Best mechanic in Fuengirola Recommendations
 
Hi
The car engine light came on yesterday and I only just got it back to our garage which is under the ground one.
Im 100% sure it won’t make it to the local garage which is marco’s in los boliches.
what I was hoping to do was to get someone to come and take a look and hopefully fix it so I’ve not left a undriveable car for when my parents come out in September.I got the ITV sorted for them last week all ready and then this.
any recommendations greatly appreciated 👍

Why not go to the local garage and ask them if they will have a look?

yes,that’s the plan,but he’s always very busy and just opening it up to other suggestions as the family has always used only that garage and never really looked for anyone else.I’m thinking that it may not be possible in the week I have left.Not nice leaving the car broken for my parents to sort out

Do you not have breakdown assistance on your insurance policy?

yes,but it’s back in the garage at home.we are with la linera
update— thanks for the question as it gave me the incentive to give them a ring.they will collect the car even from home and take it to any garage of my choosing.
Ive been to the garage we usually go to and they have said they don’t fix cars only service them!!
as I looked into the garage they had the front axle off one car and the front off another.I think because I mentioned the engine management light he thought it’s electric problem.
