Everything we do puts you first. We’re committed to high-quality comparison that gives you total freedom to choose the right garage for your needs.

Because that way, we can help more drivers secure the hassle-free car maintenance they deserve.

Here are just a few of the things we do to help you find the best car repairs near you.

We Provide Comprehensive Sort and Filter Options to Help You Find Your Perfect Car Repair Quicker

Every vehicle is unique, so there’s no such thing as ‘one-size-fits-all’ car repairs. With every driver needing different things from their perfect garage, ‘one-size-fits-all’ comparison doesn’t work either.

Whether you need to book an appointment at your nearest garage or want the highest rated or cheapest car repair near you, we’re here to help you find them without breaking a sweat.

And with all this control available at the touch of a button, you can find the right repair in seconds to get back to doing what you love in no time at all.

We Offer Around the Clock Booking to Reduce Your Stress Levels Sooner

Your car doesn’t only develop problems between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday, so we believe you should be able to book a repair outside these hours as well.

Not least because you’re busy enough during the week without having to worry about sorting an appointment at a local garage!

That’s why we offer 24/7 booking through our comparison site, allowing you to book your car in for a repair even if local garages are shut.

And that means you stop stressing sooner having taken positive action to get your problem sorted.

We Provide a Wealth of Verified Information to Help You Choose with Confidence

You want a local garage you can trust, and we want you to find a go-to option for years to come. That’s why we show as many verified, unfiltered reviews as possible on each listing, allowing you to make your choice based on genuine experiences real people had at each garage.

We also reward the very best UK garages with one of our Tier badges – but only after they’ve met and maintained strict eligibility criteria. These Silver, Gold and Top Tier badges highlight which garages are dedicated to going above and beyond for you.

So, when you choose one of these for your car repair, you’ll get an even higher quality experience.

And, as we only work with UK garages that match our high standards of customer service and car care, when you make a booking through BookMyGarage.com, you’ll always drive away satisfied.

We Work with a Range of UK Garages who Make Your Car Repairs as Convenient as Possible

Not everyone can find time in their busy lives to get their car to a local garage – and not every car is driveable when it needs a repair!

That’s why we work with a growing network of mobile mechanics to offer mobile car repairs near you. These technicians offer a range of repairs on your driveway, making them the perfect choice if your car won’t start. Just select ‘Mobile Mechanics Only’ on the left-hand sidebar to filter static garages out of the results.

We also encourage as many garages as possible to offer same- or next-day car repairs to get you moving again sooner. If you want to see who can get you back on the road tomorrow, just select a specific date from the calendar on the left-hand sidebar.

There’s No Pre-Payment Required or Hidden Fees so You Always Get the Best Deal

Most importantly, we’re committed to helping you book the best deal on your car repair. That’s why we never include any additional fees and why we don’t require any pre-payment* to make a booking - you pay your chosen garage directly after all the work is done.

With the instant prices you see set by the garage themselves, it also means that what you see is what you’ll pay (unless you agree to additional work with your chosen garage directly). So, when you see a great repair deal on BookMyGarage.com, it’s never too good to be true.

And that means you can always get high-quality car maintenance for less by comparing deals through us.
