“James Kelly very much remains involved in the day-to-day running of the business and will still be the face you see – along with his daughter, Suzanne – when you bring your car in for its service, MOT or anything else it requires.

"We remain a small family-run business and will deliver the service and honest opinion on your car just as James has done for the past 30 plus years. We have also acquired the camper van company Kelpie Campers previously owned solely by Kevin and his wife Kirsty and we now sell camper vans.”
