A family-run tyre business in Westcliff is preparing to celebrate its 36th year in business. Established in 1988 by John and Maria Michael, J Motors has become a trusted fixture on Hamlet Court Road.
The shop first opened its doors on 7 November 1988, and while it was originally a general car garage, it soon transitioned to focus on tyres and MOTs. Now run by the couple’s sons, Chris and Andy, the business has built a loyal customer base.
Maria Michael said the business’s longevity is a testament to its commitment to the community. “We’ve always been honest with customers,” she said. “The people who came to us in the beginning as young people now come with their own families. I think the key is that we have always treated our customers like family and will continue to do so.”
Chris and Andy Michael said they were proud to carry on their parents’ legacy. “It’s an honour to continue serving the community my parents have been a part of for so long,” Chris said. “We want to thank all our customers for their support over the years and look forward to serving them for many more to come.”
The shop will be holding a celebratory event at their premises on Saturday, 2 November, offering customers special discounts and giveaways throughout the day.
