The Rootes Standard
What you get on every job
Not extras, and not only on the big jobs. This is how every car is looked after at Rootes Motors, from an oil service to a gearbox.
Fixed price in writing before we start
You get a fixed price in writing before any work begins. If we find anything else, we send you photos and a link to approve or decline it — nothing extra is done without your yes.
12-month warranty on parts we supply
12-month warranty on parts we supply (wear items and consumables excluded), and every job is road-tested and checked before handover.
Covers on, clean overalls, every car
A seat cover, steering-wheel cover and floor mat go into every car before we touch it, and we work in clean overalls — never in a customer's car in dirty clothes.
A warm, dry waiting room with coffee
On a while-you-wait job you sit in a warm, dry waiting room with a coffee — not stood outside in the cold and rain.
Paperless, with every job on record
Booking is paperless. Every job is recorded against your car, and we email you the documents confirming the work completed.
Automatic service and MOT reminders

MOT arranged on our street
We arrange your MOT at the DVSA-approved test centre on our street, take the car there and back, and fix anything that fails.
Questions we get asked
Can an independent garage service the Giulia's gearbox?
Yes. It is a ZF 8HP, the same gearbox family we service on BMWs, Jaguars and Land Rovers. We use the fluid specified for your car by part number, and we diagnose the Alfa's systems with a professional multi-brand scanner.
Is the Stelvio's gearbox the same as the Giulia's?
Yes, the same ZF eight-speed family. The service is the same; the pan, filter and fluid are confirmed for your car before we start.
When should the gearbox oil be changed on a Giulia or Stelvio?
ZF recommends an oil change after 150,000 km (about 93,000 miles), and sooner with hard use or an unknown history. We recommend 60,000 to 80,000 miles, sooner on a car that is driven hard.
How much is a ZF 8HP gearbox service on a Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio?
From £399, priced to your car. The price moves with which 8HP version it has, the pan and filter part and how much has to come off to reach it. Give us your registration and we confirm a fixed price in writing before we start.
