What changes the price

On the Peugeot 208, access takes on average 5% less time than the average for its class (city car), where the range is £85 – £190.

Stop-start cars need an EFB or AGM battery, which costs more. On many recent models (BMW, Audi, Mercedes) the new battery must be registered with the control unit.

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. Peugeot 208: 0.2 – 0.5 h.
