I collected my A500 today after ordering at the end of January. The Abarth specialist is Jonny Boyes who is spot on and a good laugh. They have a good selection of both A500's and AGP's at the showroom. Jonny sorted me out with a good deal and helped out wherever he could. I traded my car in and things couldn't have been easier. I can highly recommend the dealer. Very handy that I live 10 minutes from it.

yeah Jonny's a good guy. Iv'e had good service there too.

been through to Petch today to have some warrantee work done (doors creeking and to see about the black side skirt that has started un-glueing itself from the car)

i arive just as the dealership opened and we greeted by a smile which was nice. The lady at reception delt with my form and made the effort to talk to me. (something i find most dealers dont do). i asked her if i could speak with the abarth tech, who promptly came out to speak to me, showed him the trim that was comming off and he informed me that it would requirer body shop. i then stood around chatting to him about the car for a good 20 mins, he was a top bloke and you could see he genuanly liked what he did. he then told me he'd look at my car first which he did, doors sorted and he also updated the blue and me which was nice of him

car is booked in for the 1st to have the trim looked at but all in all another fantastic experiance at SG petch. good job guys, keep it up

I wanted to give feedback for some great help and advice I've recently recieved from Mike from the service dept at SG Petch.

SG Petch fitted their first A500 SS kit to my car for the first owner, pre-delivery, and one of the regsitration tasks in the Fiat/Abarth database needed to be completed such that I'd be able to make a warranty claim on a couple of parts in the SS kit. He was very helpful and chased up what needed to be sorted.

Then he took the time to be frank and honest regarding the issues I have with my car and also offered to fax through the service notes for checking the geometery, which enabled me to cross reference the SS kit settings with those at my local geo place.

I would have taken my car to SG Petch for service and warranty work after the great help, service and advice I'd received from Mike, but as they are almost 200 miles away I had to look for somewhere more local.

been in to petches today to book a service, as usual they were a pleasure to deal with, the parts guy is always chatty, got to catch up with jonny in sales and the service lady was helpful as ever.

they had a new girl training on reception, never encountered an AGP SS before so a bit of extra training for her and a guided tour of my car

 got to take them chocolate  when i next go in though, thats how you get good service

Excellent service from petch, took car on wednesday for new driveshaft gaitor and leaking endplate on gearbox, all sorted, picked car up tonight. They were not concered about the mods to the car either. No queing at the desk, infact the two times we have been there has never been anyone else their. I will let them off for the Kia they gave us.
