Hi Tony and Andy

I did not realise that you were both UCCC's. If i was in your position i probably would not have signed up to the Forte scheme either. Both the UCCC's and Bosch Service have been around for and age and set their own standards. I see no reason to sign up to an additional scheme, this will only double up on paperwork, logo's etc

I do have one pet hate with Independents and that is all the signage that you see on some

**** Exhaust Centre
**** Clutch Centre
**** Brake Safety Centre
**** Shock Absorber Centre

All promoting different brands. I ban them all years ago, it's very confusing for the customer. Many of the Motor Factors sign you up to these "Schemes" and then six months later they drop that brand in favour of a another, its happened to me several times

You did mention about a Forte "Good Garage Scheme" member working from his house.......I also remember a Unipart Car Care Centre on Rogue Traders........a perfect world it ain't
