Service cost

I have to admit that I have little faith in many garages or mechanics. For around 12 months I had intermittent problems with the immobiliser on my motorhome.  After 2 visits from Green Flag, 3 visits to 2 different garages each time being told the problem was something different and around £700 lighter I was immobilised yet again so called out a mobile auto electrician/mechanic.  He attached the computer to the motorhome but couldn't find what was wrong but after a closer look at where the key goes into the ignition noticed that the silver ring around the top of the ignition was loose.  He fixed it with superglue and charged me £190.00 for the visit and for attaching the computer to the motorhome.  He was the only one out of 6 people to realise what the problem was, which quite frankly, is very alarming!

Our Adria Coral is just over 2 years old now and we’ve had it serviced annually by a local Fiat dealer.

Both services were low mileage services costing 199 each with the 2nd service being carried out a few weeks before Adria’s 2nd birthday just in case anything untoward cropped up.

From now on it’ll be serviced and Mot’d by a local specialist as Fiat are quoting very high prices !
