One Month Waiting Time: Why Mallorca's Auto Repair Shops Are Overloaded

Answer

Why do car repairs take longer in Mallorca than many people expect?

The main reasons are a shortage of trained mechanics, limited apprenticeship capacity at smaller workshops, and rising costs for parts and operations. Independent garages often struggle to keep staff, while larger dealer groups attract more trainees and applicants. That combination leaves fewer hands available for everyday repairs.
