There is a Citroen dealer in Ceret. We used them this year and they seem to do a good job. I don't think anyone speaks english if you need to explain anything complicated

i know the garage on the main road i just hear horror stories from main dealers regarding charges thats why i wondered if there were any local independant garages.

Can't speak from personal experience but my neighbour tells me that the Citroen garage in Amelie are very good and trustworthy.

Owning a car is one thing but maintaining it is a totally different ball game.As with all the other expenses of daily life, the costs of car repair are increasingly getting higher.
The only feasible way of keeping tabs on car maintenance expenses is by being able to do the repair tasks yourself.

If you look a bit further, you might have a bigger selection of garagists.

Between Le Boulou and St. Genis you can find a garagist called "Garage Peris". He's quite good and his prices are much cheaper than the concessionaires.

I'm certain there are a few other A-D members use this garage too.

I never go to the big garages where you pay for the deep sofas, the air conditioning, the coffee and the smart hostesses, and where they make you wait longer than necessary in order to charge you more.
I know an excellent mechanic in Corneilla, halfway between Alenya and Elne, a very pleasant young man, extremely competent, with reasonable prices. Should you want details (name, phone, etc.), please pp me.

PS.The garage is not easy to find, but I can help (it's only a few kms away from where I live).

There is no other choice but to fix your car once it breaks down. Some cities have great public transportation systems, but most public transit is less than reputable. That means your vehicle needs to get fixed right away. A cash advance cash advance will help you pay to get the fixes done as quickly as possible, so you don’t have to stress about it another day.
