Motor Codes, the provider of OFT-approved codes of practice for car service and repair and new car sales, has published the top 50 nominated garages in the UK as voted for by consumers.
The listing is part of its havoline-backed Garage of the Year contest at www.garageoftheyear.co.uk.
Chris Mason, managing director at Motor Codes said, "The main purpose of Motor Codes is to point motorists in the direction of responsible businesses, committed to our transparent customer service guidelines.
“We want people to be able to choose where to trust their car with confidence and what better way to make people aware of consistently good businesses than letting customers shout about the good guys?"
Consumers are able to search from almost 7,000 Motor Codes garages using an online garage finder at www.motorcodes.co.uk.
The shortlisted finalists in the Garage of the Year competition are split by business size, with entrants battling it out to take the prize of best small and large garage.
Voting closes on 22 April after which the judges will select the overall winners.
Motorists voting in the competition are in with a chance of winning a year's free servicing, worth up to £1,000 and tickets to the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
