Servicing rates for UK garages can be more than twice as expensive in some places, a recent survey from whatcar has revealed
Elsewhere, in Leeds and Oldham the average hourly labour rate is £78, but just 20 miles away in Huddersfield it’s £47. In fact, according to the survey, the West Yorkshire market town is the UK’s cheapest place to have a car serviced.
The What Car? research also showed that the UK’s average labour rate is £76 per hour. This is a significant increase on the average hourly rate of £47 that a survey by the Independent Garage Association found to be the case in 2020. Within the M25, the same survey found the highest hourly rate was £55, or £86 less than the highest rate today.
Nevertheless, ex-garage owner Andy Savva, a consultant who trains and advises garages and who is known in the trade as The Garage Inspector, says today’s average labour rate is still not high enough to support a business. “I coach thousands of garage staff and the single biggest mistake they make is to align their hourly labour rates with local rivals – this despite their very different costs, skills and facilities,” he said. “Their explanation is that if they don’t, they will be uncompetitive and lose business. However, on average it costs around £60 per hour just to operate a typical garage with all its running and fixed costs.
