Al Preston, co-founder of WhoCanFixMyCar.com, said: “It’s always interesting to find out which areas in the UK are the most expensive when it comes to car repairs.

“It’s come as a bit of a surprise to us that London isn’t in the top 10, however that’s probably because there is more competition there than somewhere like Cornwall, which will often drive down the average cost.

“I think many assume that garages have a flat rate dependent on the repair, but it’s not always as simple as that, it just depends how much damage there is, how much the parts cost and how much labour time is needed.

“Regardless of the reasons or the most and least expensive areas to get your car repaired, we would always encourage savvy motorists to use WhoCanFixMyCar.com so they compare quotes and reviews to make an informed choice.”

    I’m not surprised I’m in cornwall and can confirm that it’s more expensive here. Why ? simple economics, their are less customers per garage in cornwall, yet the garage still has to have all the same equipment as other parts of the country which by the way costs more because of transport limitations and cornwall council insist on over the top rate-able values, further to this parts suppliers charge more for parts and take longer to supply because of the geography and holiday makers clogging up the infrastructure.
