About Us

Bill Chinn founded Central Motor Co in August 1965 after working at Armoury Garage and Westway Service Station. He wouldn’t sign the deed on the 13th but would officially start the business on the 12th instead. His son, Steve, took over in 1995 after his retirement. Time has passed, and the company has grown and endured while neighbouring businesses in Bridgwater have come and gone. Customers from the ’60s still visit, as do their children and grandchildren. 

Now, we’re heading into our 60th year. We’re still a family-run approved garage, providing quality work and honest service. Customers are always welcome to see our mechanics at work and have a friendly chat.
