Westfield Garages in Bridgwater

Helston Garages was founded in 1960 by Mr & Mrs Carr Snr, as a filling station and repairs workshop located in the small Cornish town of the same name. In the beginning, the business dealt in and serviced Austin, MG, and Morris cars.
A period of expansion started when Helston was bought by the Carrs’ son and daughter-in-law, Mr & Mrs Carr, in 1975. Helston’s first acquisition was a Renault dealership in Taunton; in the years since, the story for Helston has been one of continuous but stable growth.
Today the group is one of the 25 largest in Britain, and its 37 franchise dealerships provide customers throughout Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and Dorset with high-quality new and used cars and vans from thirteen different manufacturers (as well as servicing facilities for three more brands). Helston Motor Group is very proud of its history and is determined to retain the principles of honest dealing, customer service and staff welfare that are responsible for its 51 years of success.

K and R Auto Services Ltd, located in Tauton, is an independent garage that has been servicing and repairing all makes of car and light commercials since 1985 using factory trained technicians with state of the art tooling; this allows K and R to offer fleet companies and private individuals a one stop shop centred around excellent service with affordable pricing.

During 2009 K & R relocated to their new site having outgrown the original premises (all be it a stones throw away), enabling them to expand their services into new and used car sales, bodyshop smart repairs, paint-less dent removal, interior trim repair on velour, leather, plastics, and fabric as well as a valet department and a bespoke parts department to name but a few.

The new fully automated M.O.T bay and service centre has been designed to cater for all manufactures cars and light commercials all are serviced to the manufacturers standards; some of our partners include major fleet companies such as Wessex Water, British Gas, the Highways Agency and the One link platform. All these groups recognise the need for quality repairs, reduced vehicle down time with guaranteed workmanship at a reasonable cost (cheapest is not always the best). K and R have won the coveted Fleet Garage of the year several times; a credit to their staff and all concerned.
