£ per hour of car labour

[guari]

Hi.

I live in Edinburgh and one indy charges around £70 for 1 hour of his time.

Is this too much, too little? Anyone care to share how much you pay for the hour?

Thanks

I think that's expensive, south wales rates are around £50-55 ph

In Aberdeenshire you are around £35-£40 per hour

All different down here. Got one garage that charges £45ph and another that's £75ph . All depends , who , what they are I guess .

Good God what for?

I take it that's a main dealer?

 

[AlexK1]

Yeah that would be Peugeot main dealer, and that's not the most expensive in our area. Think Mercedes and Audi are above £110 p/h + vat

£880 a day for a (sometimes) skilled fitter. FFS. There Are times when I'm really grateful my dad gave be a toolbox to go with my first car and told me to get on with it.

If someone tried to charge me that at work I'd take them off the books!

On the other hand many of those cars will be company or lease cars. I'd be fascinated to know what the dealer charges a lease company an hour. I bet it's not £110.

They do reduced rates depending on the account eg retail, warranty or a lease company. Think it can reduce down to about £60-70 p/h.

£30 p/h in Dereham and its a good garage too! Plus only £35 MOT. Northampton more pricey hence why I keep away!

 

[HFStuart]

Where in Dereham? That's close enough to my work to make it worthwhile!

£65 p/h for an independent specialist or £109 p/h at the local dealer here in Gwynedd, North Wales.

Thanks for sharing, good to compare to what everyone else is paying. I'lll definitely keep an open eye as I think 70+ per hour is a bit too much. The shop is very convenient, but well...

Come to my place of work and pay £85 p/h and you'll likely get me working on your car. we're a main vw group dealer with 3 master techs and an apprentice.

or nip round the corner to bmw and pay £130!

I know Midland VW (live right by them lucky me) charge £60/hr which is great as they specialise in VAGs. Also theyre very, very honest which is rare for most garages nowadays
