# ABP Rates (shared reference) Single source of truth for ABP Club retail and non-contract charges, so every Collision Engineers document quotes the same current figures instead of re-embedding rate tables. ## Contents - `references/abp-2026-rates.md` — the structured, queryable rate tables (labour, repair-plan fee, EV/hybrid, environmental/admin, ADAS, specialist operations, parts/consumables, paint-protection, mobility, regional uplift). - `references/abp2026.pdf` — the authoritative source document. ## Versioning The bundled rates are the **2026** edition (charges effective 1 January 2026). When the ABP Club publishes a new edition, add `references/abp-<year>-rates.md` + the new PDF alongside, update the banner, and point consumers at the new file. Do not silently overwrite — keep prior editions for matters assessed under them. See `docs/plans/agent-skills/option-papers/reference-data-versioning.md`. ## Usage Cite a specific rate by section and figure; do not paraphrase a rate from memory. For any charge in an estimate or fee note, the `abp-2026-rates` figure is canonical. Where a charge is time-based, apply the relevant labour rate; where it is a fixed fee, quote it directly. The regional uplift applies only to London and the home counties. ## Governance Assist / reference class — produces no client-facing output itself; the skills that consume it own their outputs and human sign-off.
