Frequently Asked Questions about Auto Repairs

How much does a diagnosis cost at Faay Auto Groep?

At Faay Auto Groep, the initial diagnosis is completely free when you have your repair carried out by us. We connect your car to our professional diagnostic equipment, read error codes, and determine the cause of the problem. You'll receive a clear explanation and a transparent quote for the repair. Only for diagnosis without repair will we charge €45 for the time and expertise of our mechanics.

How long does an average car repair take?

The duration of a repair depends greatly on the type of problem. Small repairs like changing a light bulb or patching a tire can be completed within 30 minutes to an hour. Medium-sized repairs like brake pads, shock absorbers, or an exhaust can take 2-4 hours. Major repairs like clutch, gearbox, or engine repairs can take 1-3 days. We always inform you in advance about the expected turnaround time.

Do you offer a guarantee on repairs?

Yes, absolutely! At Faay Auto Groep, we offer a standard warranty on all repairs. We provide a minimum 12-month warranty on parts (or 20,000 km), and a 6-month warranty on labor. Longer warranty periods may apply to larger repairs such as engines or gearboxes. If something goes wrong with a part we repair within the warranty period, we will repair it free of charge. Your warranty terms are always stated on your invoice.

Do you work with original or aftermarket parts?

We work with both, depending on your preference and budget. We always use high-quality aftermarket parts from leading brands that are equal to or better than the original, but at a better price. For customers who specifically require original parts (OEM or OES), we can also supply them. We always provide honest advice on the best choice for your situation. For critical safety components, we always use quality parts from reputable brands.

Can I postpone a repair or is it urgent?

This depends heavily on the type of problem. Safety-critical issues such as faulty brakes, flat tires, broken lights, or steering problems must be repaired immediately – driving is then dangerous and illegal. Other problems, such as broken air conditioning, power windows, or small oil leaks, can often wait a while. Upon diagnosis, we always advise you whether a repair is urgent or can wait. Not sure? Call us for advice at 030 601 99 15.

Can I combine a repair with an MOT or maintenance?

Yes, that's very wise! If your car is in our workshop for an MOT or maintenance, we can carry out any repairs immediately. This saves you time and extra visits. MOT inspections often reveal minor defects that we can repair immediately, ensuring your car passes the test straight away. We can also replace wear parts preventatively during maintenance before they fail. Always ask about combination options for the best price.
