D&G Autocare has expanded its network with the opening of its 19th branch in the Wardpark Industrial Estate in Cumbernauld. The new £200,000 facility, led by manager Stefan McMahon, brings the company one step closer to its goal of having 20 garages within 20 years of its founding in 2004.

The new garage, located at 39 Tollpark Place, Wardpark East, will serve cars, vans, and light commercial vehicles as a DVSA Vehicle MOT Testing Station for Class 4 and 7. It will offer a range of services, including full servicing, MOTs, repairs, wheel alignment, and the fitting of tyres, brakes, and clutches. The branch currently employs five local mechanics and plans to add to its apprenticeship scheme.

Pete Wood, Operations Director for the D&G Autocare Group, said: “We are incredibly pleased to have reached garage number nineteen.” He noted that the pandemic had delayed their expansion plans but stated, “We are back on track, and hope to introduce garage number twenty, in 2026, if we find the right location.”

Wood also emphasised the company’s focus on the Scottish market, saying: “Although we made the move into England last year, and may yet look to expand further down south, the Scottish Central Belt remains our heartland.”

McMahon, the new branch manager, said he is “really enjoying the challenge of establishing this new garage” and that D&G is well known for providing “real value for money, and a quality service.”

The company is also looking to expand its apprenticeship program. “We now grow the scheme even further, planning to have at least two apprentices within every D&G branch,” McMahon said.
