Ashland
Wilkinson Upholstering

Comments: Wayne has been restoring car interiors and tops on all types of car and boats for over 20 years. He is well known in the antique auto circle. If you are in need of his services please use my name when you contact him. Thom Brooks

Beverly
The Upholstery Doctor

Comments: Tom did a wonderful and historically-correct set of interior carpets for my Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ. A truly super job - I loved it! ∙ The Upholstery Doctor made me a new set of carpets completely from scratch. They are perfect in every way. They look and feel exactly like the original equipment carpets and still look like new after 15 years! ∙ The stitching of the driver's seat squab in my Alfa 164L deteriorated and the seams came apart. Tom re-stitched the seat so well that it looked just like a factory-fresh job.

Easthampton
George's Trim Shop

Comments: George does show-quality upholstery for autos and boats in his small shop in Easthampton. He is a long-time auto restorer with a passion for 50's Oldsmobiles, but had no problem jumping into restoring my Alfa Romeo seats and door panels.

Everett
Brake & Truck Supply, Inc.

Comments: Their only business is brake relining, primarily for trucks — but they will do cars. Ho bonding — they only reline using rivets. They knew the lining specs and did the rear shoes for my '63 Spider. Drop off your shoes and a drum. Did mine in three business-day turnaround. Labor intensive — not cheap. Tom has been in the business 30+ years and obviously knows his stuff. Very satisfied with the work. Very scary location.

Greenfield
Labelle & Leitner Auto Repair

Comments: Very friendly and helpful, lots of car knowledge.

Holyoke
D&S Custom Metal Restoration

Comments: Concours-quality metal refinishing. Restoration and chrome plating even on die-cast "pot" metal pieces. Small shop with highest quality. Pricey but well worth it. Tell Mickey that Terry sent you.

Lawrence
European Motorsports

Comments: I have know Michael since 1988 when I was selling new Lamboghinis and took a new LM002 to him for a trani rebuild. He had it completely torn down and back in working order in no time. He loves all Italian cars and it shows. If you visit today, you will see a very clean '93 Spider for sale, as well as an awesome '74 Merak for under $30K. In the shop today is an '89 Countach in for a clutch and late-model Maserati having its engine rebuilt.

Marlborough
Kustom & Restoration Specialties

Comments: I know Pete from another shop that he worked at before going out on his own. He did really nice work there, and seems intuitive about working on old sports cars. I will be having some work done by him this Spring on my Spider and will update this listing when finished.

Rowley
Glynn Motorsports

Comments:  Paul (with Michael Wrigley) has re-opened for service and performance work. Together they provide over 60 years of devoted Alfa service, vintage racing, performance rebuilds, restoration, and personalized customer treatment. Also, Paul now brings his recent experience from Paul Russell and Co. to your car. ∙ The reopening of GMS is second only to the Second Coming as far Boston North Shore Alfa owners are concerned. As Fred Di Matteo said (and if you know Alfas in the Boston area, you know who Fred was): this is the place to have your Alfa worked on.

Sherborn
Performatek

Comments: Reliable, honest, and provides what you need. Makes suggestions that are value added, constructive.

Somerville
International Auto Repair

Comments: Native Italian born knowledge of Italian cars; knows German, Swedish cars

Southborough
Ellis Imports (closed)

Comments: John kept my slowly-deteriorating 79 Alfetta going for a long time, at reasonable prices while keeping it reliable. Good advice on what repairs were really worth it and what were over the top.  ∙  Very good work, but expensive.  ∙  Chuck Ellis had been doing all the work on my Alfa spiders since 1977. Chuck closed his shop after almost 40 years in the business.

Tyngsboro
Chelmsford Auto Electric

Comments: I had a problem with the windshield wiper motor on my '69 Spider, and couldn't find a new part. I called a large number of auto electric facilities, but nobody except Chelmsford would tackle it. They repaired the motor, and it works great.

Walpole
1A Auto Clinic

Comments: I've noticed an Alfa at this shop from time to time so I stopped in to inquire about their experience working on them. The mechanic I talked to indicated that he worked on Alfas and that he had owned one in Lebanon. While he was very friendly, he was not forthcoming with regard to any specifics about particular cars he had worked on or the type of mechanical work he had performed.

Waltham
Abko Auto Body

Comments: Excellent body shop; have done rust repair & painting for me, including a complete repaint of my GTV6. Results are exceptional.

Waltham
Accel Automotive

Comments: They seem to have a thorough knowledge and willingness to work on all models & years. Seem to keep regular business hours and are always accessible by phone. ∙ Tune-up not properly done; repair of non-working parts excellent. ∙ John did my motor mounts and exhaust work. He went through my entire car with me when I first brought it in and advised me of future repairs.

Waltham
Paul's Auto Body

Comments: I have had great experiences for body work, paint, and some minor servicing. They have a strong appreciation for Italian cars as they are both from Italy and familiar with them.

Winchester
The Garage Valet

Comments: I hold Jim in high esteem and highly recommend him and The Garage Valet to anyone who is looking for superior results in caring for their cars. ∙ I had thirteen projects and Jim did them all professionally and beautifully. Jim’s patience and resourcefulness were astounding. I recommend The Garage Valet to anyone who has a vehicle they love. ∙ Jim knows his stuff and is extremely caring and careful (not to mention being an exceedingly nice guy). If you've been looking for a responsible and skilled person to take care of your four-wheeled treasure, look no further than The Garage Valet. ∙ With 3 detail jobs done by Jim, I have to conclude that he is tops in his business, as also evidenced by the high-end sports car dealers who call on Jim on a regular basis. Jim has the advantage of considerable mechanical and service skills, so that whatever is removed to be cleaned is re-installed with extra care.

Wrentham
Bill's Automotive Center/Citgo Station

Comments: Presently there is an Alfa Spider and a Fiat 124 sitting outside this shop. The mechanic I talked to indicated that he worked on Alfas but did not elaborate any further on his abilities or on the models of cars he has serviced.
