The announcement of the new website has proven to be hit as this week it has been announced that around 2,700 garages here in the United Kingdom have officially signed up with the RAC in order to be one of the businesses used via the comparison website. The CEO for RAC's partner in the project the Motorists Organisation has commented on the news by saying “Online servicing comparators have been around for a couple of years but have yet to really make a mark. However, the strength of our brand and technology is proving extremely popular with both motorists and those garages who are receiving online bookings”.
