I had my laptop repaired at a local store. The lady said that her lump sum is 59 euro. If the price is now at, for example, 90 euro, I can then cancel it so that I don't have to pay anything.
Paschal certainly means in this context that these "flat fees" are the basic fee. Spare parts are charged extra.
It is customary for the workshop to provide the customer with a cost estimate that is as detailed as possible before the work is carried out.
I think in this context a lump sum means something like "estimated amount", i.e. How much the repair costs estimated.
If the amount after the repair is 90 euro, then you just pay the lump sum 59 euro. Unless something else has been agreed and you pay the difference in addition.
A lump sum is a fixed price. The repair always costs € 59.00 regardless of how long the mechanic needs to do it. Spare parts are usually extra
Thank you
