But while many consumers may see Miosa as a benevolent institution that protects them from uncaring, profit-seeking motor dealers, not everyone shares their sentiments, particularly those on the other side of the fence. “My company is a small hybrid engineering business with seven staff that makes both automotive security items and nonautomotive products,” he says.
