Motor Codes, the Trading Standards-approved garage scheme, has appointed the AA to carry out inspections of the 8,000 garages in its network.
The partnership will see all new Motor Codes garages audited within a month of sign-up with existing businesses checked every two years.
Edmund King, AA President said working with Motor Codes was a “natural fit” for the AA.
“We’re proud that it will be AA inspectors out there on the ground, making sure that Motor Codes garages remain a safe haven for Britain’s car owners.”.
Motor Codes managing director Chris Mason, said: “We see the prospect of Motor Codes garages inspected by the AA as a powerful tool of reassurance for consumers.
“The significance of a partnership with an organisation that has 15 million members on its books and deals with 3.5 million breakdowns per year should give current and prospective Motor Codes subscribers confidence for the future.”
AA inspections results will be published on the profile pages of Motor Codes subscribing garages at www.motorcodes.co.uk, where people can search for their nearest approved garage, read reviews and then rate the garage themselves.
