Customer reviews of True Alfa Italian Sports & Prestige Specialist

By Martin B on 16 January 2020 | Verified purchase

Great service from start to finish. The car was serviced and had new cambelt and water pump fitted, as promised. Matthew didn't have time to get the car valeted, but reimbursed me when I got someone to do it locally. He also has a great after sales service and is more than happy to help if there is a problem

Hi Martin, thanks for the 5 star review and 6 months since purchase which is always good to here you are happy with the gorgeous 159 Lusso, you rang me up asking me to source you a good low mileage example and it didn't take me long to find you the right Alfa for you. A lovely low mileage Lusso with a great service history and a very clean example. After a full RAC check , service including new waterpump and cambelt , fresh MOT , i delivered the 159 down to you and you where a pleasure to deal with and expressed how pleased you were. I then did the deal and caught the train home. Keep on having a happy Alfa experience ,all the best and Happy Alfa . Matthew

Quick and simple. Really genuine, however I would have felt a bit better with more appropriate location/environment.

Hi Juliette, thanks for the 4 star and taking the time to leave a review. The Abarth 595 you purchased was a really lovely example , fully loaded with nearly every option from new and a full dealer service history. Did a new genuine Abarth cambelt/waterpump and full Abarth service kit. My premises are not a showroom but I am not a suit and tie guy more of a straight talking down to earth trader but I will soon be moving to bigger and better premises. Great to meet you , you're boy friend and your dad. I'm sure the Abarth will bring you plenty of fun. All the best Matthew True Alfa

Excellent, Mathew is an Alfa expert and an enthusiast, he supplied us with an immaculate 147 and in preparing the car went out of his way to ensure everything was attended to, beyond what he needed to do. Wouldn’t hesitate in buying another car from True Alfa.

Hi Paul, many thanks for the 5 star honest review. Great to meet other like minded Alfistis like you and your wife. The 147 you purchased was a very very clean Mk1 with the iconic 2.0 T-Spark Alfa engine with an ultra low 52000 from new , all the relevant services, books , 2 keys and I did do quite a bit of work to get it on par - complete front suspension replaced,cambelt, balance belt , plugs and full service. The car drove excellent and was in really clean and tidy condition both inside and out. It was great to receive your email saying how happy you both were with your purchase already having 2 classics Alfas and being great fans of the legendary brand. I'm sure we will meet again with you looking for other examples to tuck away for the future. All the best and Happy Alfa . Matthew

Hi Reuben, thanks for taking the time to leave a review it is much appreciated. 5 stars which is always good to know Ive obtained a high standard when supplying a used Alfa. The Alfa 159 you purchased was a lovely clean example with genuine low mileage and a full service history. You did come too see me first but said you had others to look at as you had travelled quite away to view a few in the north west but after another 2 days looking you rang me back wanting to leave a deposit as you said other just were not on the same standard as my example and others were not offering 6 months RAC warranty and comprehensive service , MOT included in the price. I then prepared the 159 for you and you're wife and drove it down to deliver the 159 as you where close to your wife having the baby so wasn't prudent to travel long distances. I enjoyed meeting you both and glad everything went well with the birth. Thanks again all the best , Happy Alfa. Matthew

Hi Kevin, Thanks for the 5 star review much appreciated, glad you found me to be a genuine guy as i strive to be as honest and transparent as possible even with trade in vehicles at the lower end of the price scale, all customers are treated the same no matter how high or low the price of the vehicle. The BMW compact you purchased was indeed a clean and tidy example and still looked the part. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a positive, genuine review. All the best. Matthew

Hi Peter,Thanks for the 5 star review and really glad you where happy with the very nice mk1 156 sportwagon selespeed you purchased,which is a lovely low mileage example with a fantastic service history .I always try my best to be as honest,descriptive and genuine as i can when writing adverts and picturing vehicles for retail. I do sell about 90% of my Alfa's off advert alone without customers actually coming to see them first, which was the same case for yourself.Lovely to meet you and your dog when i dropped it off and thanks for the beers they where much appreciated after my drive. Having spoke to you a few times after you purchase i know you are enjoying the Alfa and did say you wished you had purchased one sooner. As you are aware if you need me in the future for anything please give me a call im always happy to help. All the best and Happy Alfa, Matthew

Beautiful car from a friendly, knowledgeable and totally helpful dealer. True Alfa fans head here!

Hi Claude, Thanks for the 5 star review you are a True Alfisti just like myself born and bread on Alfas for many years, a great person to deal with and a true gentleman.The GT you purchased was a lovely low mileage example with a great service history. Did all the trimmings for you full service,cambelt/waterpump,disc and pads all sorted before your purchase.Traded in your old 156 which i spent some time and money on to bring it back to life as you where looking for something a little more modern and sporty. You had an issue with the clutch and i gladly got the GT recovered free of charge, we replaced the clutch at cost and i fitted you a new door handle whilst it was in free of charge which you were more than happy with. Im sure we will stay in touch and will see you for an MOT and service when due. All the best and Happy Alfa ,Matthew

No nonsense car dealing. I know where I wanted to be, so did Matthew. Two test drives later [one in mine and one in the Saab] we struck a deal. I came away the same day in a beautiful car plus an after care package second to none thrown in. Very satisfied indeed.

Hi Keith, What a great bloke and thanks for the 5 star review. A straight up no non-sense sale. You got a cracking Saab that you had been looking for for some time i gave you the price you wanted on your trade in and the deal was done. Hope you enjoy your summer with the roof down but im sure you will. All the best Matthew

Excellent customer service. Had full service before pick up. Before warranty ran out fixed other little jobs to my satisfaction. Top bloke. Cheers Matt 👍

Hi Daniel , Thanks for the 5 star review and 6 months after your purchase which is always good knowing another great Alfa 159 i have sold is quietening all the doubters and Alfa nay sayers. The 159 you purchased was a lovely facelift example with an ultra low 45000 full service history of course with my usual comprehensive service,MOT and RAC warranty for added piece of mind a couple of new badges and brakes disc/pads . Living local to myself im sure i will see you when you need your next service and MOT as i do with a few other local customers in my area. Thanks for the complements and really chuffed you like and are enjoying your first Alfa experience. All the best and Happy Alfa

The staff are True Alfa are knowledgeable and enthusiastic but when buying a car from them that needs work make sure you have an agreed date for when the work will be completed prior to handing over a deposit. When the work is completed make sure it is to the standard discussed and agreed. Always arrange to inspect the underneath of any vehicle you are interested in buying.

Hi Rob,Thanks for the 3 star review the 1996 GTV phase 1 you purchased was a very clean example, comprehensive full service history all the keys, drove A1. As i state to all my customers when leaving a deposit you being no exception i cant promise a date for collection until the vehicle have been pre MOT checked and all the relevant service parts have been ordered,the GTV was ready a few days later than expected due to the fact i had to wait for the valeters to valet the GTV for yourself to collect so was out of my hands. On the day of the collection i collected you from the train station as agreed in the GTV and all was well.The underneath of the GTV was without issue passing its mot with no advisories but the under engine tray was the original 1, you rang me saying how you were disappointed as it wasn't in nice condition i did offer to send you another but you said you had already got one and not to bother. I will try and do better in the future,All the best Happy Alfa Matthew
