Miles Better is the new face of the Good Garage Scheme

The Good Garage scheme is introducing its new face and mascot, Miles Better, to UK motorists thanks to a new advertising campaign.

The animated character will be delivering helpful tips and advice to motorists and garages via a TV advertising spot on the Sky network, as well as on Twitter and Facebook.

Miles Better, chosen after a search among members to find the best name for the mascot, was finally ‘born’ from a suggestion from Peterborough motorist Heidi Twigg, whose husband is a Good Garage Scheme member.

The name was chosen over other suggestions including Gary Toogood, Carter Fix and Mike the Mechanic.

Good Garage Scheme Marketing Manager Anndi Sheppard commented: “We were delighted that so many took part in our competition and were happy with the new name for our television star.

“We had a number of really creative entries but in the end we settled for Miles Better, as it represents the ethos of our member garages – they all strive to offer miles better service every time you visit.”
