Garages in Lancashire's Blackpool area are spread along the main roads that run through the town, from Preston New Road and Dickson Road to Talbot Road, Common Edge Road and Squires Gate Lane. This page covers 109 businesses, and it also draws in garages in Bispham, Layton, Marton and Whitehills.
Most sit in Blackpool itself: 96 are in Blackpool, 10 in Fylde and 3 in Wyre. The Fylde Coast is the practical catchment, and the places that Blackpool garages name as where they work show it: Lytham St Annes four times, Preston four, Fleetwood three and Poulton-le-Fylde two. Colne appears twice, which is a long way out for a garage on this coast.
Bodywork and recovery are part of the picture too. Fylde Coast Accident Repair Centre Ltd is rated 4.8 from 1061 reviews, and Phoenix Paint & Body is rated 4.9 from 55. MJT Cars and Macadam both list breakdown recovery, and The Wheel Specialist Blackpool is rated 5.0 from 88 reviews for wheel work.

Open-Circuit Auto Electrician is rated 4.9 from 113 reviews.
Servicing and repairs lead the local trade, then MOT testing, tyres and diagnostics. The national centres carry the biggest review counts: Halfords Autocentre Blackpool is rated 4.6 from 981 reviews, Kwik Fit - Blackpool - Preston New Road 4.6 from 875 and Kwik Fit - Blackpool - Dickson Road 4.6 from 764.
