Good Garage Scheme

[Deleted User]

A couple of local independent garages are on the GoodGarageScheme.com website with some good reviews from supposedly past customers. Should these reviews be taken with a pinch of salt or does it genuinely mean that the garage in question won't rip me off?

Thanks

There is never a guarantee against a rip-off. But I'd be tempted to use one that does have good feedback over one that has bad feedback...

I think a problem with these schemes is there's no way to prove independently that an author of any review is a genuine customer or that they are not affiliated with the management/ownership of the garage in question.

After a little Googling it turns out that the Good Garage Scheme is nothing more than a front for Forte engine additives. And is basically a con as no negative reviews get published.

I was about to say the same, think there's an old thread about this. Basically garages get kicked off the scheme if they don't sell enough additives/give forte enough money.
