REPAIR COST GUIDES
Car repair costs: know what drives the price.
Bumper repair
Polishing a scuff, repairing a cover, and replacing a torn bumper involve different operations. Sensors, refinishing and hidden reinforcement damage can change the cost.
Fender repair
Dent size, creases, panel material and paint blending influence fender repair costs.
Door repair
A complete door assembly, glass, wiring and safety sensors need separate fitment checks.
Side mirror replacement
Heated glass, cameras, folding motors and blind-spot sensors change part and calibration requirements.
Windshield replacement
Glass type and driver-assistance cameras influence replacement and calibration costs.
Headlight replacement
Halogen, LED and adaptive assemblies vary greatly. Check the exact vehicle specification.
Scratch repair
Surface scratches may polish out. Damage through primer or metal usually requires refinishing.
Dent repair
Paintless dent repair may work when paint is intact. Creases and paint damage often need bodywork.
Brake repair
Grinding, squealing and a soft pedal need diagnosis. Safety-critical components must meet shop recommendations.
Alternator replacement
Charging problems can come from the battery, wiring or alternator. Diagnosis comes before parts replacement.
A/C repair
Leaks, condenser damage, electrical faults and compressor problems require testing before replacement.
Transmission repair
Slipping or harsh shifts need diagnosis. Fluid, controls and internal repairs have very different costs.
