For the first year the business was run from a small workshop in the town centre, but since 1981 has operated from St Johns Street and has grown significantly now occupying almost one acre. In the early years Angela and I ran the firm between us, but over the years, as the business expanded, more staff have been taken on, and now there a further 6 employees.
In 1995 we became a Class 4 MOT Testing Centre and 3 years later, as part of our continuing expansion, we took over the Park Garage business when the previous owners decided to emigrate. We were a Unipart Car Care Centre from 1995 to 1999 and received accredited awards every year.
After this we were approached by Bosch to take part in a pilot scheme of only 8 garages in the country to trial the Bosch Care Service Network, which was real honour. We gained Bosch Quality Audit Certificates in 2006, 2009 and 2010 and with our help Bosch have now achieved a network of indepent garages totalling 500 in 2011.
