I owned almost a dozen Dacia's, but not the Logan. I never got to a car shop for any repairs until I had one with warranty, otherwise I was doing all the repairs on my own, including engine rebuilds and even a chassis swap (brand new car totalled in a crash, bough a new chassis and swapped every single part to it). So, labor was cheap, parts were cheap, cost of ownership was cheap :)

Sounds like you are not valuing your time.

  I was a poor student at that time with no opportunities, fixing my car was cheaper than paying someone else to do it: my time was tax free (50% tax on labor).

  I’ve found that for basic service stuff it takes less time and cost than futzing with garages.

Yeah mine is doing ok (2018 Duster). Hasn’t needed anything major doing to it other than tyres brakes and normal service stuff. Driving it to Iceland this year from UK via Norway so will probably kill it at some point.
