London not the most expensive city…for car repairs
That’s right, whatever stereotypes are associated with London, it is actually only the 4th most expensive city in the UK when it comes to car repairs.
The data has been gathered by car servicing and repair comparison site Whocanfixmycar.com, who have studied over 320,000 quotes from garages all over the United Kingdom. The data has revealed the average cost of car repairs in our 20 biggest cities.
Oddly, Coventry has been revealed as the most expensive place in the country to get your car repaired, with northern cities Bradford and Sheffield also having more expensive average prices.
The top five most expensive cities to get your car repaired:
- Coventry – £290.52
- Bradford – £284.13
- Sheffield – £259.89
- London – £250.71
- (Joint 5th) Bristol & Brighton – £246.50
The data shows little to suggest that there is a north-south divide when it comes to the average price of car servicing and repairs in the UK.
The top five cheapest cities to get your car repaired:
- Glasgow – £176.27
- Birmingham – £183.90
- (Joint 3rd) Liverpool & Edinburgh – £195.87
- Leeds – £196.94
- Leicester – £202.64
Louis Butcher, Digital Marketing Manager from WhoCanFixMyCar.com says: “We wanted to look at our data to give the UK an idea of the differences there are from city to city. It’s actually very interesting to see that some cities have over £100 in difference of costs, with some of those cities being located so close to one another.
“It’s very interesting also that we see no trend by region either, with prices varying from city to city. The clearest indications of this are Coventry (£290.52) and Birmingham (£183.90), which are only located 20 miles away from each, and Bradford (£284.13) and Leeds (£196.94), which are only 10 miles away from each other, yet are vastly different in servicing and repairs averages”.
