Automotive Distributors (ADL) has announced its full support of the BSI Kitemark scheme and is encouraging garages to embrace the PAS80 standard.

ADL is currently canvassing independent repairers on the Kitemark scheme and has received more than 180 enquiries from garages wishing to adopt the PAS80 standard. It also aims to produce a service specification document providing practical information on how to achieve the Kitemark and PAS80 standard.

Simon Hutchinson, ADL marketing manager, said: "The National Consumer Council super-complaint is coming and we’re playing our part in alerting the whole industry – suppliers, media, motor factors and repairers – to its potentially hazardous consequences.

"The Kitemark scheme offers independent repairers the opportunity to raise standards in vehicle servicing and at the same time enhance the industry’s reputation among motorists."
