The team
Small team, no receptionist. You talk to the person who is going to work on the car. As a team they’re great: what Dan hates, Ant loves, and what Dan loves, JP hates.
Owner & founder
Ant founded Auto Sportivo in 2014, when what was once a dream and a passion turned into a business. He started his career at Fiat and Alfa Romeo in 2001, so he knows the older stuff inside out, from Fiat Uno Turbos to Fiat Coupés.
Main technician
The best in the game, and no job is too small. Dan would rather take a part apart and fix it than throw it in the bin and buy new, and he will always try to save the customer money. He always has time to help anyone when he can. Dan has been with Auto Sportivo for over five years.
Electrics & mapping
Does nothing… JP can read a book. He is very miserable, so please do not approach him in working hours. However, he is a master at electrics and mapping, and his strength is diagnosing electrical faults. JP has been with Auto Sportivo for 10 years.
How it works here
“What a difference from your average garage, first the feeling they want your business, then they all know what they are talking about, not like other garages when you hand the keys over to a receptionist that wouldn’t know what a Cat…”

In their words
2nd time i have used Auto Sportivo. 100% genuine knowledgeable mechanics on I Italian cars, they are so passionate about their work. I made the mistake last year to have taken my Abarth Anniversario to a garage in Bedford who changed the oil with the wrong type, the next day i noticed a tappet noise, (I contacted Google AI who said Autosportivo were the best in the area .) I spoke Ant he immediately said (You have the wrong oil in the car bring it over I will change it now” I would only ever let Autosportivo touch my car in the future. Yesterday they fitted a new timing bet,tensioner & water pump with a full service.
I couldn't recommend Auto Sportivo enough! From clear initial communication via email to great updates over WhatsApp, Ant and the team kept me updated every step of the way. They took great care of my car and carried out an exceptionally high standard of work. Their coffee isn't bad either! Thank you.
Highly recommended! Thank you to Dan and Ant for replacing the timing belt and waterpump on my Abarth and sorting out a bad oil leak I had from underneath the turbo aswell as some other bits that needed addressing. Your work and communication is top notch! Will definitely use you guys again for any future work
Auto Sportivo are just the best! I can't recommend them highly enough. The prices are reasonable, they do an excellent job and are a cracking bunch of people as well. I take my Fiat Coupe to them for service, repairs and any other work I need doing. I trust them to carry out the work and not to over charge me. If you've a Fiat or an Alfa then this is the go-to place for your car.
Dan and Ant did a great job in both sorting out the problems on my Fiat Coupe turbo 20V (including changing the dreaded cam belt) as well as upgrading the engine with a hybrid turbo and new chip. It's now running so smoothly and the increase in power is amazing. Thoroughly recommend AutoSportivo, especially for Fiat Coupes.
I have been using Auto Sportivo for the past year to service my Abarth 595 Competizione. Upon every visit, you are greeted with exceptional customer service and knowledge. They go above and beyond making sure your car is looked after and …
Outstanding Service and Genuine Care – Highly Recommend Auto Sportivo. I honestly can’t thank Ant and Dan at Auto Sportivo enough for everything they’ve done for me. They’ve gone above and beyond from the very start, and I can …
I haven't even got a Italian car, but Ant has always shown me and my (german) car the best service I could ask for. Honesty and great prices. I recommend the Ant and the garages services to anyone who ever asks. Keep up the good work guys. 👏🏾
As a specialist in my trade I know what a deference in service and workmanship there is in getting things done right by knowledge and experience and Auto Sportivo is exactly that 👌
