FOXY’s Good Garage Guide for women drivers

Leading UK garage and accident repair centre (ARC) networks you may not have heard of.

written by Steph Savill, Founder of FOXY Lady Drivers Club

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

Increasingly, good garages and accident repairers join a well known and specialist network to attract more business and share benefits like training courses, branded marketing initiatives, the latest legal advice and business support.

The UK networks listed here recruit garages and accident repair centres based on their demonstrable commitment to quality and professionalism.
