Here we look at how long a car is off the road in terms of hours to repair. This figure will give you an idea as to whether it is the cost of the parts or the labour which makes your car more or less expensive to repair. With labour rates on some makes reaching £90 per hour you need to know where the costs will occur.
Manufacturer Ratings
All of Warranty Direct’s 50,000 live policies are used to build up a particular manufacturer’s ratings into one figure that should expose whether cars from this stable are generally reliable – or maybe not! Perhaps most models lack in a certain area, Audis suspensions might be a case in point. Any manufacturer can introduce the occasional misfit but this rating might give you the confidence to consider a later model edition or an alternative model from the same marque – or satisfy your general misgivings and encourage you to look elsewhere! Due to this being an average a single high or low scoring model can disproportionately affect the result however.
