Repair costs are comparable to Japanese, and parts are easy to get on the net. Local parts availability varies, but generally isn't as good as the more popular brands. As with most manufacturers, dealer prices are ridiculous - usually 150 ~ 200% of the same OEM part from independent sources.

I buy almost all my parts from shops with web sales such as Blau, ECS and German Filters.
