Another company signs up to code

Motorists who find it hard to choose a garage to carry out car maintenance on their vintage vehicles because they are worried about being ripped off may be pleased to hear more and more firms are deciding to sign up to an industry code of practice.

The most recent addition to the growing list is Prestige Car Servicing - an independent group with outlets across the UK.

All of the company's garages have agreed to show their support for the Motor Industry Code of Practice for Service and Repair by agreeing to abide by its values.

The code was set up to make it easier for vehicle owners to identify businesses committed to carrying out work fairly.

Prestige Car Servicing's fleet sales director, Craig Archibald, commented: "Our vision is to have a national network that brings our customers an unsurpassed reputation for quality, reliability and professionalism."

Motorists who regularly take their antique models for check-ups may help reduce their chances of having to make a claim on their classic and vintage car insurance.
