HE LEFT THE CAR AND GOT A BILL HE CANNOT CHECK

What the driver knows before he leaves the keys

• The estimate, written before the work — with the line that can move standing next to the reason it moves. (included from €450)
• What raises the bill most often, named up front — seized bolts, a part found worn once it is open, parts ordered in. If the list is not complete, the page says it is not complete.
• The proof afterwards — a photo of the part that came off, and the old part kept for the owner if he asks for it.
• The request arrives with car, symptom and plate — so your first answer is a figure, not another question.
• Count for yourself: how many drivers ask what it will come to before they hand over the keys. That one question is where the hesitation sits.
