Get a diagnosis before a big bill

A good repairer will tell you what's wrong and roughly what it'll cost before doing the work. Be cautious of anyone who wants to start (and charge) before explaining the fault.

Ask about parts and guarantees

Are they using new, used or aftermarket parts? Is there a guarantee on the repair? A short warranty shows they stand behind their work.

Lean on real reviews

Reviews from genuine customers on Pula Local tell you whether repairs actually last and whether prices were fair. Look for comments on honesty, not just speed.

Keep your receipt

Always get a receipt describing the work and the guarantee. It protects you if the same fault comes back.
