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.

You can re-order search results by Price, Distance, Availability, Reviews or Name to compare garages by what matters most to you. If you’d prefer to see who we recommend based on a combination of these factors, you can revert to Relevance at any time.

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.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Why do some garages have Tier badges?

We reward the very best UK garages with a Silver, Gold or Top Tier badge. These garages always go above and beyond for you and have met and maintained strict eligibility criteria to display their badge.

These garages provide the very best experience, so you’ll always drive away completely satisfied when you choose one for your car repair.

What should I book if I don’t know what car repair I need?

You can book a ‘General Repair’ if your car has a problem, but you don’t know what’s to blame. Your chosen garage will provide a repair quote after they’ve completed this initial inspection.

Do garages on your platform offer guarantees on their work?

Yes, many garages offer a 12-month parts and labour warranty as a guarantee on their repair work.

Some also display their industry accreditations, qualifications and awards as proof of their experience and expertise.

Can I get my car repaired at home if I can’t drive it?

Yes, we work with a growing network of mobile mechanics who provide at-home car repairs on stricken vehicles.

You can select ‘Mobile Mechanics Only’ to filter static garages out of the results if you need a mobile technician to fix your car.

Is there a way I can get my car repaired tomorrow?

Yes, we encourage garages on our comparison site to provide same- or next-day repair slots wherever possible to help get your life back on track sooner.

Select tomorrow’s date from the calendar on the left-hand sidebar to compare local garages with next-day availability. Please note that unexpected circumstances can leave garages unable to fulfil next-day car repairs at short notice.

We recommend receiving confirmation from your chosen garage before arriving for the appointment to avoid any additional stress.

When is it not worthwhile to repair my car?

It may not be worthwhile to fix your car if the cost of the repairs is significantly more than your vehicle is worth or if it would work out cheaper to buy a new car.

If your car has significant sentimental value, or you can’t afford to be without a vehicle for any length of time, you may be happy to pay any price to keep it moving. Whether a repair is worthwhile or not is completely up to you, and you’ll never be pressured one way or another by any garage on our platform.

Can I trust the garage I’ve chosen?

We’re committed to providing high-quality comparison, so only work with UK garages that share our high standards of customer service and car care. We’ll also remove any from our platform that continually let drivers down to ensure everyone gets the very best experience and a go-to garage they can trust for years to come.

How do I sort garages another way to find the right one for my needs?

You can use the Sort By button in the top right corner to re-order search results by Price, Distance, Availability, Reviews or Name to find the right one for your car repair. If you’d prefer to compare garages based on a combination of these factors, you can revert to Relevance to see who we recommend.
