RAC Approved Garages


Finding the right garage can be a daunting process. How can you be sure you’ve got a good deal, with quality work, at reasonable prices?

That’s why the RAC have created RAC Approved Garages. The RAC carry out several strict checks before approving any garage to join the network.

An RAC Approved Garage is an independent, good quality garage, that carries out a wide range of services and repairs on a variety of vehicle makes and models.

An RAC Approved Garage offers:

  • Consumer Reassurance – garages work to the RAC Customer Charter and Code of Conduct (which is approved by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute).
  • Honest Pricing – consumers trust that all work required and the costs involved will be honest and clear.
  • Quality Work – any repairs will meet the high standards set by the RAC.
  • Exceptional Customer Service – the network provides a friendly, straightforward and jargon-free service.
