In the latest non-story in the silly season, Auto Express has "discovered" that some garages are more expensive than others.

How can this even be news ?
No **** ? The rates for a (probably) franchised garage for an upmarket brand are several times those for a backstreet garage. Is anyone at all surprised by this ?
My local garage here in rural Wales charges £25 an hour (there is no V.A.T. they are not V.A.T. registered) but then again they don't provide a comfortable waiting area or courtesy car (although they will pick up/drop off locally) and they don't have an attractive and efficient receptionist to make your bookings and tell you when your car is ready.
Their staff are not kept up to date with the latest innovations (but then again they don't need to be in order to service the cars they encounter), they don't have all the latest workshop equipment.

The highest hourly rate for repair work was £240 at a garage in Surrey, according to research by Auto Express and Warrantywise. The lowest rate was just £36 an hour at a garage in Birmingham. |
