New website helps car owners find trustworthy mechanics

A new website that assists car owners in locating trustworthy mechanics in their area is helping motorists to combat the damaging effects of the nation’s deteriorating roads.

Whocanfixmycar.com has been launched in a bid to aid car owners in finding local garages and mechanics, and then compare their quotes online for free. With motorists being encouraged to find a mechanic they can trust to ensure their car is suitably repaired in the wake of declining road conditions, the website couldn’t have launched at a better time.

Government cuts to road maintenance budgets, combined with the harsh weather from last winter have led to the ongoing degradation of roads across the UK. A survey by RAC patrol teams found that there had been a 25% increase in call-outs resulting from potholes and poor road conditions over the past 12 months. Wheel and tyre damage was the most common problem caused by potholes.

Car owners requiring this type of repair, or their usual service or MOT, can log onto Whocanfixmycar.com, post their job on the website and then wait for local mechanics and garages to provide a quote. The car owner can then review all the quotes they’ve received, read other users’ feedback and handpick the garage they’d like to use, all without disclosing any private details.

Ian Griffiths, CEO of Whocanfixmycar.com, explains: “Whocanfixmycar.com is a quick, convenient and cost effective approach to sourcing reputable local mechanics and garages.

“Underinvestment in our roads will continue to pose a problem for motorists in the foreseeable future and it’s important that they ensure their car is in tip top condition to prevent any unnecessary accidents.”

He adds: “A survey by a leading insurance company in June also found that over 750,000 car owners in the UK are skipping their annual service to save money, which highlights the growing need for a money-saving website like this.”

Whocanfixmycar.com is one of the newest motoring websites in the UK where users can post a job anonymously and then rate the mechanic afterwards. It operates nationwide, and is continually increasing garage and mechanic numbers across the country to ensure the maximum possible choice for UK motorists.
