7. Insurance

Insurance Coverage: Your costs will depend on your insurance policy, including your deductible and what your policy covers. If your insurance allows only aftermarket parts, that could reduce the repair costs.

8. Location

Geographic Variation: Repair costs can vary significantly based on where you live. Urban areas generally have higher labor costs, which can increase the overall repair bill.
