Well, maybe small but I find hard to believe there is no one single camera repair shop in the whole country. Anyway... good luck.

You are right. There are repair shops

But are they reliable?

Besides Eos-m was a new Canon model. In small repair shop are they familiar with the camera, a new Canon model ? Hard to believe.

So I would prefer to resort to a bigger repair facility where there would be greater likelihood that technicians are more familiar with the m cameras

EOS M is a ten- year old model. Experience is not the problem, workshop manual and unofficial repair guides are no problem, Portugal is still part of the European Union so postage, VAT and Customs are no problem if you want to send it to Amsterdam or Germany. The biggest problems are that an hour's skilled labour plus the establishment costs of a large repair facility will cost a lot compared  with the second-hand value of a ten year old camera.  Replacement parts will probably have to come out of a dead camera as Canon only try to keep spare parts for seven years after they discontinue a model. I think you would be better off with the sort of one-man firm that repaired my EOS M a few years ago.
