How long does it take to fix a car?
My car is currently in the shop for repairs due to a lack of maintenance. I could not get an estimate from my auto repair shop. How long should it take to fix my car?

Adhering to a
basic car maintenance schedule
is essential to keeping your car running and out of the auto repair shop. On average, it takes 12 days to fix your car. However, the length of time it takes to fix your car will depend on several factors, including:
- Extent of damage
- Hidden internal damages
- Ordering and delivering parts
Even if the damage is severe, you’ll want to reach out to the shop or mechanic if the repairs take longer than two weeks. Even a busy shop should have most vehicles fixed by then. It’s always inconvenient if you can’t drive your car because it’s stuck in a shop, so you’ll want to stay on top of what repairs are happening and how long they should take.
Car maintenance is an expensive part of car ownership. Cut car ownership costs and find savings with
