OPINIONISTA: Consumer rights: Why a new motor code will strengthen SA car owners’ rights By Filum Ho

As a result, there are several controversial claims out there that have been made by opponents to the code recently, which I will seek to briefly challenge here.
Another major claim perpetuated recently by the anti-motor-code lobby is that independent and aftermarket providers aren’t equipped or ready yet to service the new car market.
