🚗🔐 **Important Update for Our Customers – SERMI is Here!** 🔐🚗

At Gordon’s Garage, we’re committed to keeping your vehicle safe, secure, and fully compliant with the latest regulations. That’s why we want to let you know about SERMI – a new requirement that affects vehicle repairs across the UK and Europe.

👉 What is SERMI?
SERMI (Security-Related Vehicle Repair and Maintenance Information) is a new certification system designed to protect vehicles from theft and unauthorised access. It ensures that only approved garages can carry out certain security-related repairs.

👉 What does it affect?
SERMI applies to work involving your vehicle’s security systems, such as:
• Key programming and replacement 🔑
• Immobilisers and alarm systems 🚨
• ECU (engine control unit) access 💻
• Some advanced diagnostics and software updates

👉 What does this mean for you?
To carry out certain repairs under SERMI regulations, we may need to:
✔️ Verify your identity (photo ID required)
✔️ Confirm proof of vehicle ownership (V5C/logbook or similar)
✔️ Record details securely as part of the process

👉 Why is this important?
These steps help prevent vehicle theft and ensure your car stays protected at all times.

If you’re unsure whether your repair falls under SERMI, just give us a call or pop in—we’re always happy to help and guide you through the process 👍
