ACC UK Ltd, Winners of The Independent Garage of the Year 2015, Servicing, Repair & MOT Specialists based in the heart of Farnborough, Hampshire like
to give you hints and tips on maintaining your Volvo or Toyota to help reduce breakdowns and expensive car repair bills.
The blog this week is based around what the costs could be if you skip your annual servicing for our Volvo or Toyota drivers.
We know that when money’s short it really can be tempting to skip servicing your Volvo or Toyota. However you really do run a high risk of having more
expensive repair costs further down the line. The average cost of a basic car service on your Volvo or Toyota is around £125 – you will see below that
this cost is far smaller than the cost you will need to pay if one of the below happens due to neglecting your annual service. Yes we understand that
some of your services will be way more because there are more parts that need replacing as they come to the end of their life, however the costs will
still come in less than having to replace failed parts and labour after the breakdown/failure has occurred. The service schedule of your Volvo or Toyota
needs to be maintained as parts that get changed are changed because they have come to the end of their life.
See below as an example of costs:
- engine exchange – from £2,575
- cylinder head gasket – from £520
- new radiator – from £430
- new water pump – from £240
If you were to go to a Dealership these costs will escalate as the average cost of an hourly labour rate from a dealership is £90+ , from an Independent Garage the average hourly rate is £60, here at ACC UK Ltd we are lower than that! So cost savings can be had by
using a local Independent Garage.
