The first answer
Check for the European Repair Information Form before relying on that period.
Identify the document
The Commission describes a standard form for comparing repair offers. The 30-day rule is tied to a repairer choosing to provide it, not every quote.
Check the national context
The directive required national rules to apply from July 31, 2026. Save the form and check the relevant national rules for a dispute.
Separate the future platform
The European online repair platform is foreseen for January 2028. That timetable does not mean the platform is operating now.
Before accepting
- Confirm which form the repairer supplied.
- Keep its stated conditions.
- Treat the platform timetable separately.
