Hi everybody! New owner of '80 Spider in Chicago

[spiderdriver2]

This car has been well-kept and runs smooth but it seems it may need a little fine-tuning to get that motor purring when idling. Any fellow Chicago-area owners throw me a holler! Anyone know a good mechanic in the Chicago area who knows these cars well?

Welcome aboard!

Welcome Spiderdriver2. The Chicago area has a great group of Fiat & Lancia owners who are very active and are always willing to help out a fellow Fiat owner when they need it. Check us out at http://www.meetup.com/chicagolandfiatandlancia/

The highest recommendation in the Chicago area for a Fiat mechanic would be Giovanni D'Avola at Autosprint on the northwest side of Chicago. His website is http://www.autosprint-imports.com/index.html

Otherwise, there is Lorenzo Reina at Reina International in Brookfield, WI. His website is http://www.reinaintlauto.com/
