How CARS was founded
CARS of Grimsby is a family-run accident repair centre and was founded in 2012 by Jason & Lisa Barker.
Here are some words from our Managing Director:
After years of upskilling and learning as much as possible about the vehicle body repair industry, I built up a fleet of mobile accident repair vehicles, carrying out work across Lincolnshire and beyond. We reached a point where we’d maximised our growth on this path, and wanted to achieve something bigger…
Initially, we opened our first bodyshop on Birchin Way in Grimsby. We wanted to become the go-to garage in the area, offering credible, non-biased advice, and of course, repairs of the highest quality.
In late 2013, we opened a satellite site offering high quality repairs for the HGV industry. In 2017, we bought our new premises on the South Humberside Industrial Estate and carried out a full refurbishment, including the installation of high-tech estimation and repair equipment, bringing all operations together under one roof.
Almost 11 years from when we first started CARS, we now have a highly qualified and knowledgeable team, offering combined experience of over 100 years and a broad range of auto services throughout Grimsby, Cleethorpes and beyond.
We are a fully independent business and are not associated with any car insurance companies, which allows us to provide a high-quality service and satisfactory customer journey.
