In response to queries by The Straits Times, the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) pointed to new rules which rescind permission given earlier to motor workshops to continue doing emergency repairs and servicing vehicles used for essential services. ... ComfortDelGro's Spark workshops are also allowed to continue providing emergency repair services. But several other workshops - including those operated by authorised vehicle dealers - had received e-mails from last Saturday (April 25) of the change. Ford dealer Vantage got its notice on Monday morning. Managing director Christopher Chin said the company is appealing, as it has supplied vehicles to the police as well as the military, and would like to be able to continue servicing those. ST understands other affected authorised agents include multi-franchise group Wearnes Automotive, Nissan agent Tan Chong Motor and BMW agent Performance Motors.
