What does accreditation mean for businesses?<\/h2>\r\n

The Motor Ombudsman is the first and only ombudsman dedicated to the automotive sector. Thousands of businesses across the UK have gained accreditation to one of our Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI)-approved Codes of Practice covering car sales, servicing and repairs, new car warranties and extended warranties . They offer clear-cut customer service expectations for car owners and a revenue opportunity for accredited businesses.<\/p>\n

Knowing that you adhere to our CTSI-approved codes of practice gives customers confidence in you as a trusted, responsible business: a business that puts them first, always.<\/p>\n\r\n \r\n Benefits of joining <\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
