At Love Alfa, you can feel confident that you’re buying from a leading UK & Ireland Independent Alfa Romeo Specialist.

Our number one priority is to offer you the best service (and car) available. Below, our FAQ’s answer some of the most common customer queries. Please call us with any questions not covered below on 0121 456 1212.

Is it possible to arrange to have a vehicle either AA or RAC inspected?

Due from past experiences, we feel roadside inspections are a complete waste of time and money, vehicles really need inspecting properly on a ramp, not at the side of the road, although we are more than happy for you to arrange at your cost a full inspection at our local independent Alfa Romeo Specialists, where the vehicle can be inspected thouroughly on a 4 post ramp. Please get in touch if you would like more details.

Do your vehicles come with vehicle road tax?

Our vehicles do not, therefore you will need to arrange this yourself on the day of collection, this normally takes a few minutes online.

Are the vehicle features listed 100% correct?

The features on each vehicle advertised for sale on both our website and Autotrader’s are generally correct, although occasional mistakes can be made, therefore some features may or may not be present ie Air Conditioning for example. On this basis we would strongly recommended that any prospective purchaser relying on a particular feature/s to firstly satisfy themselves before entering into an agreement to purchase that the stated feature is indeed fitted.

Do you deliver any age or mileage vehicle without a customer first viewing it?

We are happy to arrange delivery at cost to the customer for vehicles up to the age of 8 years old and or 80,000 miles. Vehicles outside of this range will firstly need to be viewed before delivery could be arranged.

Do your vehicles come with a spare key?

All vehicles are supplied with one key unless otherwise stated.

Are your vehicles ready to take away on the day of viewing?

Once a deposit is taken, a vehicle can take up to 7 days to get prepped ready for collection/delivery, due to what work may be required, such as Mot, Service etc, so please check.

Can you arrange to have a vehicle delivered to me?

Yes we can arrange to obtain a competitive quote from one of our logistical partners.
