Our story
From Blossomgate to the Business Park.
1995
Opening our doors
Blossomgate Motors opened in spring 1995 as an independent garage on Blossomgate, in the centre of Ripon, which is where the name comes from. The aim from day one: a cost-effective alternative to the main dealers, with a professional and friendly service.
2004
A purpose-built home
We relocated to a purpose-built unit on Ripon Business Park, off the Boroughbridge Road, where we still are today at Unit 2, Navigation Way.
Today
A complete package
MOT testing for cars, vans, motorbikes and mopeds, servicing and general maintenance, air conditioning, tyres, diagnostics and repairs, whatever the make or model.
