The average cost of car repairs in France has increased between 2024 and 2025, with garages seeing a rise in their turnover despite a decrease in the number of visits. According to the Mobilians-Solware barometer published on February 23, 2026, the average repair bill reached 400 euros last year. Mechanical workshops experienced a 2.7% increase in their average bill to 403 euros, while bodywork shops saw a 4.3% rise to 1,705 euros. This trend is attributed to more technical interventions, the aging car fleet (averaging 12.3 years old in 2025), and the increasing complexity of electric vehicle repairs requiring advanced diagnostic equipment.
