Compare Alfa Romeo 147 full service and MOT quotes from specialist garages

Alfa Romeo is a quintessentially Italian carmaker known for the style and elegance of its sporty vehicles. In a 2008 episode of Top Gear, Hammond, Clarkson and May set out to prove that you can't be a proper petrolhead until you've owned an Alfa. The brand's iconic status also stretches beyond the small screen, with its cars appearing in a slew of blockbusters, including The Godfather, The Graduate, Octopussy and The Talented Mr Ripley.

At the 2022 Autocar Awards, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio was named a future classic, earning praise for being "sublime to drive and beautiful to look at" - a statement that perfectly captures the spirit of the brand.

An MOT is a standard vehicle roadworthiness test determined by the government, while a full car service isn't a legal requirement and can vary from one garage to the next. However, the two go hand in hand.

Some drivers book a full car service and MOT test at the same time (the MOT should always be done before the service) since they are both carried out annually. Doing so has several benefits: it saves time because you don't have to take two trips to the garage and ensures your car is in excellent condition, preventing future repair bills.

Certain garages may offer a car servicing and MOT deal, which works out cheaper than booking the two jobs separately. That's why, if you want to book an MOT and full service check, you should shop around for the best price on FixMyCar.
