    Phone-in on vehicle repairs

    9/10/1992 12:00 AM
     
     
    Are you a consumer with concerns about vehicle repairs?
     
    Do you think there should be minimum standards for vehicle repairers? Should there be better ways of resolving disputes between repairers and consumers?
     
    If you have got views on any of these issues, here is your opportunity to have your say.
     
    Cheryl Davenport MLC will be conducting a phone-in next Saturday morning (October 17) to hear people's views on the motor vehicle repair industry.
     
    Ms Davenport is chairing an inquiry into the industry for the State Government.
     
    Consumer Affairs Minister Yvonne Henderson asked Ms Davenport to consult widely with industry and consumer groups on all aspects of vehicle repairs, from legislation and standards to disputes and how to resolve them.
     
    "I am keen to hear the views of as many people and organisations as possible," Ms Davenport said.
     
    "The industry has a high profile in the community and it is important that the inquiry has a full picture before reporting to Mrs Henderson by early December."
     
    Callers should ring on Saturday (October 17) on (09) 222 0666 or 008 199 117 from country areas. This call is free.
     
    They will be asked a series of questions on their experiences in having a vehicle repaired, and their views of standards or premises and equipment.
