Hi Paul
Yes i think you are right, see how it goes for a year and then review what benefits you have had from joining. I am all for the new CarWise scheme but it has to work
You say about additional cost, well i think you may be right, as reading through their mag it may cost RMI members an additional £100:00 to join the CarWise scheme. If you are a non RMI member and wish to join the CareWise scheme it could cost as much as £575:00
I have feeling that many good garages will just not sign up to the CarWise scheme on principal. The RMI and the OFT will have to prove to garage owners that it is going to be the only recognised official trade mark that the public will see, all others must be swept away
If the IMI and MVRA ect all bring out their own certification and logos, them the CarWise scheme will be meaningless in the eyes of us Independents. Lets hope we have both made the right deceision
