Finding a Workshop
No master craftsman requirement, huge quality differences. Authorized brand shops: reliable but 30-50% more expensive. Independent mechanics: cheaper, quality varies. Only reliable method: word of mouth.
Typical Costs
Oil change: €30-60. Brakes: €100-200/axle. AC service: €50-80. Full service: €200-400. Always get written estimate. Get 2-3 quotes for major repairs.

Workshop Culture
"Tomorrow ready" may mean next week. Older mechanics: Greek only. Japanese/Korean car parts: plentiful. German car parts: may need importing. Never prepay more than 30%. Insist on written receipt.
