I need to get my starter repaired. How long will it take at dealership?
I have 2008 Volkswagen Golf. Engine won't start when I turn the key, but everything else works fine (lights, radio, air). I need to get it fixed tomorrow (under warranty)
How long it takes to actually diagnose and repair the problem depends. Diagnosis cold take a minute or an hour. If they have the part, it should take at least an hour. You may also have to compete with other cars in the shop, so tell them you want to
