First to the TÜV and then specifically to the workshop
If again the TÜV is due, I can give you the tip always to drive first to an official TÜV body, instead of having it done in a workshop.
Often there is played with the fear of the car owner that the car does not come through the TÜV and money earned. In addition, the workshop then gives a TÜV pass guarantee, so everything is made that the car comes through, sounds great first, but this is almost a free ticket for the workshop to repair or replace anything that is not really necessary - is me already happened in the past.
The re-inspection at the TÜV costs only 25 euros and is out of proportion to some hundreds of euros, which one pays in the workshop, by "Kann" repairs.
In summary: Directly to the TÜV and defects can then be repaired specifically, which can save enormous costs.
