SETTING THE STANDARD

The website www.honestjohn.co.uk has announced the companies awarded a prestigious Highly Approved Trader (HAT) Standard for 2010. Motorists from across the UK were called on to vote for their favourite service providers from a short list.

“Motorists are under pressure from so many fronts,” says Honest John, “so it’s more important than ever that they can find service providers they can rely on to give them the best deals, decent service and, most importantly, who are trustworthy”.
