If you own a vehicle, you will probably be aware of how much car repairs can cost. Garages can charge upwards of £60 per hour labour fees and with the addition of the parts, any repair work can become very costly.

You may consider doing some of the repair work yourself, especially if you have a bit of knowledge about cars and how they work. Carrying out repairs yourself will certainly save you a huge bundle but there is an element of risk involved and if you do not know what you are doing then I would strongly recommend getting a professional to do it. You may end up causing more damage by trying to do it yourself.

You do not always have to take the car to a main dealership, you may find it cheaper to independent garage or a mobile mechanic who often charge a lot less in labour rates.
