Car Repairs
The AA doesn't currently provide personal legal advice. If you're looking for personal advice on any matter relating to vehicle use, motoring offences, accidents or disputes with suppliers/garages we recommend contacting your local Citizen's Advice Bureau or other legal adviser in the first instance.
In our experience, most motoring legal questions relate to motoring offences, accidents and disputes with garages. The following pages cover the general points and most common issues that arise in disputes with garages, and may help you decide if you need further legal advice.
- Contract basics – express and implied terms
- The garage bill is too much – firm price or estimate?
- Additional garage work – make sure the garage is clear on the authorisation given
- Complaints – unhappy with garage repairs?
- Can the garage retain my car? – the garage's rights
- Dealing with a garage – basic dos and don'ts
