Many women dread visiting male dominated garages because they often feel ill at ease there.

Which is a shame because some of them are more female friendly than others; employing women in customer facing roles and offering time saving car collection and courtesy hire services. But how do you decide which garage to trust in terms of their professionalism, value for money and genuinely warm welcome?

A good way to start is to pick a business that has signed the female friendly FOXY Promise© to 'never overcharge, patronise or sell services women don't need or want'. Depending on their FOXY Choice listing you can then see which ones employ female staff, have ATA, BSI or OFT quality credentials, are near shops or promise clean waiting rooms, washrooms and suitable magazines. You can then email them for a quote before making your final garage choice.

The FOXY message is clear! Women don't need to put up with second rate garages any more.

Just look out for the FOXY logo for a female friendly welcome, quality workmanship, value for money prices and clean facilities.
