RICKY Fenby Ltd, a family run garage for 15 years, has moved premises from Marston Trading Estate to Commerce Park in order to bring newer facilities, services and more stock to their customers.

The garage’s new site at Commerce Park boasts four ramps for servicing and repairs, and an MOT bay, as well as a larger forecourt to house their van sales and more customer parking. 

They also now have 10 members of staff including four technicians, two valeters, three office staff and one driver who all have the benefit of working in a great new environment. 

Owner, Ricky Fenby moved to Frome over 20 years ago, first gaining experience at John Snelgrove’s garage. He then started his own mobile mechanic business that has grown into Ricky Fenby Ltd today which he runs with his wife, Sarah,  

“We are a family run business who pride ourselves on our ability to provide an honest and highly knowledgable service with a wealth of experience for all motoring needs from a simple bulb replacement to major engine rebuilds,” said Ricky.

“All works are carried out using the latest diagnostic equipment and specialist tools by fully qualified technicians.

“We are also Frome’s only RAC approved garage. All sales of vehicles come with an RAC warranty which include 12 months RAC membership.”

They are also Uniroyal tyre stockists and keep a large stock of tyres on site from them and other brands; while they are also Varta battery approved installers and Shell Helix oils service specialists.

“It is exciting times for us here and we would like to thank our customers for their continued support over the last 15 years,” said Ricky and Sarah. “Because of your loyalty, it has enabled us to upgrade to bigger and better premises. 

“We wish to thank Dave at Hazelcliffe Ltd for his work building the new premises, he has made the whole process pain free and the quality of his work is second to none.” 

Services offered: • MOT testing class 4 and 7 • MOT repairs • Auto electrics (diagnostics ad installations) • Car and van servicing and repairs (all makes and models) • Tyres • Clutches • Mis-fuelling • Air conditioning • Recovery available • Exhausts • Wheel alignment and • timing belts.
