Caffyns is committing all 24 of its garage outlets to subscribe to the Motor Industry Code of Practice for Service and Repair.

Chris Mason, motor codes director, said: “We are pleased that Caffyns has seized the opportunity to demonstrate the value of subscribing to the Code.

“I would urge all garages to recognise the benefits of embracing this important industry initiative for the benefit of their customers and business alike.”

The Motor Industry Code of Practice for Service and Repair was created to safeguard consumer interests by helping them identify responsible garages and encourage the sector to raise and maintain a high standard of customer service.

Launched to consumers in August 2008, around 5,000 garages in the UK have already subscribed to the Code which is currently progressing through the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) Consumer Codes Approval Scheme.
