“As our research highlights, when it comes to service and repair, the motor industry historically has a bad reputation in the eye of the consumer when it comes to cost. Despite there being many very good UK garages, the public’s bad experiences with some has brought about a lack of trust. The launch of our Golden Garages competition aims to champion the great garages across Britain, so that consumers know they can place their trust once more in their local workshops.” Chris Mason is director of Motor Codes Limited and is a Fellow of the Institute of the Motor Industry. He heads up Motor Codes to provide an industry standard seal of approval for reputable garages so that consumers can be confident they are receiving a high level of service without being ripped off. And with over 6,200 garages subscribed and a 91% satisfaction rate from customers visiting those garages, as well as the support of the Department for Transport, Motor Codes is fast becoming a household name.
