Why was I charged more than expected?

Why Was I Charged the Incorrect Amount? I was overcharged for my car repair—how do I fix this? The mechanic charged me more than the estimate—what should I do?

If you believe you were charged the wrong amount for your booking, there are a few reasons this may have happened.

Possible Reasons & What to Do:

1.Pre-Authorisation Hold – Some banks show a temporary hold before finalizing the payment. Check if the final charge matches your invoice.

2.Additional Work Approved – If you agreed to extra repairs, these would be added to your total.

3.Price Adjustment – If parts, VAT, or other factors changed after inspection, your final cost may differ.

4.Duplicate Charge – If you see multiple charges, check if one is a pending transaction that will drop off.

How to Resolve It:

•Check your ClickMechanic invoice for any updates.

•Review your bank statement for pending vs. final charges.

•Contact your mechanic, support or ask for an agent if you believe you were overcharged.
