TWO motor dealerships have been given a vote of confidence.

Elams of Mirfield and Cawthorne-based Jayray Vehicle Solutions Ltd have both been presented with awards by West Yorkshire Trading Standards as members of its West Yorkshire Motor Trade Partnership.

Dealers and garages in the partnership are committed to providing customers with excellent service standards.

Elams of Mirfield was presented with a trading standards award from the partnership for the fifth consecutive year.

Jayray Vehicle Solutions Ltd was recognised for setting an excellent standard of customer service to West Yorkshire consumers over the past 12 months.

Graham Hebblethwaite, chief officer of West Yorkshire Trading Standards Service, said: “Choosing to use a garage that is a member of the partnership should give consumers the extra reassurance that they are dealing with a reputable trader and have the confidence that they will receive the excellent level of service that they are entitled to should anything go wrong.”

Clr Mohan Sokhal, a member of the trading standards committee, said: ‘With so much uncertainty regarding the motor trade industry, consumers should look to the Motor Trade Partnership to be confident with the decisions that they make when looking to purchase vehicles.

“The partnership provides a means of identifying garages that work in close partnership with the Trading Standards Service, showing their commitment to following the law and their efforts in striving to offer the best services to their customers.”

Nigel Priest, director of Jayray Vehicle Solutions Ltd, said: ‘We are delighted to receive this award which reflects the fantastic work carried out by the mechanics and support staff.”
