Unfortunately an all to regular ocourrance. A couple of local garage have been forced to close after years in the business.Their problem was trying to run their garages legally.They cant complete with the influx of garages that are opening with no regard to planning permissions, paying tax, Vat, pensions, waste disposal or indeed any kind of trade qualifications.These illegal garages employ their staff on an off the books cash basis so can quote well below a garage that does things right.If they get caught ( and they rarely do)they just set up again in a different name.It seems even selling fraudulent MOTs doesnt warrant a meaningful deterrent. These are foreign garages and its going to get worse!
