Compare Citroen repair quotes from specialist garages in Stockport

Stockport is seven miles south-east of Manchester city centre, just over a 30-minute drive. Be careful on the M60 slip road; it has been named one of the most dangerous in the UK. Stockport bus station was one of the largest and busiest in Greater Manchester. It was replaced by Stockport interchange in 2024. Keep an eye out for Stockport viaduct while driving through town - it was built in 1840 using 11 million bricks.

A Clean Air Zone (CAZ) operates in Stockport to improve air quality and specifically reduce public exposure to nitrogen dioxide, a pollutant produced by traditional combustion engines. This goal is achieved by encouraging the use of cleaner vehicles, such as EVs, and restricting high-pollution vehicles. Many CAZs charge drivers for entering them, though some are non-charging. Before driving in Stockport, it's worth checking online whether you will have to pay for driving through the zone.

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.
