Guildford Auto Servicing and Repairs Ltd., a family-owned garage nestled in the Ridgemount area of Surrey, is set to close its doors in early March 2025. The closure comes due to the redevelopment of the site for residential flats.
The owner expressed their resignation at the closure: “They are building flats here so unfortunately we have to go. There’s not much we can do.”
Planning permission for the development of 19 residential units was granted by Guildford Borough Council in March 2021. The site where Ridgemount Garage currently operates spans approximately 0.45 acres.
Guildford Auto Servicing and Repairs has announced a closing down sale of their tools and equipment on their Facebook page. The equipment, described as being “in good condition,” includes:
- John Beam Tracking Machine
- Dalby Spray Booth
- Tyre Balancing Machine
- Tyre Changing Machine
- Toolbox
- Jacks
- Ramps
- And more
Customers interested in specific items are advised to contact the seller directly through Facebook for pricing information.
Despite the closure, the garage has received positive reviews from customers on Google in recent weeks, praising their prompt service and high quality of work.
