Motor Codes Announces The UK’s Best Garages

Regional Winners of Garage of the Year 2015

Motor Codes, the government-approved garage scheme, has revealed the UK's 11 most trusted garages, as voted by customers of its 8,000-strong garage network.

The shortlisted garages topped their regions following a three-month-long round of customer nominations. The competition highlights the best-rated garages in each of the regions, and is an opportunity for motorists to recognise the excellent workmanship and first class customer service available from garages right across the country.

Motor Codes' online garage finder at motorcodes.co.uk holds thousands of online customer reviews, allowing consumers to find their closest, trusted government-approved garages wherever they are. This in turn has helped drive up the quality of service and customer care across the whole industry.

Mark Terry, Managing Director of Motor Codes, said, "Motor Codes garages are providing first class service to motorists right across the UK, and we're delighted to have this opportunity to celebrate the best in the business. These 11 regional winners are great ambassadors for the industry and they should be rightly proud of their achievement."

Motorists who submitted reviews during the competition period have been entered into a prize draw to win a number of exhilarating driving days on offer, including an Ultimate Supercar Driving experience at Thruxton.

The overall Garage of the Year - the 'best of the best' - will be announced at the prestigious Auto ExpressCar of the Year Awards on 30 June 2015.
