The end of the holidays is approaching, and it’s time to get your vehicle serviced before returning to work. But in which region can you get your car serviced at the best price? The annual barometer from the online quote comparison platform idGarages has just published its sixth annual ranking of the least expensive regions in France for various vehicle repairs and services.
It’s also worth noting that ID Garage generates 3 million quotes each year from 4,300 independent garages. Furthermore, since January 1, 2017, vehicle maintenance and repair professionals have been required to offer you the option of using used or recycled parts for certain categories of spare parts (Article L224-67 of the French Consumer Code). Here is the list of the 10 cheapest regions in France for car maintenance: Hauts-de-France: €243Occitanie: €245
Île-de-France: €258
- Pays de la Loire: €258
- Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur: €264
- Normandie: €266
- Centre-Val-de-Loire: €267
- Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes: €268
- Est de la France: €269
- Bourgogne-Franche-Comté: €274
- Where to get your car serviced: dealership or independent garage?
- The best prices are found in northern France, in the Hauts-de-France and Occitanie regions. In these regions, you can have your car serviced for around €243. It should be noted, however, that these prices can vary depending on the type of vehicle you own and the services you require. For example, a service for a diesel engine will always be more expensive than for a petrol engine.
- It’s also important to know that in some cases, it’s better to go to an auto center rather than a dealership. This is especially true for servicing, which is generally cheaper at centers than at dealerships.
It’s worth noting that the price of car maintenance also varies depending on the vehicle’s brand. For example, a BMW service will always be more expensive than a Peugeot service.
Finally, it’s worth noting that the price of car maintenance also varies depending on the city you live in. For example, car maintenance is generally more expensive in Paris than in other cities.
In short, the best prices for car maintenance are found in northern France, in the Hauts-de-France and Occitanie regions.
Note: Some dealerships will only honor the manufacturer’s warranty if they have your car’s service booklet. Your vehicle must be maintained according to this booklet, which comes with the car and remains with it throughout its life.
