Question
This week, I damaged the car of an avrech. The damage ranges from a few hundred to a few thousand shekels, depending on which garage does the repair. Now, the avrech explicitly told me that he is going to fix it in an unofficial garage (a few hundred shekels), yet he charged me the price of an official garage (a difference of a few thousand). I would like to know if, according to Halacha, I can ask him for a refund of the difference.
Answer
