Average repair costs rose to over £2,900 in December, a six per cent increase on the same month in 2022, according to data released by Trend Tracker.
It found that with the Christmas break, the number of repairs in the month fell from November tracking at 97% of the total number of repairs in December 2022.
Meanwhile, both lead and cycle times increased by two days from November due to restricted Christmas hours.
The data snapshot comes as Trend Tracker prepares to launch its full annual report in the coming weeks. To find out more email: enquiries@trendtracker.co.uk
