Starting as coach builders Fred Smith and Sons (Motor Bodies) Limited have grown throughout it's 75 year existence and branched into vehicle repairs on HGV's, Vans and cars, also MOT's and servicing on all types of vehicle (including motorcycles) and most recently Truck Rental.

The knowledge and experience that we have acquired throughout the years enables us to offer unrivalled customer service throughout all of our divisions. We are confident that whatever you require we will be able to serve your needs and offer you a service that gives you confidence and satisfaction and in turn leads to a long, harmonious relationship.

We believe in traditional customer service values.
