Car service centre accelerates growth with finance deal

Truro-based asset finance provider Ignition has helped give a new independent car service centre a racing start by arranging finance for vehicle and essential garage equipment worth £50,000.

The A30 Auto Service Centre opened its doors last week, catering for all MOT, servicing and light repair needs, and specialising in prestige brands such as Jaguar, Land Rover and VW.

Located in the Victoria Industrial Estate on the A30, the business is being launched by Chris Oxley.

He said: “I always dreamed of running my own business, and saw an opportunity to create a one-stop shop for customers’ long-term vehicle needs, offering a premier service at a fraction of the price of the larger franchises.

“I’m fortunate to have found the perfect location for the business, and to have a talented and experienced team of directors and mechanics joining me.”

Ross Hyde, relationship manager at Ignition, said: “It has been a pleasure to support Chris in the launch of his excellent new business.  He and his team have a wealth of experience, and with such a strong customer-focussed ethos, it is sure to be a great success.”
