ABOUT US
Joe Ridley was always interested in anything with wheels - in 1970 he decided to turn his passion into a thriving business servicing all kinds of vehicles in Bishop Auckland and the surrounding area. His son, Paul, became involved in 1984, with his younger son, Tony, joining the business in 1993. More recently, Paul's sons, Kane and Arron, has decided to follow in his fathers footsteps and join the team.
