Motor Codes names Top 50 garages

Motor Codes has named the Top 50 garages nominated by the public for their reliability and professionalism.

Thousands of motorists voted in the opening phase of the www.goldengarages.co.uk contest, organised by Motor Codes and launched in January.

The top 50, selected from across ten UK regions, will now progress to the final voting stage of the competition to find the UK’s best workshop, with the overall winning Golden Garage set to be announced on 4 April.

The shortlist of garages can be found on the Golden Garages website and motorists are invited to vote in the next stage of the competition, to select the ten best, by casting their vote online.

The national Golden Garages winner will then be chosen by judges, including TV personality Mike Brewer, What Car? editor-in-chief Steve Fowler, Car and Accessory Trader Editor Emma Butcher and Motor Codes managing director, Chris Mason.

Top 10 voting for Golden Garages opens this week and closes on Sunday 13 March 2011.

Motor Codes operates a self-regulatory code of practice for garages.
