That is a very good question. The closest may be The Italian Job in Clayton or the new Zagames in Brighton but they are not on the Mornington Peninsula.

I would be interested to know if there is some one there as we may need to get them on board as a club sponsor to assist members in such instances.  We need to cover all geographic locations.

Assuming the car is in the Melb. suburbs, an alternative is you take the car to the nearest specialist available.

Good luck.

I run a Mazda workshop in Frankston and would be happy to carry out a RWC/pre-purchase inspection for normal retail rates.
My AR background may help also. 0417-365929

Dehne, it's really hard that side of town unless you own a jag or mg, Alfa Romeo for some reason doesn't have a lot of representation over that side of town, I'm doing alot of work in the south east at the moment and have tried to find someone so I can get services during the week close to where I work if I decide to drive my Alfa.

Johns right about the italian job and also Brighton Honda on Nepean Hwy (803 Nepean Hwy Brighton), also have a seperate Alfa Romeo dealership, but they obviously sell their own cars rather than being an independant mecahnic's shop and obviously it's a long way from the mornington peninsula proper.

You can try the link below to search for Alfa or Euro specialists close to where you live, it may give you something. Of course theres always the RACV but whether their type of general checks are what you want is another thing.
