What is a SecretService™ garage?
Exclusively through SecretService™ you can book a service and/or MOT at an official main dealer, for less than booking direct.
Main dealers offer premium quality, and we want to help every driver experience this, no matter what car you drive. We work with many of the leading UK dealerships, offering drivers exclusive deals on their unsold workshop slots. This way, your car gets the quality of care it deserves and you get the best deal on your service or MOT. What's more, these prices are so low that dealerships don't want anyone else to know about them. That’s why SecretService™ is the perfect solution, for both dealers and drivers. We fill the workshop slots by offering lower prices, but we also keep the dealership's identity a secret until after you've completed the booking. This keeps their reputation intact. It works just like secret hotels!
Who is SecretService™ For?
SecretService™ is designed for drivers of 4+-year-old vehicles. Main dealerships are happy to work on cars of all ages, not just those in warranty - contrary to popular belief.
In recent years, main dealers have shifted their priorities to focus more on providing high-quality ‘aftersales’ care to cars of all ages. Many now also complete MOT and servicing on all makes and models. However, drivers of older cars don't tend to consider a main dealer for their maintenance because they think it will be more expensive than independents or fast-fits. SecretService™ is helping to connect the two by offering great deals on MOTs and servicing at main dealers.
Why Your Car Deserves SecretService™
The official main dealers, or ‘franchised dealerships’, are the ‘gold standard’ of car maintenance. They are certified to sell new or used cars and maintain and repair vehicles as part of an ‘aftersales’ care program by manufacturers.
Simply put, the manufacturers trust dealerships to deliver high-quality MOT and servicing on all vehicles. They have manufacturer-trained technicians, use genuine (or equivalent) parts and must adhere to the quality standards set by manufacturers to maintain their franchise status.
In addition, they generally specialise in one or two makes. This allows them to look after these cars to an even higher standard.These main dealers are the experts who know your vehicle best.
Exclusively through SecretService™ your car gets the quality it deserves, no matter its age, and you pay no more than you would at the independent garages in the area. Not only is a main dealer service the ‘gold standard’ of car maintenance, but a SecretService™ also gives you exceptional value for money.
How Does SecretService™ Work?
- SecretService™ matching - Enter your vehicle reg and postcode. Then, we match you with the most relevant SecretService™ branch for your make and model. We choose this based on a variety of factors, including review scores, discounted prices offered and your distance from the dealership. We also prioritise any main dealer that specialises your vehicle’s make.
- Choose a deal - See the dealership’s discounted prices, any additional product(s) offered, their general location and read through their customer reviews.
- Book your appointment - Finally, choose a suitable date and time for the work and complete your booking. Then we reveal the dealership’s identity - but that’s strictly for your eyes only!
- Attend your appointment - After you’ve made your booking, you’ll be contacted by the dealership to confirm your appointment. You won’t pay a penny until after the work is complete, and you pay the dealership directly. You can also cancel/amend your booking for free at any time if you’re not happy with the choice.

FAQs
What is an Official Main Dealer?
A main dealer has a contract with one or more car manufacturers. These manufacturers trust them to deliver high-quality ‘aftersales’ care and also certify them to sell new and used cars.
Main dealers are usually very modern buildings with manufacturers’ logos all over them. As a result, they are usually very easy to spot.
What is 'Aftersales' Care?
Aftersales refers to servicing, warranties and any other care the vehicle needs after the initial purchase.
Do I Have to Have Bought My Car at the Dealership to Book a SecretService™ With Them?
No, SecretService™ is available to all drivers, no matter where you bought your car. In fact, it is a common misconception that main dealers only work on cars they sell. Nowadays, most will service all makes and models, regardless of where they were bought.
Can I Take My Car To a Dealership That Specialises In Another Manufacturer?
Yes, you can book an MOT or service for your car with main dealers through SecretService™, even if your brand isn’t listed as one of their specialties. Most dealerships service all makes and models and you’ll still get expert technicians taking care of your car.
Why Choose a Main Dealer for My Service/MOT?
Servicing your car at a franchised dealership brings a lot of benefits:
- Manufacturer-trained technicians. They have the highest level of training which is regularly updated to stay ahead of industry developments.
- Genuine (or equivalent) parts and state-of-the-art equipment.
- Dedicated customer service teams.
- Gleaming facilities, refreshments and other services. Some offer collection and delivery services, loan cars and a vehicle wash and vac as extras during your MOT or service.
