What pushes the price up or down
The single biggest factor is the fault itself, but four things move the number within each band. Door size matters because a double door uses heavier, paired springs and a stronger motor, which adds roughly 40 per cent to a spring or motor job. Urgency matters because an emergency same-day or after-hours call-out carries a priority premium. Access matters on steep Hills driveways and tight inner-city frontages. And corrosion matters near the coast, where marine-grade replacement hardware costs more than standard parts but lasts far longer.
Why coastal repairs cost more
In the salt-air belt from Port Adelaide out to Henley Beach and down to Hallett Cove, springs, tracks and fixings corrode years earlier than they do inland. That means more coastal repairs need corrosion-resistant replacement parts, which sit at the top of each range. It is worth paying for near the water, because standard hardware fails again within a few years.
