During its membership of the Approved Code Scheme, Test Autos Ltd. agreed to abide by a customer-centric Code of Practice administered by AA Cars (an accredited 'Code Sponsor' organisation). This Code of Practice - which is approved and regularly audited by Trading Standards professionals (representatives of the Chartered Trading Standards Institute) - ensures that member businesses offer higher levels of customer service and stronger consumer rights than those included in UK law alone.
In practice, membership of the Scheme involves agreeing to a range of measures that guard against 'sharp' sales practices (e.g. no cold-calling or hard-selling), or overly-complicated and misleading information about products or services. In addition, members ensure that their contracts, terms and conditions, and complaints process are all clear and fair. And, in the event that something goes wrong, they also agree to abide by a fast, inexpensive, and independent dispute resolution process. In this way, members of the Scheme set themselves apart from less reputable businesses – by clearly signalling that they are reliable, trustworthy and legitimate business that treat their customers with due care and attention at all times.
Unlike similar schemes, membership of the Approved Code Scheme isn't something businesses can simply 'pay and display'. Continued membership of the Scheme demands dedication to meet and maintain the strict consumer protection requirements of the Scheme, and a long-term commitment to raising standards across the entire sector.
As Test Autos Ltd. is no longer a member of the Approved Code Scheme, if a dispute arises between you (the customer) and Test Autos Ltd. (the business), neither AA Cars nor the Approved Code Scheme can intervene on your behalf. Instead, we suggest you contact the business directly and request details of their Customer Complaints procedure.
While membership of the Approved Code Scheme cannot guarantee that member businesses offer the best service possible, or provide a seamless or trouble-free customer experience, they must abide by the strict terms of their membershipor face a range of disciplinary measures (ultimately, this can include expulsion from the Scheme). However, once a business has left the Approved Code Scheme - either by its own volution, or as a result of disciplinary procedures - none of the Scheme’s robust safeguards, consumer protections or customer service commitments apply.
