By 'posting' to this forum, albeit available only to subscribers, you can still be liable for making defamatory comments. By submitting details of garages/workshops of whom you have direct personal experience and can evidence the substance of your remarks to ensure thay are fact-based comment, then you should be fine in much the same way as people can review hotels etc on Trip Advisor.

The problem comes as soon as you step outside those strict guidelines and someone starts posting more general, disparaging remarks that are more opinionated rather than factual.

There is a thread on here somewhere where member's can post their good experiences with garages, general consensus if I recall correctly was that slagging them off on a public forum could lead to all sorts of "legal" problems.

Thats why I am not naming names

yes i have the facts, receipts and unfortunately hearsay, wouldn't pin it on an individual just the name of the garage.
