John Atherton Autos

In 1994 John set up on his own with a trolley Jack, tool box and one ramp in a small unit in Wood Street. Two weeks later John won a major commercial customer contract. The business grew and two years later expanded into the adjoining unit where an MOT bay and more repair ramps were installed. Wishing to maintain our high service levels, whilst increasing our throughput has meant constant investment in new equipment. We now have a total of 11 repair ramps, many having the capability to lift commercial vehicles. A second air conditioning re-gassing and diagnostics machine has been installed. Today we have 15 staff, many of our technicians having joined us as apprentices and stayed with us. It is primarily through the skilled and organised contribution of our technicians that we are able to offer the service level that our customers now expect from us.
