If you drive an Abarth, you know it’s not just a car—it’s an attitude. Whether you’re nipping through Manchester traffic in an Abarth 595 Turismo, tearing up the lanes in a 695 Competizione, or enjoying the classic spirit of the 124 Spider, these turbocharged pocket rockets are built for pure driving pleasure.
However, getting that distinct, aggressive performance out of a high-tuned Italian engine requires specialist care. At Springfield MOT Centre in Sale, we provide dealership-level technical expertise for your Abarth, combined with the transparent pricing and friendly face of your favourite local independent garage.
Why Springfield MOT Centre is the Ultimate Choice for Your Abarth
1. Expert MultiAir and T-Jet Turbo Specialists
At the heart of every modern Abarth is a highly tuned Turbo T-Jet or MultiAir engine. These powerplants require exact precision. From using the correct high-grade fully synthetic oils to maintaining the delicate MultiAir actuator units, our technicians know exactly how to keep your engine producing maximum boost and reliability.
2. Advanced Italian Car Diagnostics
Abarths are packed with performance electronics, including the famous “Sport” mode button that completely changes the car’s throttle mapping and steering weight. If an engine management light flashes or your boost levels feel low, our advanced diagnostic garage equipment pinpoints the fault quickly, ensuring we fix the root cause, not just the symptom.
3. Protection for Your Warranty
Think you have to pay extortionate main dealer prices in Manchester to keep your manufacturer warranty valid? Think again. Under European Block Exemption regulations, you are free to choose any independent garage for servicing. We strictly follow Abarth’s service schedules and use original equipment (OE) quality parts, keeping your warranty 100% protected.
4. Wear & Tear Care for Performance Driving
Abarths are built to be driven enthusiastically, which means certain components experience higher wear. We specialise in tracking down suspension knocks, replacing heavy-duty Brembo braking systems, and checking high-performance exhaust setups like the iconic Record Monza system to make sure your car sounds exactly as it should.
Essential Abarth Maintenance We Handle:
- Spark Plug Replacements: High-strung turbo engines need their spark plugs changed regularly to prevent misfires under boost.
- Brake Discs and Pads Upgrades: Essential stopping power to match your Abarth’s acceleration.
- Turbocharger & Intercooler Inspections: Keeping your forced induction system leak-free and healthy.
- Cambelt & Water Pump Changes: Crucial preventative maintenance according to Abarth’s age and mileage schedules.
Abarth Servicing: Your Questions Answered (Q&A)
Q: How often does an Abarth need servicing?
A: Because they are high-performance turbo vehicles, we highly recommend servicing your Abarth every 9,000 to 10,000 miles, or once a year—whichever comes first. Regular oil changes are absolutely critical to protect the turbocharger from oil starvation and carbon build-up.
Q: Does my Abarth require special engine oil?
A: Yes, absolutely. Abarths are incredibly sensitive to oil types. Using the wrong grade can ruin the MultiAir system or starve the turbo. At Springfield MOT Centre, we only use manufacturer-approved, high-specification oils designed specifically to cope with the high temperatures of a performance engine.
Q: Can you service my modified or mapped Abarth?
A: We certainly can. Many Abarth owners love customising their cars with remaps, induction kits, or lowered suspension. Let our team know what modifications have been done, and we will tailor our inspection and care to suit your car’s upgraded specs.
Q: Can I book my Abarth MOT and service together?
A: Yes! We are a fully certified DVSA MOT testing station in Sale. Booking your service and MOT at the same time is the most cost-effective way to keep your car legal, safe, and performing at its peak.
