Servicing to a standard
Article Abstract:
Ford and other auto makers have begun to create proprietary diagnostic systems, which will speed fault location and repair but are restricted to dealerships and non-independent garages. In Britain, 70% of garages, or 15,000, are independent. California's emission laws, however, are forcing manufacturers to develop certain mutually compatible diagnostic systems, so the trend to franchise-specific systems may be short-lived.
