Ask Us Anything About Alfa Romeo Service

Even veteran drivers sometimes discover they have questions about service. Luckily, the automotive experts at our location are happy to answer any questions you might have about Alfa Romeo service. Remember, the only silly questions that exist are the ones that aren’t asked, so don’t be shy with our technicians.

Here are some of the questions the pros in our Alfa Romeo service center have fielded most often over the years:

Do you use factory-made parts when you work on Alfa Romeo vehicles?

Whenever we work on vehicles manufactured by Alfa Romeo, we always use the same OEM parts you’ll find in our Alfa Romeo parts center. OEM parts are the superior choice over aftermarket alternatives because they’re made to be exact replicas of the components they’re replacing.

Is service important if I have a new automobile?

Service is vital at all stages of your car’s life. Even if your new vehicle doesn’t need a repair, it will still need routine maintenance.

Consult the routine maintenance schedule in your owner’s manual to see when your new automobile will need manufacturer-recommended service.

Why is routine maintenance so important?

When they contact or visit our Alfa Romeo dealership near Los Angeles, CA, some drivers ask us what all the fuss over routine maintenance is about. Routine maintenance is crucial because it will help your vehicle operate the way it’s designed to.

By following your routine maintenance schedule, you can prolong your car’s working life and preserve its resale value. Sticking to that schedule can keep your cumulative service costs lower than they would be otherwise, too.

How can I tell if my car needs new brake pads?

Brake pads are designed to alert you when they need to be replaced. If you need new pads, you’ll likely hear squealing, screeching, or grinding emanating from your wheel wells.

You may also notice that your brake pedal feels soft or spongy and that your car needs a greater distance to reach a full stop.

What’s the difference between a service center and a collision center?

A collision center like the one we’re partnered with works on the non-mechanical body parts of a vehicle. The experts in our Alfa Romeo service center work on the mechanical parts like your engine.

How can I save on Alfa Romeo service?

You can use our Alfa Romeo service coupons to save on services performed at our location.

What should I do if I have a question that’s not on this list?
