ABU DHABI // Car workshops in the capital will now get a rating between one and five in a new pilot project speirheaded by Abu Dhabi Quality and Conformity Council to improve vehicle repair standards.
A team including representatives of Saeed, the traffic safety and incident management service, will visit automotive workshops and rate them based on a number of requirements that fall under seven standards - security, health and safety, appearance and environment, manpower, tools and equipment materials, and methods of work.
Workshops that fail to meet the requirements will have to achieve compliance within a specific time period.
Abdullah Hassan Al Muaini, executive director of conformity scheme services at QCC, said: “We are confident that our vehicle workshop classification scheme will enhance the competitiveness of the emirate with regard to the quality of services provided to motorists, while providing an enriching experience for customers and members of society at large.
“The scheme aims to motivate car workshop owners to upgrade their offerings, improve the quality of their services and ensure customer satisfaction.”
