FOXY's Good Garage Guide for women drivers

Leading UK garage networks
(you may not have heard of)

Copyright ©2008 by Stephanie Savill, Founder of FOXY Lady Drivers Club

Many independent garages join a motor trade body and are happy to go it alone, with their support.

Increasingly, good garages are deciding to join a leading garage network as well, to share benefits like training courses, branded marketing initiatives, the latest legal advice and business support.

The UK networks listed here recruit garages based on their demonstrable commitment to quality and professionalism - not all who apply are therefore eligible.

AutoCare Service

A new and growing network of UK garages and part of the Group Auto Union International EuroGarage programme with more than 5000 garages across Europe.

Bosch Car Service

The only UK garage network to operate an OFT approved Code of Practice for car service and repair work. Bosch is a well known household name and supplier of automotive technology, domestic appliances, heating products, power tools and garden equipment.

Unipart Car Care Centre

Unipart Car Care Centres form a network of over 1,200 independent garages supported by a nationwide guarantee and a customer service pledge.

NB: If you choose a business listed by FOXY Choice www.foxychoice.com they will have signed the FOXY Promise stating "We strive to be a female friendly business and will never knowingly overcharge, patronise or sell our customers services they do not need or want."

If any listed business subsequently disappoints, FOXY will record and monitor the resolution of a complaint, reserving the ultimate right to suspend or de-list a business, depending on the severity of an allegation or a 'couldn't care less' attitude towards customer concerns.
