I think this service started in the summer so I’ve been watching how it copes with ‘female friendly garage’ and, believe me, not so long ago some one million searches were recorded and this has since risen to two million.

If you think about it, this is a very ambitious service to offer and it could be that some of the slow risers (a million here and a million there aren’t rapid risers compared with the likes of Twitter and other trendy websites) simply aren’t on the priority list of Google records, but it’s good to know there is something for us to measure how effectively FOXY Choice is managing to get the ‘female friendly garage’ message out to women drivers, always with limited marketing money to do the job.
