Local repair costs
How Providence repair costs affect the comparison
At $142 per hour, Providence is $6 below the 50-metro median. That turns a full eight-hour workday into about $1,135 of labor before the shop adds parts.
The modeled dealer rate is $45 per hour above the independent rate. If the plan caps labor payments at the lower rate, you could owe the difference on an approved repair.
Providence has about 109 freezing days in a typical year. That can help you choose repairs to compare in the calculator, but it cannot predict which part will break.
