FAQ
Can a mechanic in Costa Rica work on imported cars?
Many can. Confirm the brand and model before you book — some pros specialize in European, Japanese, or American imports and can source parts.
Who handles vehicle registration and import paperwork?
Car brokers on Arriva coordinate purchase, import, registration, and plates. Message them to get a quote before you commit to a vehicle.
How does Arriva verify pros in Costa Rica?
Every pro on Arriva goes through government ID verification, reference checks, and — where the service requires it — business license and credential review. Ongoing review moderation keeps profiles honest after they go live.
Does Arriva take a commission from the pro?
No. Arriva doesn't take any commission from the pro. You and the pro agree on the price and pay each other directly off-platform. Arriva only charges a small one-time fee to reveal a pro's direct contact details after your free monthly reveals.
