The article presents considerations regarding the impact of EU regulations in the form of vertical agreements in the motor vehicle sector from the prohibition of agreements restricting competition to the costs of passenger car repairs in Poland. The considerations were supplemented with proprietary repairs of repair costs, covering the use of individual categories of spare parts in the processes of repairing selected passenger cars from four selected market segments. The intention of the article is to draw attention to the essence of the research issues undertaken by showing which price discrepancies occur between the given spare parts, which in the future may facilitate the answer to the question: application, which category of spare parts leads to the highest reduction of vehicle repair costs. The addressees of the presented re-search results are both repair workshops, private users and insurance companies.
