Garages4You have more local outlets across Scotland than Kwik Fit.
We are proud to announce that Garages4You now has more local centres available to motorists across Scotland than the major chains like Kwik Fit and Nationwide.
It has taken time to secure the best centres in Scotland but it is important to supply our customers with only the best local garages that share our vision and values.
Managing Director Greg Allison said "It is fantastic we have reached this milestone. We have been working very hard to achieve this goal and now that we have it is an excellent reward for our hard working team."
"I strongly believe that we are the exciting new alternative to the high street garage chains. Not only do we have more local outlets but most importantly we can offer motorists more competitive online prices and a far better standard of service. We give them the confidence of dealing with a national brand but at the same time receiving a unique personal and local service from our approved Garages4You stores."
Garages4You.com Featured on GMTV money saving expert Martin Lewis's website
Two weeks ago we were featured on Martin Lewis's website from GMTV. We have been inundated since then with requests from motorists all over the UK who are supporting our service and anticipating its launch in their local area. We want to thank everyone who has contacted us over the last two weeks and it has been fantastic to read all the positive feedback regarding the service we are building.
Our managing director Greg Allison has been taking the time to reply personally to each email we have received. Greg said "I really enjoy speaking to our customers directly as it allows me to see exactly what people think of our service. The interest has been so great that we doubled our membership numbers in only a few hours after the article appeared on Martin's website."
"I think to be featured on Martin's website shows all our customers what we are trying to achieve with our service and it is a great reward for the business at this stage of its growth to win this kind of recognition. I have been active on the MoneySavingExpert.com website replying to all the questions raised and giving his users further information on our service."
"I am really pleased to see some of the motorists who have used our service have taken the time to post on Martin's site and feedback on our service. I am delighted that their experience was positive and it is very rewarding for all our team to win more satisfied customers."

Meeting Sir Tom Farmer
Our Managing Director and founder Greg Allison got the fantastic opportunity recently for a one to one meeting with Sir Tom Farmer, founder of Kwik Fit one of the largest automotive companies in the world to talk to him about our business.
Greg visited Sir Tom at his office in Edinburgh. It gave us the chance to tell one of the most experienced people in the automotive repair industry about what we are trying to achieve with Garages4You.com. Sir Tom showed a great interest in the service and was impressed with the progress we have made to date.
Greg said "It was great that Sir Tom took the time out of his very busy schedule to meet and talk to me about my business"
"Sir Tom offered some truly excellent advice and feedback on our service and many of the recommendations he put forward we have already put into place."
"I have great respect for what Sir Tom has achieved in the automotive industry and I am delighted someone of his experience has given his input into the business I am building"
We hope Greg will meet again soon with Sir Tom to update him on our rapid progress and seek more of his invaluable help and advice as we continue to grow our service.
Garages4You.com Launches New Website
Today we launched our brand new website. The website has been in development for sometime and much of the new changes and ideas are based directly on the feedback from our existing customers. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of them for their time and help.
Much of the site has been completely redesigned and we have a new smarter quoting system. Greg Allison Managing Director and founder said today "We wanted to get things right so we have invested a great deal of time into the redevelopment of the website and I am absolutely thrilled with the final results."
"It is a massive step forward for the company and shows the direction the business is going. I think the new layout and design makes it far easier for our customers to access the vital information they need and quicker."
"We tried to put an element of fun into things with the new design and I think we have achieved that. We are 100% serious about getting our customers great exclusive deals and exceptional service but our customers have told us that arranging their servicing, repairs and MOT can be a little on the dull side. So we wanted to liven the process up a little by adding some fun designs to our site. I hope that our customers like it"
We would really like to hear your thoughts on our new website and our Managing Director Greg will take the time to reply personally to all emails we receive.
