FixMyCar announces new approved repairer network
FixMyCar has unveiled new plans to launch FixRated, a new approved repairer network.
In partnership with The Motor Ombudsman, the new programme will provide FixMyCar customers with a wider choice of repairers able to meet more specialist needs such as fleet and warranty work.
Approved repairers will all adhere to the Code of Practice established and enforced by The Motor Ombudsman, while benefiting from increased visibility on FixMyCar’s website which was visited over five million times in the last year and generated over a million car maintenance and repair jobs.
To secure FixRated membership, garages must permit site assessments, be rated at least four stars or above on Trustpilot or Google and be a member of The Motor Ombudsman to ensure service quality.
Interim CEO at FixMyCar, Amanda Webb, said: “We’re very excited to be announcing plans for our new FixRated network, in partnership with The Motor Ombudsman. Having the ability to call on the support, expertise, and resources of an automotive authority like TMO, underlines our goal of elevating industry standards. We look forward to working closely with them.
“Garages continue to battle against an unfortunate reputation for being unreliable in honesty and quality, a stereotype that is not reflective of the many hard-working garages we work with every day. FixRated is just one step we’re taking to help combat this for the good garages we know are out there and we look forward to welcoming and supporting those garages onto FixRated.”
Garages are now being invited to register their interest in joining the network, with the first members expected to be announced next month.
