Chevrolet is currently leader of the pack with a score of just 20.00 (the lower the score, the better the reliability and lower the cost), while Honda’s score stands at 30.00. In addition, Chevrolet also tops the charts for repair costs at £195.14 per repair claim, beating its nearest rival Fiat by over £40. The american brand also claims the lowest ‘time-off-the-road’ in terms of repairs, with an average of 1.41 days per claim to repair, while the second placed holder Suzuki’s score is 1.67 days.
“Honda has held the top spot in our overall manufacturer’s reliability table for many months, so for Chevrolet to knock them off their perch is a major coup. You have to bear in mind that we do not hold as many policies on Chevrolets as Honda models but, nevertheless, the data we do have clearly shows that Chevrolets are trustworthy vehicles,” said Warranty Direct’s Managing Director, Duncan McClure-Fisher.
“It’s a real testimonial to the quality and reliability of our vehicles that we’re leading the Reliability Index. But more than that, the finer data such as time of repair and average repair costs goes to show that our passion for providing customers with real-world value goes beyond the initial purchase of the car. Our dealers are clearly making an effort to minimise the disruption of any repairs to our customers, and helping them keep their cost down at a time when we’re all watching our pennies,” added Chevrolet UK Managing Director, Mark Terry.
