ABOUT US

History
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 Tim and Angela ran the business by themselves, but over the years, as the business expanded, more staff have been employed
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.
In early 2014, on the retirement of Tim and Angela, the company was acquired by their long serving technicians, Ian Coultas, Stuart Hales, and Steve Burnhill.
Ian has over 44 years of experience working as a vehicle technician in the motor trade from leaving school at 16 he went to work at a Rover garage for 14 years, after that he came to Tim Allsop's and has been here ever since, You could say hes part of the furniture.
Stuart has over 32 years as a vehcile technician in the motor trade, From leaving school he worked for 2 years on plant machinery, 16 years at Ford (including 7 years in the bodyshop) Finally he came to Tim Allsop's in June 2004 and has matured like a fine wine ever since.
Steve came to Tim Allsop's straight from school in 2004 and spent 10 years as a vehicle technician in the workshop (from boy to man) He now runs the office, overseeing the day to day operation, but he still occasionally gets his hands dirty.
As part of our ongoing commitment to our customers, in spring of 2014, we also employed Dave Hodges, adding full auto electrical repairs and installations to our portfolio.
On the 1st April 2021 Ian retired from the company and is enjoying a well earned rest.
