HENRY'S AUTOS MOT's while you wait

Our story

A family garage,
built on reputation.

Henry Patel hardly needs any introduction to the motorist of Wellingborough and the surrounding area.

Henry started his career as an apprentice with York Ward & Rowlett in 1970, and he has been maintaining cars to a high standard ever since.

It was perhaps inevitable that he would start his own business. In 1984 Henry took the plunge and opened a garage in Arthur Street, Wellingborough.

By 1988 Henry's Autos had grown enough to move to its current premises on Salem Lane, and within a year it had developed further to become an MOT testing station.

The business has been so successful that it now employs five mechanics alongside Henry himself, with both of his sons working at the garage. It is a family business in the truest sense, and the motto has stayed the same: service with a smile!
