Websites for garages, built in Poole

Bournemouth's independent garages are spread from Winton and Charminster out to Boscombe, with the A338 Wessex Way funnelling trade in from across the conurbation.

Poole is our home patch — many of its garages cluster around the Nuffield and Mannings Heath industrial estates and along the A350 up towards Fleetsbridge.

Christchurch sits just east of Bournemouth on the A35, with trade units gathered around the Somerford and Airfield industrial estates.

Ferndown is a commuter town north of Poole, and much of its motor trade is concentrated on the sizeable Ferndown Industrial Estate off Cobham Road.

Blandford Forum is a Georgian market town on the A354 between Salisbury and Dorchester, where an independent garage typically serves a wide rural catchment.

Dorchester is Dorset's county town, drawing drivers from a broad rural area, with trade units around the Grove Trading Estate and newer development out at Poundbury.

Weymouth is a seaside town at the end of the A354, with much of its motor trade on the Granby Industrial Estate serving both locals and the summer visitor rush.

Ringwood is a Hampshire market town on the A31 at the western edge of the New Forest, a short hop over the border from the Dorset garages we already visit.

New Milton sits between Christchurch and Lymington on the New Forest coast, close enough to our Dorset base that an in-person visit is easy.
