Is there a database of maintenance costs?
Is there any publication that informs us of the frequency and servicing costs for different makes and models . I ask as l have been quoted £700 for a small Volvo PHEV for its second two year service, with only 13,000 miles on the clock.
I'm not aware of any universal database that provides this information for every make and model of car. But as a general rule, it's important to note that a car's servicing and maintenance costs will always reflect the vehicle's costs when it was new. You could trim the maintenance costs by using an independent garage, but it's important to understand the pros and cons of this approach as it may impact the warranty status of the car: good-garage-guide.honestjohn.co.uk/how-to-guides/s.../
