taras Posted October 2, 2013 Author Posted October 2, 2013 Thanks guys. We couldnt had done it without the support of the club members. Quote
Ekona Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 So how do you become a member, then? Do they come and check your premises, paperwork and past works, or is it just a pay-some-money-and-agree-to-the-code-of-conduct kinda thing? Congrats either way btw, I'm just genuinely curious Quote

Congrats either way btw, I'm just genuinely curious A bit of both. Yes you have to pay to become a member but only after a series of interviews and inspections because you have to pass a series of practice codes which they set out for you to meet. In the past when we looked into gettjng our selves as insurance approved, we found that the there was no such standard. As long as you can work quick, produce satisfactory results and willing to bend financially in favour of the insurance companies cheaply, you will be insurance approved. Dealership approved is much more difficult. You need to be part of an automotive board such as the VBRA even before you can approach a dealer for work. Edited October 2, 2013 by RT-Performance Quote

ioneabee Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Excellent - well done In the building trade we have "The Federation of Master Builders" - sounds impressive doesn't it ?? !! - In actuality, you pays your money and hey presto - you're a "Master Builder" :wacko: 1 Quote
taras Posted October 3, 2013 Author Posted October 3, 2013 lol. I guess something like building trade is more difficult to regulate because you work all over the place and a lot of it is cash in hand work. Funny enough I have heard of TFOMB in the past. Quote
HaydnH Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Well done guys, that reminds me... I really need to drop my car off for that rear bumper work! Quote
