What should that repair actually cost?

Real 2026 GTA numbers for the repairs people get quoted on every day — brakes, batteries, alternators, struts, wheel bearings, water pumps and more. What a fair shop range looks like, what drives the price, and what's a rip-off. No fear-mongering, no upsell. When you want it done, I come to your driveway in Mississauga, Oakville or Milton with one flat quote.
