Two recent research surveys have put independent local service and repair garages in pole position for service and value.

Independent vehicle service and mechanical repair network myFavouriteGarage.com has boosted its fleet business by 530 per cent over the past 12 months, as fleet managers have turned increasingly to independent service garages to help them reduce operating costs.

Research by motoring organisations over recent weeks has shown that many of the larger car makers have increased car prices by up to 14 per cent since last autumn - meaning that hard-pressed British motorists, who were being wooed back into the market by the government-backed scrappage scheme, are having to think again about ways to save money.

Credit-crunched motorists who have been putting off routine servicing and necessary repairs to cut costs(1) could make much bigger long-term savings by getting the work done, says vehicle servicing network myFavouriteGarage.com.

Independent vehicle service and mechanical repair network myFavouriteGarage.com is putting its full weight behind the current campaign to encourage service garages to sign up to industry quality programmes such as the Motor Industry Code of Practice for Service and Repair.
