Diamond's Network drives cowboys out of town

Women motorists fed up of being ripped off by dishonest garages or who worry about their lack of mechanical knowledge can put their minds at rest thanks to a new service included free in all policies from women's car insurance specialist Diamond.

Diamond's Best Friends Garage Network service deals with all aspects of car service, MOT and repairs, from start to finish. This includes getting a quote, making a booking and taking the payment, so it could mean women never having to deal with a garage again when it comes to the service and repair of their vehicle.

The garages in the scheme are part of the largest centrally controlled network of independent garages in the UK, with each having to meet very exacting, regularly monitored standards to join and remain part of the Network.

Diamond managing director, Sian Lewis, commented, "We wanted to add more value to our already comprehensive package, and this free service will provide Diamond customers with access to quality car maintenance services all year long. The Best Friends Garage Network will mean that Diamond customers may never have to deal directly with a garage again - a benefit I'm sure many women will appreciate!

"Furthermore, Diamond customers are entitled to discounts off their MOT, service and repair fees. We'll even collect their car from home or work, and will deliver it back washed and vacuumed."

For that extra piece of mind, the Garage Network uses manufacturer equivalent parts which have a 12-month/12,000 mile guarantee and prices are set by the Network itself rather than individual garages. You're also guaranteed to only be paying for work that's really needed and if any additional work is required, the Network will get approval from you first.

Sian continued, "Along with our Handbag Cover and Babyseat Cover, the Best Friends Garage Network allows us to provide an all round car insurance product that's tailored specifically for the modern woman."
