Fiat mechanic in lower mainland BC

Post by dmav »

just wondering if anyone knows of a decent mechanic in vancouver area that will actually give my spider a once over. I know these mechanics are hard to find but just wondering if there is one other there.

Check Clemente's 4-play Auto Sport on KIngsway. Gio has been dealing with Fiats and Alfa's for quite some time. If you're up this way,(Okanagan) I have tools and some spares. What were you looking at doing?

I have what can only be described as a transmission whine and I am hesitant to bring her to a standard mechanic so I think I might give Gio a call. I'm also need to tighten my clutch cable, which Im pretty sure i can do myself.

I would also recommend Gio!

He has fixes my FIAT spider whenever my amateur wrenching goes wrong. Gio also worked on my Alfa 164.

Very knowledgeable and usually a fun collection of cars in the shop to look at. Supercharging a 308 last time i was in.

I was in Vancouver this week and stopped by Gio's shop to meet him and have a chat. Very knowledgeable guy. I wouldn't hesitate taking my car to him. He has some parts in stock - but his supply is diminishing. He actually talked me out of a roll bar - said they are more cosmetic than functional in a roll over.
