Blackcircles.com, the online tyre retailer, is now insisting its 1,000 garages and fast-fit outlets sign up to subscribe to the Motor Codes ‘service and repair code’ over the next 12 months.

Michael Welch, managing director of Blackcircles.com, said: “The customer experience is paramount to our operation, so underpinning our benefits with the reassurance of Motor Codes standards further enhances our credibility.

“We recently expanded our offering to include vehicle servicing and with the addition of Motor Codes, we’re demonstrating to our garages and customers that we’re committed to maintaining high industry standards.”
