Trusted Auto Dealers & Fuel Services in Coleraine
Established in 1948 by the late Ivan Wilson JP, our business began as a petrol retailing operation in Coleraine's Waterside area. Over seven decades, we've evolved into a diversified group encompassing automotive sales, fuel distribution, and convenience retailing. Our 1969 expansion onto the Coleraine Limavady A37 road marked a strategic growth phase, followed by significant developments including the Saab franchise acquisition in 1978. Though the franchise concluded in 1999, we maintain Saab Approved Authorised Repairer status while offering broader vehicle options. As a family-owned enterprise, we uphold traditional values of fairness and customer-centric service across all our operations.Our team combines generational expertise with modern business practices to deliver value-driven solutions. With enduring partnerships with leading brands, we ensure quality and reliability across our service offerings. Our commitment to ethical business practices remains unwavering since our post-war establishment. Through economic cycles and industry changes, we've maintained focus on sustainable growth and customer satisfaction. This enduring approach has solidified our reputation as a trusted local business partner.
