Alfa Romeo launched the 'Alfa Romeo Classiche' department in October of 2022. This department is dedicated to the repair, restoration, and maintenance of the brand's classic and retro vehicles. According to Alfa Romeo, the department will also offer certification services for consumers who own Alfa Romeo vehicles.
The certification service will entail the Alfa Romeo Classiche staff inspecting each aspect of the vehicle to validate that no components have been swapped or replaced, effectively validating that the car is in its stock state. This certification will largely contribute to the resale value of these vehicles, as well-maintained, full-stock classic cars are more expensive than those that have been serviced. This service can be performed at the Alfa Romeo Classiche in-store department, or at the owner's home, though there may be an associated fee if done at home.
