why become an FER member?

 

Why use an FER member?

The Federation was set up to improve and advance the standards of engineering within the engine re-manufacturing and re-conditioning industry. To this end the Federation sets, as its minimum standard, the British Standard BS AU 257: 1995. Every member has to agree to work to this standard and there are checks to ensure they comply.

All of this is designed to ensure that if a customer uses an FER member, he or she can do so with confidence, knowing that they will receive good quality work, which is guaranteed for twelve months and the back up of the Federation’s Complaints procedure should things go wrong.

All members pride themselves on the work they do. They are all professional people with an enormous amount of skill and expertise in their field. They are also extremely enthusiastic about their work and engines in particular. Customers can go to a member and discuss their requirements knowing they will get a straight answer to the query. This may not always be the one they want to hear (perhaps the engine is beyond repair!), but it will be a truthful one based on many years experience in dealing with engines.

The service of an FER member does not stop at just rebuilding an engine or skimming a head. All members have an extensive knowledge of automotive parts and components, and their quality. They will be willing to discuss your requirements with you, and offer help and advice as to which is the best product for your use. They can also supply you with these components from a range of quality suppliers.

As with all things, there are good, and not so good products on the market; by talking to an FER member, you can be sure of receiving sound advice and a competitive price for the product.

There are many unscrupulous engine re-manufacturers in business who would not even qualify to be members of the FER. They charge a cheap price for a cheap job. This is all very well until the engine supplied goes wrong (which always seems to be many miles from home in the pouring rain!). To avoid this, and ensure that the product you get is top class then use a member.

Remember, when using an FER Member you get:

  • Years of skill and experience
  • A top quality job or replacement
  • Quality parts and components
  • Value for money (not necessarily the cheapest)
  • The backing of a National Organization
  • Peace of mind

This is why we are constantly getting referrals from the motoring organizations such as the AA.
