hi peter
i am member of the rmi and at the moment i dont think it is a major item that the general public look for,however i still subscribe my £400p.a.in the hope that it becomes the best trade association to be a member of... it must have strict criteria for who it allows to become a member or it becomes a joke and i have to agree that a long continued advertising campaign will be necessary for it to have an impact.
is there another charge for this scheme?i hope not as the subscription cost is already high.... think its a good idea as long as its geared over a long period of time.
motor trade qualifications..yes i have them but it means nothing..only knowledge/experience and being a thinker in todays motortrade will give you success in my opinion...
hope that the rmi will soon look closer at us independents and give us the information that we require..which cars we can service under warranty for example...the info in the monthly mag is all for if you want to be an authorised repairer(which i dont)or dealer issues...better stop now as i am getting carried away!!
