Halfords Autocentres have just been fined £47,000 for missing 11 out of 20 defects?, but checked them off on the check sheet

I noticed that Halfords Autocentres have an "ata" Automotive Technicians Accreditation logo on their website? That should boost the confidence of the consumer when they are looking for an ATA workshop to service their vehicle

Best advice for motoring consumers is to find a good Independent Garage (preferably by word of mouth) and stick with them or just search for a UKAT member
