Services
In 1954 Norman Ashley, his wife, Christine, and their three sons Michael, Peter and John, left 'Yat Garage', in Ross On Wye, and headed down to sunny Torbay to open a new garage. Central Garage in Milton Street, Brixham, was born and consisted of a small workshop and 2 pairs of petrol pumps.
Having run a garage previously, they knew what was needed to be successful and started to build up the business, focussing, as always, on exceptional customer service.Sadly, in 1958, aged only 56, Norman Ashley died and left Christine and their three sons to continue his legacy. A year later, in 1959, after five successful years of trading, it was time to expand.

I was looking for a mazda 3 headlight, I originally phoned for a part number to find one elsewhere, the staff are really helpful not only did they provide me with the part number but I was also given really helpful advice in what may be the cheepest option for myself. Ie breakers or online.
As it turned out the price central garages offered me for the part was the most competitive, guaranteed to fit, and least hassle. (who would of thought going directly to a main dealer would be the cheepest option and with the least stress)
I highly recommend this garage and thank the staff for all there help

Travelled 136m x2 to view a Mazda2.We soon realised the advertising spec for the car was different to the advert online & pasted to window.The car had a badly scratched passenger side broken 'skirt.'Promising to repair skirts/polish headlights (this was written down on receipt)we went ahead. On picking it up -the 'broken skirt' had been 'pop riveted' together & sprayed with touch up aerosol & looked worse than before.Acknowledged as a bad repair -said they would have another go & we could pick it up in a week (which would be another 136mx2!) or we could have £50 to get repaired ourselves(not sure
