Hi Paul
Perhaps rather than Independents signing up for a FREE sign and a few flyers, we should look at what we already have
Autosafe have 380, we have 550 and growing. How about a sign "UKAT Diagnostics" or "UKAT Air conditioning Centre" "UKAT Service Centre" or "UKAT Service & Diagnostic Centre" or "UKAT Mobile Diagnostics" or just plain old "Member of UKAT". The signs could have the Logo's underneath of the parts manufacturers you use such as Bosch, Blue Print, Delphi, Castrol, Timax etc. It would make your garage front look smarter than loads of brake/clutch/shock absorber centre sign's littered over your garage door
We all use recognized suppliers and motor factors who sell quality parts already, we have companies that supply and sell diagnostic equipment and willing to give help and advise on these forums, we also help each other with our problems. I am sure the motoring public would be more than happy to use one of our members......after all, he would have the rest of us to answer to
Perhaps we could set up a FREE PHONE number for motorist to telephone, and we could direct them to the nearest member that can be of assistance for say Diagnostics, Servicing, Aircon etc
You may have to PAY for the sign , but at least it will show you are part of a wider group of Techs who care about their customers and the motor trade
