The hidden cost of repairs
The modern car is a reliable but highly sophisticated machine, with thousands of moving parts and individual components.This means that, should anything go wrong, the cost of repairs can come as an unpleasant surprise.
In fact, when labour charges are added, even the simplest problem can land you with a considerable bill, as the examples below show.
These were taken from a sample of over 17,000 vehicle repairs in 2009, and reflect average repair bills from various manufacturers throughout the country.
