We have just joined as part of the auto-care group.

Being new to this kind of thing, I didn't put up all the signs and bunting, thinking that we would need our inspection first.

This week the man from the RAC arrived, unannounced, first questions "where is the membership certificate?" and "where is all the literature?".

His visit was early in the morning and he wanted to see some completed work, to check quality. Luckily a couple of jobs had been left from the previous day, but what if they hadn't been there?

So its early days for us, if it hadn't had been part of the auto-care scheme we probably wouldn't have joined, but we will see how we get on.
