A growing number of Spanish motorists are heading to Tangier to service their vehicles at significantly lower costs than in Spain, according to Spanish newspaper El Confidencial.
The trend is especially common among owners of vehicles over ten years old, who time their repair needs with holiday visits to Morocco.
Lower labor costs, relaxed environmental regulations, and the city’s proximity have made Tangier an attractive destination for budget-conscious drivers.
Round-trip ferry tickets between Tarifa and Tangier cost around €200, making the journey accessible and economically viable.
While El Confidencial warned of some informal garages using counterfeit parts, reviews on Spanish forums remain largely positive.
The paper notes that the city’s reputation as a Mediterranean hub for affordable car maintenance is steadily rising.
This cross-border phenomenon reflects a broader shift in consumer behavior as drivers look for cost-effective alternatives amid rising service prices in Spain.
