Two Welsh garages are in Britain’s top 20.
Toyota World Bridgend has been voted best franchised garage and the independent honour has gone to A1 Motorcare of Rumney, Cardiff, after customers rated them the best in Wales.
Motor Codes, the operator of government-backed codes of practice for the motor industry, has revealed the 20 most trusted garages in the UK, as nominated by the public.
Reflecting on what the competition means for car owners, Chris Mason, managing director of Motor Codes, sees it as a step towards wiping out the stereotypical minefield of the cowboy-garage past and as a way of letting motorists know where to find a good garage.
“This shows exactly where people should look for a garage. For a risk-free experience, with back-up from the Motor Codes independent advice line, choose an approved code subscriber,” he said.
The overall champions – the franchised main dealer and independent Garage of the Year – will be announced at a celebratory event held at the Motor Codes headquarters on 10 April.
