Hi.

We have a Citroen C3.

Having been ripped off by Citroen in the past,but trust them to regas the Air con,we took it there.

Apparently the compressor has gone,the job will cost 650€,plus the 180 we had to pay there and then.

After living here for ten years,we don't find most tradesmen trustworthy.

We need somewhere around the Carrefour area if possible.

Thank you.

Just a bit too far for us.

Think the job will be a long one,and we would have to hang around Montesinos.

Thank you though.

Hi Robbie,  I use Automocion Mallen, Ave. de las Cortas Vaencianas, 24, Torrevieja, 03184 opposite where the old Iceland Store, which isn't too far from from you. Tel. 96 670 3464. Speak to Juan who has excellent English. His work is excellent and fair prices. I've used him for over 20 years for servicing, repairs and bought 2 cars from him.

Kind Regards, Pete.

Oh,thank you for that Pete.

Yes,not far away from us,so handy.

We refuse to give Citroen 650€ for a compressor,and re gas.

It may be us out of touch with prices,but Citroen ripped us off big time some years ago,so we are wary of them.

Appreciate your help.

So do we.

Citroen,over the last ten years have taken a lot of euros from us,but no more.

Thank you.
