Reply To: Garage owners left to weigh up pros and cons of staying open

It’s a devastating decision. 6 months is a far too long of a period. The government is happy for us to be open and we are coming to work, yet no one to work for. It’s agreed cars need to be kept in a safe and road worthy condition. Most people rely on the MOT to tell them their car is unsafe otherwise they would never know till it’s to late I agree there should be an air of flexibility but we have all put procedures in place to cover eventualities and offer help where needed. It seems ironic that I can only get 3 months help with my mortgage we will need help for the hole 6 months till this business returns does the government have a separate scheme for us? I doubt it please re think so we will be offering a proper service to the key workers who need it otherwise many of us will be closed or worse.
