Tough times for motorists. This means of transportation, which is very important for many people, puts a huge burden on their finances. Not only are breakdowns becoming more frequent, up 29% over the last five years according to Opteven, the European leader in mechanical breakdown coverage, but maintenance and repairs are also increasingly expensive (+6.67% in 2025, +7.24% in 2024, and +11.51% in 2023, according to idGarages, a leader in online quote comparison).
Count, today, between 300 and 350 euros for a general overhaul, 450 euros for front discs and pads, 600 euros for front shock absorbers, 750 euros for a distribution kit and 180 euros for an AC overhaul, among the most common services.
