Scottish garages named in Motor Code scheme

SCOTLAND’S most trusted garages, Helensburgh Toyota and Firstdrive Cars in Stonehaven, have been named in the UK Government’s Motor Codes scheme to drive up standards among car repair and servicing firms.

The Argyll and Aberdeenshire companies are the Scottish large and small firm finalists in the latest Garage of the Year contest “to help motorists find reliable garages that offer consistently good customer service”.

Motor Codes managing director Chris Mason said: “It’s clear to see from the tremendous level of support for the competition – we received double the number of votes compared to last year – that motorists value simple, good old fashioned customer service.

“The car service and repair business is a two-way relationship, with word of mouth important for garages and consumer confidence.

“Garage of the Year gives people a formal way of showing their appreciation, at the same time as letting other motorists know where to find the garage good guys.”

Motor Codes offers a postcode-driven garage finder on its website: www.motorcodes.co.uk
