What is the typical fee?
The national range is €45–€90. The fee usually covers travel and diagnosis; many companies credit it against the repair if you proceed — always ask before booking. VAT (btw, 21%) may or may not be included: many sole traders (zzp'ers) and small repair firms fall under the €20,000 KOR small-business threshold and charge no VAT, so treat 21% as a ceiling, not a guaranteed add-on.
