    Just wondering if anyone can recommend a good garage to get a standard service done? Preferably one that won't rip me off because I'm a girl and because I don't know too much about cars in general.

    Is €150 -€200 about average price for a service these days? I have a Fiat Punto. Any thoughts welcome, thanks.

    It depends on the service required.

    What engine have you got and what's the mileage on the car?

    We'll just guess the year..since its in KMS I presume its a newer model grand punto?

    If so the timing belt is due every 5 years, so due if the car is 07 or older, Costing around €250 to change.

    Brake fluid is due every 2 years at a cost of €45,

    Other then that, depending on its service history, a full engine service and vehicle inspection etc should be around the €120 mark.


    Those are the sort of prices that we charge in my place so I'd imagine would be similar in most independent garages.
