MOT Leaders Garages4You.com Launch in 90th City

Pressbox (Press Release) -
Garages4You.com has launched its MOT discount service in London. The addition of London to the MOT website marks the 90th UK city to be added to Garages4You.
What started as humble beginnings providing just discounted MOTs in one Scottish city has now expanded to include nearly every city across the UK. From as far north as Inverness in the Highlands of Scotland down to Plymouth on the south coast of England, Garages4You are providing discounted MOT deals for drivers all across the United Kingdom.
Garages4You customers can now save on the cost of a mot Glasgow, Liverpool or just about every major city in the UK, simply by booking through the Garages4You website.
With a population of just under eight million across the city centre and greater London, the move to the UK capital provides a large market for Garages4You to offer their discounted London MOT service to.
Founder Greg Allison has been helped along the way by the Prince’s Scottish Youth Business Trust who provided start up capital and by Kwik-Fit founder Sir Tom Farmer who has given valuable business advice. Garages4You.com is now looking to expand their existing coverage in the city of London and will be looking to add further MOT centres in major urban areas like Birmingham and Manchester.
Speaking about the expansion, Greg Alison said:
“Our expansion is going really well to date and we are delighted to now serve 90 cites across the UK. We could have probably reached this milestone quicker but we have put a greater emphasis on sourcing quality centres rather than just taking the first places on offer to us. Each centre must meet our high standards of service, workmanship and importantly also be somewhere we would be willing to take our own vehicles.”
Although the addition of London postcodes to the Garages4You website is a big step for Garages4You, Greg Alison is keen to highlight that they are merely testing the market.
"We have just recently made an initial launch into the London area and are testing early results so we can learn how best to tackle this market", says Greg. "London is a challenge due to the size of the city and the amount of people living there so we are treating it like a country in its own right. It puts it into perspective when you consider there are more people living in London than the whole of Scotland."
Even though London is still being seen as a test unlike their long term MOT deals in Leeds or Edinburgh for example, initial results have been extremely positive.
“Early signs have been encouraging and we are working hard to secure the right MOT dealers and prices for our customers”, continues Greg Allison.
