We are also proud of our independance, but also a UCCC, which was never intended to be a contradiction, but unfortunately most independants feel the need for some kind of association to something, I believe because it gives us a perception of being nationally recognised, and giving customers the confidence that goes with it.
I believe in a national standard that all good garages can belong to, but also believe that it must be independant.
Like you, I like a good debate, but should'nt health be discussed somewhere else
