Open price list

Many workshops only show their hourly rate online. We wanted to tell you more: we have put together a price list that is as detailed as possible, so you can see in advance what different jobs cost with us – and coming to the workshop is nothing to be nervous about.

  • Based on real jobsThe prices come from work we have actually done, not rough guesses.
  • For most carsFor the majority of passenger cars the price falls within the range in the price list.
  • Premium brandsOn premium cars and more demanding designs the work often takes longer, so the price may be higher.

We are happy to give you an exact price for your car by phone or as a quote.
