40 years, and still going strong.
Working independently in the motor trade for over 40 years, John Simmance has been based at Windmill Garage in Horndean for over 30 years.
The story
Humble start, with high standards.
Starting out from a garage at home and the back of a little mini-van. With the help and support from family and loyal customers, the business has grown into an important local institution.
From servicing, repairs, MOTs, Safety testing taxis for East Hampshire District council and being chosen by the MOT Ministry to pilot the new testing system; we have experience in a wide range of services and offer only the best to our customers.
Carrying high regard within the motor trade community, we take many phone calls from various colleagues in other businesses asking for advice and technical assistance. We aim to ensure that we are at the forefront of the mechanical curve as cars evolve.
