Having owned an Alfa once (78 Spider) parts are a bit hard to come by, especially given the circumstances of COVID-19 these days. There aren't any Canadian distributors of Alfa Romeo parts, but there are a handful based out of the US. Otherwise, for these models, you would need to get your parts from Europe (not exclusive to Italy.)

People often think that Alfa Romeos are bizarre or complicated to work on - this is not true. They're no different than say your average BMW, VW, Audi, Toyota, Honda etc. They have their weird/odd quirks (because Italian) but that's about it. Are they reliable? For this generation, for an Alfa, yes (lol.) Otherwise, a real pleasure to drive (when it works lol) and to own (subjective.) I have an affinity for Italian nonsense, but this one here is great for people who just enjoy being punished by their spouse (Mr. HappySlip comes to mind.)
