Only answer this if you know what your talking about.

It's a Fiat Punto 1999.
Basically the wipers have stopped working, first thought was the fuse had blown, it hadn't but replaced it anyway, clearly did not start working.

I am guessing it could be a problem with the Front Wiper motor. I am travelling on Sunday and need it fixed!!!

So how long should it take? (would a garage likely to have it in)
How much should it cost? (labour and parts)

Closest garage is a citroen garage, or would i have more luck at a MOT garage?

Thanks in advance.
 
Firstly, DON'T use main dealers, regardless of make - they will invariably be the most expensive.
Ask friends or family for an independent garage they can recommend, and go there for a quote. I wouldn't have thought that anyone would have a motor in stock (If there's no sound when you switch the wipers on & the fuse is OK, then the motor's most likely at fault).
You're most likely looking at a bill of between £100 & £200 all in.
 
should not take more then 2 hrs , the cost for the part depends on availability , approx. 80 $ US 80$ labour, good luck
