Jason | Managing Director at CARS of Grimsby


I was born and raised in Grimsby, and always had a passion for everything automotive! After leaving school, I initially worked on the Docks with my Dad, before venturing into the car industry.


Although I was quite old for an apprentice at age 27, my passion for the car repair industry propelled me at an extreme rate. 25 years later, we own a successful accident repair centre founded on quality and excellent customer service. Our business has gone from strength to strength, and we’ve been at home in our bigger premises on the South Humberside Industrial Estate since 2018.


When you love what you do, it never feels like work – and I never have ‘Sunday feeling’!
