I have no objections to being regulated in some shape or form, But being regulated by a Company taking money off us in this way is not the way to go. I still think trading standards should be able to do this job on their own without the help of someone trying to make a business out of it.

I Used to get several jobs a week from the RAC But I have had non since the new £15.00 Kick back scheme was set up, I have enough work to not worry about joining any of theses "APPROVED" Schemes, And I wouldn't want to be paying commission to anyone bringing me work as its hard enough already trying to justify the costs involved in repairing the cars.

I Think the RAC guys have also realised that I am not thrilled about giving them free information over the phone anymore as I used to do in the past.

What happens now if a customer says "I want taking to such and such a garage". ??? Can they still be taken, Or do they get talked into being taken to the Approved repairer even if they haven't got the knowledge or equipment to do the job. ???
