Training:

The NEED for training is almost universally agreed. At AutoCare, we lead the way in the UK with training that’s second to none for garage technicians. Training our technicians to the highest standard through quality courses, helping garages stay ahead of the competition.

We invest time to train our technicians…

All of our garages have access to industry accredited courses. We are committed to investing time, effort and expenses into our garages so that they are championing trained professional technicians across the board.

After all, we want to make sure you end up with an experienced, proficient and reliable mechanic, so you can put your mind at rest. In any case, we think if you’re going to have someone repair your vehicle, you want the best skilled person to do so.

Knowledge in the latest technology:

AutoCare garages are proving themselves to be among the most forward thinking in the country when it comes to hybrid repair and servicing. According to IMI (Institute of the Motor Industry) statistics, around 1,000 technicians across the UK are qualified to IMI Level Three for hybrid vehicles, and using his own statistics based on delivering training Steve Carter has calculated that more than 50% of that total are employed by AutoCare garages.

Right to repair campaign

In the simplest terms, if you choose to repair, maintain or service your brand new vehicle at your local AutoCare garage, your warranty will stay intact, as long as they use manufacturer approved parts, thanks to the European Law of Block Exemption Regulations. The Right to Repair Campaign has ensured:

Costs of servicing, maintaining and servicing your vehicle is reduced as they have a lower rate than franchised dealers.
It is convenient for drivers as they may not have to wait too long or travel too far for servicing or repairs.
Repairing your car after your warranty needn’t cost so much.
