hi ,i feel fit for me is only euro car parts trying to generate sales for themselves and not to help independent garages,i was offered this option to join fit for me but opted out as my staff and myself are fully qualified to order parts on our own,perhaps euro car parts should invest in their own workshops to fit their own parts rather than build up a system to carry this out using other workshops initially ,with the option to open their own should the system work,we had no checks carried out by euro when we were asked to join as to the qualifications the technicians had, and no idea who would have informed the car owners which parts they required,or if they actually did require them,if it was an mot failure that brought the repairs to light does that mean euro car parts are encouraging drivers to ileagaly drive a car from an mot station after failing a test ?so they can sell parts directly to the owner regardless of road safety,to themselves and others,not to mention the legal aspect of insurance once a vehicle fails an mot test,we actually buy parts direct from euro just now and a large portion of the time they are incorrect,who would pay the garages downtime while the car is on their ramp waiting for the correct parts,most branches of Euro car parts are in industrial estates so they could quite easily open workshops attached to their branches and give the parts to their own fitter to fit while the customers wait,rather than get independant garages to do a trial run for them,they already sell to the public why else would they be trying to get customers to go to garages they recommend
