do not hesitate to give me a call. All the best and Happy Alfa Matthew

I didn't buy an Alfa but Matthew seemed to know an awful lot about them having worked on them most of his life. The car I bought was a Honda and Matthew had taken the time to research it and seemed to have a grasp on what to look out for and what might be a difficult job to replace, like the spark plugs. All in all the car runs fine and was in good condition, clean in and out and so far I have no reason to not recommend Matthew should you need to buy a second hand car.

By Jon W on 31 January 2018 | Verified purchase

Firstly I was very pleased with the car I bought. New, clean, MOT and all necessary service work carried out including brakes, cam belt,water pump etc. I should also say it was a pleasure to buy a car from True Alfa as not only was the owner very knowledgeable about Alfas in general he also knew everything there is to know about the 159. The owner is a good guy who clearly takes a lot of pride in what he does. I would certainly buy from True Alfa again.

Hi Jon, Glad you are happy with my detailed preparation of the Sportwagon and the fact you mention i had used quality servicing parts like the Brembo brake discs and pads that were fitted as part of my comprehensive service package. I pride myself on customer service and knowledge of all Alfa Romeo models including the 159.Having told me you have had Alfa's for a while i appreciate your honest feed back about me and my company practice. Thanks Matthew and happy Alfa.

Had a brilliant experience buying a car from True Alfa. Got the perfect car for me at a great price and the customer service was excellent. No nonsense, straight talking, fast and easy transaction. Will definitely buy from here again.

By Gary M on 18 December 2017 | Verified purchase

Car was as described in ad, I was collected from station as arranged. There were a few teething issues as there would be with a 70k Alfa but they were soon sorted. Drove the car to Italy a few weeks later without any issues. Very pleased with the whole experience, car is fabulous. Will offer car back to True Alfa when I come to sell as suggested. Top job!!

Hi Gary, The press release Q4 Sportwagon was to say the least a rare one off, great to here about your road trip to Italy in the Alfa and thanks for the updates and pictures you sent. Easy gentleman to deal with and happy to help with the teething issues when first purchased as i am all about customer service.Thanks for the honest review. Matthew

Bought an Alfa Romeo 147 from true Alfa and couldn't be more happier, from the moment I spoke to True Alfa on the phone I knew this was the car I wanted, I travelled along way to pick it up and was over the moon with deal we had agreed once I saw the car. They were very friendly and helpful. I also received a great price for my car that I traded in. I recommend True Alfa to any one who is looking to buy an Alfa Romeo, Top Notch

Hi Graeme, Very nice 147 Ti with ultra low mileage and great history. Good to here your journey wasn't wasted and that you found my services friendly and helpful. I didn't mess around with servicing before your collection and changed the variator when doing cambelt as requested for your piece of mind with you telling me you had had one fail previously. I am always fair with trade ins and all about customer service. Cheers Matthew and happy Alfa
