Good evening Peter

"I spoke to Chis Mason yesterday at length about some of the posts on here

Rather than getting into a slagging match on this forum Chris was willing to set up a meeting for any members either at Motor Codes head office or a place of your choice to discuss any issues about Motor Codes"

What a surprise!

Instead of facing up to the legitimate responses to Kelly's initial post, he finds it necessary to deal with it "off camera" so to speak.

What's that all about?


I thought that Simon Kefford wrote a very good reply, which should be studied by anyone who is considering preaching, or intending to regulate the motor trade.

simply put, a governing body needs to be credible. Credibility stems from neutrality, devoid of financial incentive & serving the consumer & provider alike.

Take a look at the current crop. Do any of them fit the model?

Perhaps we should all just go with the cheapest option & jump on the Forte "Good Garage" bad wagon. At least they are up front about what they want from you, in order to promote you as a professional body. £35 quid (+ VAT) worth of their products on every service. NO THANKS!

I am not sure that I wan't to be tarred with the same brush as some of the other local "Good Garages" either

My personal advice is.... plough your own field & make sure you do it right. Don't concern yourself with the weeds growing elsewhere!
