Here we go again!

Mason's now insinuating that all independants that are NOT MOT stations, and not signed up to codes are somehow inferior, either technically or morally!
"MOT stations are the 'good guys'."

I mean... WHAT!? I could name 5 local MOT stations that I wouldn't trust to inspect a skateboard. and if they did they'd fail it on discs, pads and shockers! And all they'd need for approval is £75 and the ability to make the right noises in the unlikely event that they were ever visited by Mr Mason's clipboard team.

I also know lots of other MOT stations who do an excellent job and look after their customers' interests without any interference from a privately run, profit making, self appointed industry watchdog whose only clear objective is to undermine anyone in the trade who doesn't bend over for Lord Mason.

His latest statement is just another example of the sweeping generalisations he uses to convince his target audience (an unqualified quango of MPs in this case) that he knows what's best for every garage and tecnician in the country. What right has he to suggest mandatory membership of his Motor Codes protection racket to OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS? He's got a vested interest in his own profits and NO interest in protecting the independant motor trade.

Rant over!
