Part of the criteria:
"Garages have to pass a series of tests, thought to include a practical element, a written self-assessment and mystery shops"
Questions that need to be asked are:
1) Will existing RMI members be automatically given "Trust My Garage" status (a way of making the figures look good)
2) Will it be a case of join NOW and take the test at a later date or take the test and THEN you can join (the later should be the correct way)
3) Motor Codes has 5,000 Franchise dealers and 1,500 Independents on their books. How will "Trust My Garage" go about tempting the remaining 22,000 Independents that do not want to join Motor Codes
4) How often will the criteria have to be carried out, once a year, every 2 or 3 years?
5) Who will be given the task to oversee the criteria
6) How will this be promoted to the motoring public? (no tacky Golden Garage promotions I hope, waisting members fees)
Oh......and this will probably never get FULL OFT approval, not in this current climate of cuts and department down sizing
They will have to come up with something pretty outstanding and original
