Question 1

Car servicing

Accepted Answer

It’s usually recommended to give your car a full service every year or every 12,000 miles, whichever happens first. In between times, an interim service ensures your motor remains in the best possible condition.Although not legally required, regular servicing will keep your vehicle running smoothly and safely, pinpointing potential problems early on and reducing the risk of more serious (and expensive) issues cropping up later.And while there is some overlap with an MOT in terms of things checked, it doesn’t pay to skimp on either inspection.

Question 2

What’s included in a car service?

Accepted Answer

All three exceed virtually all manufacturers’ recommended inspections. Our strategic partnership with AXA™ Insurance, gives us access to an unparalleled network of garages and parts suppliers.

Question 8

Fiat

Accepted Answer

Fiat Automobiles is the largest car manufacturer in Italy, originally established over 100 years ago in July 1899, and is a subsidiary of FCA Italy (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles).

Question 9

How popular is Fiat in the United Kingdom?

Accepted Answer

There are around 890k Fiat cars on the road in the UK. Their popularity as a modern car supplier grew through the 1990s and peaked around the current number in the mid-2000s, where it has remained constant over the past 10 years.As a long established and easily recognised brand, a large part of their success can be put down to their historical models and retro styling.

Question 10

Attractively priced fun and funky cars

Accepted Answer

Fiat is renowned for providing unique styling associated with Italian car design, yet without the hefty sports car price tag.The Fiat 500 is possibly one of the most easily recognised cars in the world and a true piece of iconic car culture. Despite looking virtually the same as it did at its introduction in 1957, the latest model featured over 1,800 updates to its previous version, making sure it stands its ground in a modern car buyer’s market.

Question 11

Colourful cars for colourful people

Accepted Answer

When you visit Fiat’s website, you’ll be presented with bright, punchy colours and slogans, suggesting a younger feel and a driving culture based around a carefree life in the now. Riding the on-going success of the 500 and their strength in the city car market, Fiat has added the 500L and 500X to their current range; mini SUV and MPV offerings that build on the styling and popularity of the 500. And why wouldn’t they? It’s a smart way to break into new markets with a trusted and recognisable brand.

Question 12

Fiat’s reliability and reputation

Accepted Answer

Fiat ranked 14th place out of 30 car brands in the What Car? Reliability Survey in 2018. They are a well-established manufacturer who carries a reputation for style and keeping up with current trends, but under the watchful eye of a parent company who also owns Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Jeep and Maserati, their experience and wealth of industry knowledge is greater than first appears.
