Car repair quotes can be stressful because most people do not know which parts are urgent, which are optional and which prices are normal. A second look can help you ask better questions before approving work.
Ask before approving
- Is this repair urgent or advisory?
- Can the quote separate parts and labour?
- Are the parts OEM, aftermarket or used?
- Is VAT/tax included?
- What warranty is included?
- Can you show photos of the issue?
- What happens if more work is found?
Be careful when
- The quote is vague.
- You are pressured to approve immediately.
- Several unrelated repairs are added without explanation.
- No warranty is mentioned.
