Our Story
Our Owner Neil Hutchinson C.A.E F.I.M.I, started his working life as an apprentice for a local Mercedes Benz dealer in Chelmsford way back in 1978 after qualifying as technician Neil went to work for Essex Police for a while in their workshop at police headquarters, Neil was then approached by the new Mercedes Benz dealer in Chelmsford in1984 to join their team of technicians, he was quickly promoted to workshop controller and was nominated to become a member of the highly prestigious Mercedes Benz Technicians Guild.
In 1988 he went into management for a local BMW dealer, when the recession hit in 1990 Neil saw the opportunity to offer a refreshing, cost effective alternative to the franchise dealer network for all your car servicing requirements. Since these early days Neil and his team have developed and adapted to the ever-changing demands of our industry. In 2006 we started our association with BOSCH Car Service where Neil is a member of the national forum to help maintain and improve standards of service and training.
