Comments: Click here to read a detailed review.  Giovanni has been servicing my Alfas for several years, and I always found him to be honest, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. ∙ These people are excellent to deal with; there are no surprises and nothing they can't fix or repair. As well, they have a body shop and many parts. ∙ John knows everything about Italian and German cars. Dealing with him is always a positive experience. ∙ In July 2008 I purchased a 1972 GTV 2000. Although I had owned several vintage sports and race cars, this was my first Alfa Romeo. It needed a fair amount of work and several AONE members recommended Motorsport Ltd. in Allston, near our apartment in Boston. I took the car there and went over an extensive list of work with the owner, Giovanni Tartaglia. Giovanni was very knowledgeable about the car and very responsive to my concerns. The work took longer than I thought and cost more than I had anticipated. However, I did not rush Giovanni because I visited the shop and realized that he was doing a very thorough and professional job. His shop rates are competitive and he was able to locate some hard-to-find parts. He was very friendly and responsive throughout. I can recommend his shop to other AONE members.

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.

Comments: GTheir 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
