Even better, does anyone know why it has closed down, there was police tape on the gate and doors a few weeks ago. A friend has a couple of cars there.

It may help someone if you advise whether it is La Marina the urbanisation or La Marina the town.

Why do you have to comment each time someone mentions La Marina, the original poster has told us the name of the garage, that must be enough.

UPDATE. 

I have just been informed by one of the local police officers I know, that they have been closed down as they did not have a license to operate the business.

From personal experience, “don’t go there. “The man who runs the garage, Mike Brierley, has proven to be a pathological lying thief and has had many denunciation taken out against him. This is most like why it’s closed. Lots of people know and have experienced his dealings.

I know, I used him about 7 years ago and never gone back again. Had a problem with the indicator lamp for the ABS on my car system not turning off. After they "fixed" it, for €75 I noticed that it never turned on and checked the system when I started the car. Turned out that they had put a piece og black tape over the lamp behind the glass on the instrument panel.

I wouldn’t go near the place again after the way I was treated. I needed a new float switch in my fuel tank and they didn’t do the tank up properly and the next time I fuelled up it was all over the forecourt of the garage. They only take cash, which suggests maybe not everything goes through the books.
