Yes its bad how all our local companys an drivers keep their vehicle conditions but only 2 of our cabs were stopped an they found no major problems and let them free, I recently approved the condition of my taxi every thing init is new even thoe there isn't much trade all our cabs are at good condition now as thies vehicles are our money making machines if there not at best of shape how could we run our bussines and make a living if public don't use them as of there condition but every vehicle that was taken off the road was the private hires as only a few of them are in good shape and the rest are embarrassing, I hope the very best for the owners who can see there cars dirty an unroad worthy

Local Albanians are very good at £10 in and out.

Worth every penny. And one wash a year is more than enough. :shock:

And all you are doing is helping to take down legit businesses who pay proper wages. These illegal washers are taking trade away from hard working, tax paying people.

Do you know of any hand car washes where the washers declare their income? :?
