List Your Garage on the
UK's Largest Directory

Thousands of car owners across the UK use CarGarages.co.uk every month to find trusted garages for MOTs, repairs, servicing, tyres, and bodywork. With 12,842 garages listed across 61 cities, we are the UK's largest dedicated car garage directory — and listing your business is completely free.

No Commission, No Hidden Fees

Unlike lead generation platforms that take a cut of every booking or charge per phone call, CarGarages.co.uk never takes commission on any business you receive through your listing. When a customer finds your garage and calls your number or visits your website, that lead is 100% yours. Our only revenue comes from optional Premium subscriptions for garage owners who want extra visibility and features. If you are happy with the free listing, you can use it indefinitely without ever paying a penny.

Free Listing vs Premium — What's the Difference?

Every garage on CarGarages.co.uk gets a free listing that includes your business name, address, phone number, opening hours, services offered, and Google-sourced ratings. This is enough for many garages to start receiving new enquiries from local customers. Premium listings take things further with top placement above standard results, your business logo, an image gallery, a custom description, social media links, and a premium badge. On average, Premium garages receive 3.5x more page views than free listings because they appear first and look more professional to customers who are comparing options.

How Online Directories Help Garages Grow

Most car owners today start their search for a garage online, whether they need an MOT, a service, or an unexpected repair. Being listed in a trusted directory means your garage appears in front of customers at the exact moment they are looking for your services. Unlike social media posts that disappear from feeds within hours, a directory listing works for you around the clock. Customers can find your garage by searching for services in their area, read your reviews, check your opening hours, and contact you directly — all without you lifting a finger.

Affordable Advertising for Independent Garages

For independent garages and small workshops, traditional advertising can be expensive and difficult to measure. A Premium listing on CarGarages.co.uk starts at just £1 per month — a fraction of what you would spend on local newspaper ads, leaflet drops, or pay-per-click campaigns. And because our directory is specifically designed for car owners looking for garage services, every visitor is a potential customer. You are not paying to reach people who might never need a garage; you are reaching people who are actively searching for one right now. Once upgraded, you can manage everything from your business dashboard.

How to Get More Customers for Your Garage

Getting more customers starts with being visible where they are looking. The majority of UK drivers search online before choosing a garage, comparing reviews, checking opening hours, and looking at which services are offered. Having a complete and up-to-date listing on CarGarages.co.uk puts your business in front of these ready-to-book customers. Start by claiming your listing and making sure your phone number, address, and opening hours are correct. Add all the services you provide — whether that is MOT testing, car servicing, mechanical repairs, tyre fitting, or bodywork — so you appear in the right search results. Garages with complete listings receive significantly more enquiries because customers can see at a glance that you offer exactly what they need.

What Makes a Great Garage Listing?

The best-performing listings on our directory share a few key traits. First, they have accurate contact information — nothing frustrates a potential customer more than calling a wrong number or arriving to find the garage closed. Second, they list every service they offer, from routine oil changes to specialist diagnostics. Third, Premium garages upload their logo and photos of their premises, which builds trust before the customer even visits. A professional image gallery showing your workshop, equipment, and team tells customers that you take pride in your business. Finally, a well-written description that highlights your experience, specialisms, and what sets you apart from competitors can be the deciding factor when a customer is choosing between two garages in the same area.

MOT Station Marketing: Stand Out in Your Area

If your garage is an approved MOT testing station, being listed on CarGarages.co.uk is one of the most effective ways to attract new MOT customers. Every year, millions of UK vehicles require an annual MOT test, and drivers typically search for “MOT near me” or “MOT test [city name]” when their reminder comes through. Our directory is designed specifically for these searches, with dedicated MOT testing pages for every city we cover. Being listed here means you appear alongside other local garages when car owners in your area are actively looking for an MOT centre. With a Premium listing, your garage appears at the top of these results, making it the first option customers see. For many garages, MOT tests are the gateway to repeat business — a customer who comes in for an MOT today may return for servicing, repairs, and tyres in the future.

Built for UK Garages, by People Who Understand the Industry

CarGarages.co.uk is not a generic business directory. We focus exclusively on the UK automotive aftermarket — car garages, MOT centres, tyre fitters, body shops, and vehicle servicing workshops. This means every feature, every search filter, and every page on our site is built with garage owners and their customers in mind. We understand the challenges of running an independent garage, from competing with national chains to managing seasonal demand around MOT due dates. That is why we keep the free tier genuinely useful and price our Premium plans affordably, so even the smallest one-person workshop can benefit. Whether you are a single-bay independent or a multi-ramp operation, our platform helps you reach more local customers without the complexity or cost of managing your own advertising.
