Foxy Recruits Female Friendly Garages And Dealerships

STEYNING, UNITED KINGDOM - August 8, 2008: New and independent website FOXY Choice is offering garages and dealerships a unique opportunity to promote their female friendly credentials to women drivers.

The FOXY Garage Guide helps buyers choose wisely by explaining the differences between dealers and independent garages and introducing the latest signs of industry quality, leading trade associations and some new garage network names. Motorists can then search for the best local garage solutions before choosing the one that suits their car, budget and expectations at MOT, car servicing or repair time.

All listed businesses are required to sign the female-friendly FOXY Promise© which states “We strive to be a female friendly business and will never knowingly overcharge, patronise or sell our customers services they do not need or want.”

Businesses that set out to meet female friendly standards at MOT, servicing and repair time are recognised as the best choice for men too because women are professional shoppers who know what they want, expect a good deal and are quick to go elsewhere if they aren't impressed. Those that get their service levels right for women drivers evidently offer these higher standards for men as well.

In addition to the unique Garage Guide and FOXY Promise© FOXY will support any motorist who is unhappy with a listed FOXY Choice service and reserves the right to de-list any business that demonstrates an evident disregard for motorists' safety or a 'couldn't care less' customer attitude.

In recognition of their investment in quality all ATA employers, BSI Kitemark holders and businesses operating to an OFT approved code are entitled to introductory discounts in 2008.

FOXY Founder, Steph Savill explains the thinking behind this website.

“This industry has a serious image problem and doesn't promote itself very well to consumers, despite there being lots of good news to tell. By providing totally independent information and focusing on the many examples of quality out there, FOXY Choice can help motorists make an informed garage choice to suit them, their car and budget.”

“Quality workmanship is paramount of course so all motorists should know how to choose one of the safest MOT, car servicing and repair businesses in their area. They also want to understand their choices when it comes to prices and facilities. When they realise that dealerships and independents provide different service levels, like Waitrose and Tesco for example, they have a much better idea of what to expect.”
