Robert Wade Cars in Halifax has received the excellent customer service award from West Yorkshire Trading Standards for the seventh year running.

The scheme was set up eight years ago for all car sales and repair garages to build up confidence in the used car market.

On an annual basis, each member is assessed to establish their approach to customer care.

Owner Martin Uttley said the independent garage offers a good standard of care "for example, we sort out any problems as opposed to never seeing people again after selling them a car".
