Frequently asked questions

How much does a alternator kia sportage cost?

At an independent garage, expect £260 to £650, parts and labour included. Main dealer: £340 – £985.

What is book time?

It is the reference time set for a given job. Garages bill that time even if they work faster. If a quote shows far more hours than book time, ask why. Kia Sportage: 1.5 – 2.5 h.

Why is the dealer more expensive?

Dealer hourly rates run 40 to 60% higher on average, and genuine parts cost more than their original-equipment equivalents. Under EU rules, servicing outside the dealer network does not void the manufacturer warranty.
