End of an Era!
You may have already heard our news - both Rob and Karen are retiring from Coates Garage as of 31st May.
We would like take this opportunity to thank all our loyal customers for their custom and supporting Coates Garage over the last 62 years. A local family owned business established by (Peter and Joyce Coates)isn’t a business without its staff, family and all involved and we’d sincerely like to thank all of those people who have helped us on our journey of more than 6 decades and for making Coates Garage what it has been. We also thank our long-standing and historical suppliers for helping us provide a quality service.
As has been said many times in the last few weeks, this is an “end of an era” but we are now looking forward to a long healthy and happy retirement. We will miss the daily interaction with our customers who we served personally and which has been a hallmark of our business and something we have been proud to provide. Whilst we are happy to be moving into the next stage of our lives, waking up on 1st June without having to come and open up will be a massive change and something we will genuinely miss …. Well maybe not!!
We are hoping to make this transition as smooth as possible for our customers, we will be operating forecourt services until the end of May - the workshop will close on 12th May. Our doors are open to anyone with a problem who may need advice.
The new owners are a family business - Penny Petroleum and they will take over from 1st June rebranding as Scorton Services and continuing operation of the forecourt and shop and we wish them every success.
Regards and very best wishes
Rob and Karen
