Compare Citroen repair quotes from specialist garages in Ayr

Ayr is a popular coastal tourist destination, so traffic in the town increases considerably during the summer months. It is served by several major roads, including the A70, which runs east to Cumnock, Lanark and Edinburgh. If you need to get around without a car, Ayr railway station has regular services run by ScotRail to Edinburgh Waverley, Glasgow Central and Stranraer. The bus station is near the town centre, and Stagecoach operates most services in the area.

Since Ayr is on the coast, cars in this area may experience a higher level of corrosion on key components, requiring them to be replaced more often. The bodywork starts to rust first; other parts most at risk include the brake callipers, nuts, and bolts. You can help to prevent this from happening by regularly washing your car, especially after a trip to the beach. Since rust spreads and eats away at metal components, it's best to get it fixed sooner rather than later. FixMyCar can help you find a bodywork specialist near Ayr.

Over the years, Citroen has come up with more than a few quirky ideas. The second car it produced, the 1922 Type C 5HP, became known as the ‘petit citron' (little lemon) because of its small size and the yellow paint colour you could order it in. Since then, there has been the Citroen Picasso, taking inspiration from Pablo Picasso's use of shape. The Citroen DS 19 was the vehicle of choice for the French President Charles de Gaulle, who survived an assassination attempt in 1962 thanks to the car's superior suspension system, allowing his chauffeur to drive away after two of the tyres were shot.
