Car servicing in Lewisham

Complaints about car servicing recorded by Lewisham Council increased by nearly 50% in 2008/9 compared with 2007/8. This reflects a national trend and car servicing is amongst the top 10 most complained about trade sectors.

The Motor Industry Code of Practice was launched late last year in response to consumer concerns about pricing, quality of work and customer service. It offers a free advice line and conciliation service for consumers.

Consumers can now search for a local approved garage using the following link:

The cost to garages to join is £75 + VAT. There are already more than a dozen garages within the borough who have joined the scheme.
