[anthony roe]

yes but all independents need to stick together i do not mean be partners but refuse to join their networks so they have no choice but to fold because these third party website are all set up to make more money than the garage that has all the over heads of running a business etc etc we do all the hard work and have all the pressure of high rents and other high other heads business rates etc and there making sometimes 100.00 pounds on a job that has been passed to the independent garage just to answer a email and there sitting in a 5ft by 5ft office that is very cheap to rent and they are making more money than the garage doing the work is making so how can that be the likes of servicing stop , click mechanic and all those out there need bombing out but until us independents refuse to work with them its only going to damage independent more better to spend on your own marketing which is what we are doing we have tried third party websites and soon realized that you are just a busy fool making money for other people.
