Servicing by Walon, Portbury, Bristol

Curious that Walon comes up as a service agent for Bristol on the Abarth website. I thought they just prepped the cars?

Walon are only listed because they have PDI facilities for fleet markets.
They are actually a transport company.

Thanks John - as I thought.

I was looking to see if Wessex Bristol were listed yet as being open for business - a service is coming due and I've had a squeally rear wheel.

Maybe Walon ought to be taken off the Abarth website since they don't serve the retail market which the website is aimed at?

Went down to Wessex on Wednesday after dropping an email over to them re opening.

There are still a couple of cars in the windows but the remainder of the showroom is still empty - no furniture or evidence of any activity...

Early new Year was the reply when I asked... http://www.abarthforum.co.uk/general-abarth/new-abarth-dealer-for-bristol/15/

Here's hoping its sooner rather than later.

Abarth time seems to run at a very Italian pace...
