Accessibility Features
The AutoFix Garage website includes the following features to enhance accessibility:
- Alternative Text for Images: All images on our website include descriptive alternative text (alt text) to provide context for users who cannot see the images. This ensures that screen readers can convey the meaning of the images.

- Clear and Consistent Navigation: We maintain a clear and consistent navigation structure throughout our website to help users easily find the information they need.
- Sufficient Color Contrast: We use sufficient color contrast between text and background elements to ensure that content is readable for users with low vision or color blindness.

- Form Labels and Instructions: All form fields on our website include clear labels and instructions to help users understand what information is required.
