About & visit
Same family, same lane, since 1987.
Tappet started with one ramp and one Pike. Nearly forty years on, it’s four bays, six people and the same promise: a fair price, told straight.
Our story
From one ramp to four bays
1987
One ramp, one Pike
Dave opens up with a borrowed compressor and a second-hand ramp. First customer: the milkman’s float.
1996
MOT bay added
Dave and Jean qualify as MOT testers and the second bay opens.
2010
Sam joins the business
Sam starts on the tools, takes over the diary, and brings in hybrid training.
2019
Diagnostics bay
Imran sets up the diagnostics bay. Warning lights stop being guesswork.
Today
Six people, four bays
Still family-run, still in our first workshop, still answering the phone before eight.
