Hi, 

I have just had a car from a friend, but it needs some work doing on it and the itv is due in November.

The fuel tank needs replacing as it has a hole in it and I have had two very different quotes to replace this. 

Can anyone recommend a garage in or around Mojacar that may be able to do the work and the itv? 

Many Thanks

Probably not as close to Mojácar as you'd like, but I can definitely recommend Costa Coches in Antas, run by James Whitehouse.

Vizcaino in Mojácar Pueblo is definitely the best, but it would be helpful if you speak a bit of spanish.

Thank you both for the recommendations! 

My Spanish is terrible, but I am trying, so I'll get in touch with them both.

Many Thanks

James Whitehouse is a native English speaker - no Spanish needed

Try the garage that's next to the petrol station near Iceland in Vera.  They speak a reasonable amount of English, had work done on our car there, as well as the ITV.  Very good price happy with the service we received.  

Also, whilst you're trying to learn Spanish you might want to try an app call 'sayhi'.  It will translate for you and can prove useful.  Best still it's free!
