| Women
are increasingly shopping for car servicing, MOT's and repair
work for their family cars.
But too few realise that:
• garages don't have to be licensed
• mechanics don't have to be qualified
• complaints about garage workmanship are commonplace
• women are often overcharged and patronised
• garages are often male dominated environments where
women can feel ill at ease
So how can female motorists tell which local independent
garage, fastfit centre, accident repair centre or franchised
dealership is the right one for them and a female friendly
business they can trust?
To begin with, FOXY Lady Drivers Club requires garages to
sign the FOXY Promise to:
'never overcharge, patronise or
sell women services they don't need'.
Many garages then promote offers to Club members via the
exclusive members area of this website and encourages all
female feedback.
Finally FOXY monitors each garage's performance and reviews
this on an annual basis. |
