Incorporated in 1986, K&R Auto Services Ltd still remains one of Taunton’s most established and respected garages. Still in the same original family ownership, the garage has thrived over the many years of trading to become the proud success it remains.
2008 – 2021 saw the business align with Mitsubishi Motors of which we are still an after sales franchise.
2021 to present saw the rebranding of the showroom to become The Motor Company (Taunton).
2025 will see the exciting plans of growth for both K&R Auto Services and The Motor Company to include new company branding, a new service centre partner, increased stock and a generic push to continue many years of growth and success.
To enable this growth, we are excited to announce several new roles which we are now recruiting for.
