Estimates based on typical market rates. Actual costs vary by garage, city, and exact part requirements. Always get a written estimate from at least 2 garages before approving work.

Why estimates vary

Your city matters

Tier-1 city labour rates are 20–40% higher than tier-2 cities. Some services (denting/painting) vary even more by location.

Vehicle type matters

Luxury and EV vehicles need specialist tools and parts. Expect to pay 1.5×–2× the cost of an equivalent service on a standard hatchback.

Always written, never verbal
