Frequently Asked Questions
How is repair cost calculated?
Cost = Parts price + (Labor hours × Hourly rate) + Diagnostic. Prices vary by vehicle class and region.
What is the average hourly rate at a garage?
From €45/h in rural areas to €90/h in metropolitan areas. Dealers are typically 20-30% more expensive than independent garages.
Do I have to pay for diagnostic even if I don't repair?
Generally yes, unless you have the repair done. Some garages deduct the diagnostic from the quote if you accept.
How can I reduce repair costs?
Compare multiple quotes, bring your own parts (if garage accepts), choose OE supplier parts rather than OEM.
Should I repair or sell an expensive car to fix?
If repair cost exceeds 50% of vehicle value, selling may be more economically sensible.
