price range of working hours

The range of costs for the working hours of car mechanics, which are on average at 121 euros, is particularly remarkable. Here the hourly rates of 78 euros vary up to 150 euros. The prices for car boards and painters also present themselves with high differences that fluctuate between 129.60 euros and 222 euros. The AK reports that the prices have remained stable compared to the previous year.

The driver clubs also bring their own price structures. The Pickerl check for the ARBÖ costs 64.70 euros, while the ÖAMTC only pays 54.50 euros. For the working hours, ARBÖ offers a price of 86.40 euros in the first hour, which will then be increased to 115.20 euros. Important note: Discounts are often only available for members of the clubs.

The AK recommends that drivers require a written cost estimate before the order is placed. This should usually be free, unless the workshop informs you beforehand that a fee is incurred. In addition, the hourly rates are sometimes dependent on the brand, which means that they can vary depending on the car brand and model as well as the type of performance required. The Chamber of Labor also emphasizes that ambiguities regarding the invoices should be addressed immediately in order to clarify misunderstandings.
