Car workshops in Iceland

Car workshops in Iceland

In every major town there is a car repair shop or someone who can repair a car. Icelanders drive almost exclusively off-road vehicles, in winter they are often cut off from the large cities and have to deal with it themselves. It is good to have assistance insurance - in case of technical problems, also on mountain roads, it guarantees that a qualified mechanic or a tow truck will come to you, which will take you to a workshop that will definitely repair our vehicle. The cost of car repairs is not higher than the cost in mainland Europe. Icelandic mechanics are more efficient and definitely faster than French, Austrian or German mechanics. Delivery of parts for cars, even to remote places, is extremely efficient: using a VIN-number, a car workshop connects to a dealer in Reykjavik. - Within 24 hours, the necessary parts are delivered by plane and this is not an expensive service. We have experienced complicated defects of the entire steering system during travels in Iceland, which were repaired within 36 hours, counting not only the time of repair but also the time of bringing a part weighing several dozen kilograms from Reykjavik, located over 600 km away.
