I am a bit concerned about the roll out of yet another"clean up the motor trade"campain.Rogue traders will carry on trading and will have a total disregard for the new standards.The only winners will be the lucky people employed by the IMi etc with nice salaries,company cars and flexi time employment,while we foot the bill.It is as doomed to failure as the last good garage scheme.I am sure that these bodies are hoping that the government will take an interest and just throw money at them (our money) to set the thing up. In my local area I cannot think of any rogue traders (apart from a few dodgy car sales pitches).All the garages are reputable small concerns that have been trading for years,carrying out good quality repairs and services.
