What is the typical fee?
The national range is R$100–R$200. The fee usually covers travel and diagnosis; many companies credit it against the repair if you proceed — always ask before booking. Brazil has no single national VAT on appliance-repair labour: the service is taxed by the municipal ISS (Imposto Sobre Serviços), with a rate set by each city between 2% and 5% (Lei Complementar nº 116/2003); parts and materials used in the repair are instead taxed separately by state ICMS. Many independent technicians or small registered businesses (MEI) do not itemize this tax in a quote — treat any percentage as a ceiling, never a guaranteed add-on.
