Frequently asked questions
How much does a fuel pump cost?
At an independent garage, expect £190 to £530, parts and labour included. Main dealer: £250 – £820.
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.
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. Book time: 1 – 2.5 h.
