By becoming a member of the Motor Trade Partnership, businesses are able to prove that they are recognised by West Yorkshire Trading Standards as adhering to fair selling practices and provide high levels of customer service
With highly publicised mis-selling practices coupled with high numbers of customer complaints, some consumers are apprehensive when it comes to buying a vehicle or choosing where to have their vehicle serviced or repaired.
This means that it can be difficult for car dealerships and garages to gain trust, especially if they are new start-ups and are working hard to build a reputation.
For consumer confidence across the region, West Yorkshire Trading Standards introduced the Motor Trade Partnership in 2001. The scheme is dedicated to upholding high standards of customer service so that residents across West Yorkshire can buy with confidence.
