The new Sidmouth Garage is an exciting milestone in East Devon’s motoring history representing a significant investment in the local economy.

The new Sidmouth Garage is here! Following a major investment by the Belcher family, Sidmouth Garage – Slade and Sons has come together under one roof to provide enhanced services for motorists across East Devon. Located at our premises in Salcombe Road, it combines decades of expertise, trusted mechanics and the diagnostic equipment to offer a one-stop solution for all vehicle needs.

A fresh chapter for Sidmouth Garage

Having purchased the businesss in August 2024 from its long-time owner Nigel Hillier, the Belcher family have seamlessly integrated its experienced team into Slade and Sons Ltd, a business with over 70 years of trusted automotive care. Together, we’ve created a unified service centre that brings the best of both worlds – a heritage of reliability and a forward-looking commitment to innovation.

Service Manager Philip Hancock explains: “Bringing our teams together means we’re able to offer even more to our customers. From MOTs and servicing to repairs and tyres, we’re equipped to work on all makes and models, including hybrids.”

The same trusted team—with more to offer

At the heart of the new Sidmouth Garage is its exceptional team of mechanics. Familiar faces like John, Richard, and Spencer have joined the Salcombe Road workshop, ensuring continuity for long-time customers. John, who has worked in Sidmouth for 24 years, says: “While the location of the old Sidmouth Garage has changed, the same trusted service remains! We’ve just moved across the road and are still the same mechanics. Our quality isn’t any different and, in fact, we can now offer much more.”

They are joined by the skilled Slade and Sons team, including Peter, who has been a mechanic since school. “With the new team joining us, there’s a great atmosphere in the workshop,” he shares. “It’s exciting to see us grow and bring even more expertise under one roof.”
