And if these pieces are at the front, expect a particularly salty note. This is confirmed by the latest SRA (Security and Automobile Security and Repair, which brings together car insurance companies operating in France), relayed by the magazine L’Argus. According to this data, the average cost of repair has increased by 25.7% in five years. And the most expensive cost of the vehicle, unsurprisingly, is the front, where the most expensive engine and equipment are located. However, it is also the part most exposed to risks, since it concerns 45% of claims. “It is enough of a post” and between the lighthouse, the indicators, the fog light, the bumper … “We will be on a repair which can arrive very quickly at 5000 euros” explains to reporters of TF1 Celso de Araujo, manager of the Garage des Longrais in Saint-Grégoire. A client on site confirms: “We had to redo the whole front. And it is true that it cost me a little more than 3000 euros. Just change the tires, the drain … “, but even” a very small repair is not given “. The repair of a windshield cost 14.4% more expensive in 2024 compared to 2020, that of a 9.6% hood, that of the shield grid 8.7% and that of the grille 8.3% details TF1.
