About CarGarages.co.uk
The UK's free garage directory
Our Mission
CarGarages.co.uk is a free, UK-wide garage directory built to help car owners find local garages quickly and easily. Whether you need an MOT, a routine service, new tyres, or urgent repairs, our goal is to connect you with the right garage — with the information you need to make a confident choice.
Alongside the directory, you can describe the work your car needs once and invite garages near you to quote for it, so you can compare cost and availability side by side instead of ringing round.
What We Do
We maintain a comprehensive directory of over 12,800 garages across the United Kingdom, covering five core service categories:
Each listing includes contact details, opening hours, services offered, location on a map, and real Google reviews — giving you everything you need to compare garages near you.
Compare Quotes for a Repair
Finding a garage is one problem. Knowing what the work should cost is another. You can tell us what your car needs — the job, your car, and where you are — and we'll invite garages in your area to quote for it.
- Describe the job once, rather than repeating it to every garage you ring
- Compare quotes on cost, what's included, and availability
- Message a garage to ask questions before you decide
- Choose the quote you want — or none of them
Your phone number stays hidden until you accept a quote. Garages see the job and your general area, not your contact details, so you won't be called by garages you didn't choose. It's free for car owners, and there's no obligation to accept any quote you receive.

For Garage Owners
If you own or manage a garage, you can claim your free listing to take control of your business profile. Claimed listings allow you to:
- Update your business description, contact details, and opening hours
- Add your logo, a photo gallery, your website and social media links
- Receive job leads from car owners in your area
- Quote for work, message the car owner, and see the jobs you've won
Claiming your listing is free. When a car owner near you posts a job, you decide whether it's worth quoting for — there's no commission on the work you win and no subscription. Our pricing page explains how job leads work.
Our Data
Our garage listings are sourced from a combination of Google Places, the DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), public business records, and direct submissions from garage owners. We regularly review and update listings to ensure accuracy. If you spot any incorrect information, please let us know.
