About Lancashire Car Garages

Most people choose between garages from the first few names in a search, and the top of the results is often a booking site that takes a cut, not the garage down the road.

Lancashire Car Garages puts every garage in Lancashire with a Google review on one list, town by town. For each one it shows what the garage says it does, its Google rating, and whether we matched it on DVSA's published list of active MOT test stations.

A garage we did not match on the MOT list may still test cars under a different trading name, so look for the blue sign with three white triangles. That is why every listing shows the date it was checked, and why any garage can claim its listing and correct it.

Every garage starts from public business data. We keep those in Lancashire that are open, have at least one Google review and work on cars or vans, and we merge duplicates. Car dealers' showrooms, car buyers, valeters, recovery-only firms and unrelated trades are left out.

We then read each garage's own website and record only what it states: servicing and repairs, MOT testing, diagnostics, air-con, tyres, electric and hybrid cars, bodywork, courtesy cars, collection and delivery, recovery, mobile work, vans, make specialists and trade scheme membership. Where a site says nothing, the listing shows no answer rather than a guess.
