MOTOR INDUSTRY CODE OF PRACTICE

Designed to make the Motor Industry fair for all customers

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) or equivalent resolution providers are free and independent services that help resolve complaints without going to court.

Depending on the nature of your complaint, you may refer to the ADR provider or equivalent, which for Alfa Romeo customers is either The Motor Ombudsman or the Financial Ombudsman Service.
