The Motor Trade Association of Western Australia vets all businesses who apply to be Members and requires them to meet certain quality standards and hold all relevant current licences.  We provide regular, up-to-date information and advice to members to assist them to meet their obligations to consumers and staff in accordance with current legislation. 

As a Consumer, your first course of action should be to put your complaint in writing to the business concerned.  An email is the best way to do this as you have a record of it which is time and date stamped.  Clearly and concisely outline the situation, your concerns and any outcome you expect as a resolution.  Request a response, by reply email, within a specific time frame.  If you are not happy with the outcome, you can then forward your initial complaint and the response from the business, along with any other relevant documents (e.g. orders, invoices, photos) to Consumer Protection.  This is a branch under the Department of Local Government, Industry Regulation and Safety (LGIRS).
