Question about service in Germany from Russia.

[Tony72]

Hello everybody!

My car is Spider 3,2, 2008 production.

Yesterday I started to think to find some Alfa service station in Germany.

The situation is follow...
I bought my car with 0 mileage from official dealer.
Now we don't have in Russia any official dealers.
This summer is my 4th season on Spider and some problems with roof mechanism appeared. When I'm putting down the roof this process sometimes stopping. Sometimes in the middle of the process, sometimes in the end.
I'm trying to solve this with the service station of our former official dealer, but, I think, it will not be successful. This is only one place with correct Examiner.

I think will be quite reasonable to make next summer some trip in Europe on my Spider with a part of this trip: to visit some good service station.

Could You recommend something?

Many thanks in advance!

There are several good garages in Germany.

You should specify your travel destination so we are able to help you.

Hauke,

thank a lot for your answer.

I will move from the East.
But if I have a trip +/- 500 km is not very big difference.
I'm more interested in quality and in time of work. Because for me will be difficult to wait several weeks for some part.

And another one question.
May be You read something about this problem with a roof on Spider?
I think this is not only my unique case.
My friend with the same car has the same problem.
It can be some specific problem with these cars.

Best regards.
Anton

Thank You very much, Jens!

It is interesting. As I thought, this is a kind of usual problems.
I will try to check it with part number.

One interesting thing.
If I'm operating with the roof with headlights switched off, roof is moving OK.
Voltage is higher.

Dear friends,
what do you think about this place

I have only made experiences with garages north of Hamburg.

You could visit the garage of Gerd Seck in Barsbüttel, thats a suburban town some kilometer east of Hamburg.
They are working quite fast and have good knowledge about the newer models.

Maybe some people from the south will also answer and share their experiences...
