FIAT at Roberts Aerospace & Automotive
FIAT's are the performance car bargain at the moment from the modest, but fun
to drive, Cinqecento Sporting to the shatteringly fast Coupe Turbo there is
a performance FIAT for every pocket and insurance bracket so everyone can drive
a sporting Italian car should they want to.
Our pick is the 16v Coupe - not as expensive to service or as unreliable as the 20v cars and much more rewarding to drive and cheaper to insure than the turbos. It's a genuine sports car in the classic mould and with the torquey and well developed rally winning engine out of the Lancia Integrale is a surprisingly good car for very little money.
However, the more modern FIATs built using the FIAT group's modular engine family can be expensive to service - a franchised FIAT dealer will charge you £1600 to change the cam belt in a 20V coupe or even Marea as they will take the engine out - a job you need to do every three years!
However, this is a job that can actually be done by moving the engine out of the way a little - it's tricky though...
We offer fixed prices on the following common FIAT jobs (Coupe used as an example):
| Every 9,000 miles or annually. | Short Service (oil change, oil filter, air filter, fluids, brake check, vehicle condition check). | £99.00 |

Please include your chassis number (VIN) in any correspondence (the "ZAFxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" number) in any correspondence if at all possible as we can look your car up on a database that will tell us what engine, trim, date of manufacture, and any other variations it might have and that'll save us asking lots of repetitive questions that you might not know the answer to anyway.
