What changes the price

On the Fiat 500, access takes on average 10% less time than the average for its class (city car), where the range is £595 – £1,370.

A failed turbo is rarely the only culprit: oil starvation, sludge, air leaks. A serious quote includes a new oil feed pipe and a root-cause check, otherwise the new turbo can fail too.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a turbocharger fiat 500 cost?

At an independent garage, expect £575 to £1,315, parts and labour included. Main dealer: £745 – £1,995.

What is book time?

It is the reference time set for a given job. Garages bill that time even if they work faster. If a quote shows far more hours than book time, ask why. Fiat 500: 2.5 – 5.5 h.

Why is the dealer more expensive?

Dealer hourly rates run 40 to 60% higher on average, and genuine parts cost more than their original-equipment equivalents. Under EU rules, servicing outside the dealer network does not void the manufacturer warranty.
