Our History

Over 50 years ago John Beale began his career as an mechanical engineer then later moved across into motor mechanics. John then managed a number of garages before he bought his first garage in the small village of Melplash in Dorset. After building a solid reputation and running Melplash Motors for 7 successful years John and his wife Sandra bought Long Ash Service Station in 1987.

After many successful years developing the garage and building a large customer base the running of the garage was handed over to John and Sandra's son Ross. Ross has come from a successful management career within the IT industry working within large organisations such as British Airways and the Ministry of Defence. Ross will draw upon his experience and skills to take the company forward into the future.
