Hi Frank

There does not seem to be much of a response to your article from the January Professional Motor Mechanic magazine, i would put this down to the fact that you are only reaching a minority of technicians and garage owners in the UK. It seems this publication is not available to everyone because we do not buy our parts from the "CORRECT" Motor Factor

This is a great shame as i have just received a copy (for the first time ever) direct from the publishers and it does make interesting reading

It seems the distribution is "POLITICAL", if your factor does not sell the brand of parts advertised in the magazine or a member of the correct buying group, then they are excluded from keeping and sending out copies to workshops

I presently buy my parts from the Camberley Motor Factor group, but they do not keep the magazine, i would have to jump ship and buy parts from A.R.E to get a copy

So until this magazine is FREE to ALL, then i suspect your time and articles are just gathering dust on motor factor floors (a great shame). If you have any influence with the publishers, perhaps a quiet word to make sure we can ALL have a copy

All the best

Peter

PS: Perhaps the Motor factors should lighten up a bit, think of the customers for once
