Approved, Certified and 100% Recommended by the RAC.

BTE approached as your local Approved RAC Garage;


We have had a strong relationship with the RAC over the past 30 (plus) years. This relationship has created some incredible solutions for many motorists who, in a time of need, required a workshop based repair that cannot be completed at the Roadside. For the past 10 years, BTE have retained a 100% score in its Audit process that ensure quality of service in both workmanship and client relationship is maintained to the highest standards.


'' BTE were extremely pleased to be approached by the RAC to become an approved partner on a recommendation from the patrol team who are familiarised with the standards we set''


It's quite common place for automotive workshops to pay to be 'brand affiliated' with little or no audit process in place. It is always an exciting time to complete a comprehensive third party audit process on our business to ensure we continue to raise the bar and deliver a high level of service to our valued clients.


BTE always work with the best. It has shown from our ongoing strong relationship with Castrol that having a good relationship and really understanding the brand you work with give you pride in your operation. We are certainly pleased to be able to deliver additional services to our clients through the RAC network that includes Complimentary Vehicle Health Inspections, Warranty Repair through the pioneering 'MOT assist' and of course the annual servicing and maintenance of RAC members.
