How to spot a fair garage in Cardiff
Whether or not a garage is on our approved list yet, the same rules protect you:
- Get it itemised. Parts and labour split out. Vague "workshop charges" are where padding hides.
- Know the fair price first. Cardiff independent labour rates run roughly £45–£70 an hour — well under dealer rates. Check your exact car so you walk in informed.
- Ask before extra work. A fair garage rings you before doing anything not agreed, not after.
- Cheapest isn't always fairest. A suspiciously low quote can mean the wrong parts or corners cut. Fair means right price for the right work.
Why "approved" means something here
MyRepairCost holds real fair-price data across 1,000+ car models, checked by someone who works on cars. A garage doesn't get the badge by paying for it — it agrees to the Fair Pricing Pledge, and every listing carries a 'report unfair pricing' link so drivers keep it honest. Break the pledge and the badge comes off.
