Meet The Team ...
JOHN PALMOWSKI - Owner / General Manager / Senior Vehicle Technician ...
Owner and founder of John's Auto Repairs, John started life in the motor industry some 35 years ago when he joined the family business "Central Garage" which was a well respected local Garage located in Parkgate, Rotherham, South Yorkshire. John studied for his City and Guilds qualifications at Rotherham Technical College before passing with flying colours. He then spent a number of years in the family business specialising in Engine and Gearbox rebuilding whilst also working on all other mechanical repair aspects of the motor vehicle. He then left the family
business to take up posts at two multi-national companies to work as Depot Engineer and Worshop Manager, as well as a spell at two Ford Main Dealers (the later being a regional Cosworth Agent) where he specialised in the Ford RS range of cars and in particular the Ford Cosworth's. He then did a spell concentrating on the German marques of BMW and Audi before embarking on his final employed post of working on commercial vehicles and fleet cars. In 1998 John decided it was time to work for himself and John's Auto Repairs was created, specialising in all types of repair for the motor vehicle. His passion is Formula One Stock Car Racing and the almighty "American V8 engine" which he can rebuild to perfection as he has done this so many times before. With over 35 years of experience on all different vehicles you know your car is in safe hands when it is entrusted to John..........
CHRISTOPHER FOSTER - Vehicle Technician ...
Chris started in the Motor Trade 26 years ago working alongside John at "Central Garage", Parkgate. However, when John moved on, Chris took a different direction and went into Engineering, firstly working on fixed plant and then on mobile plant. He next went into the haulage industry and became a qualified HGV driver adding another string to his bow. In 1998 when John decided to set up the business he approached Chris to come back and work with him again. Chris jumped at the chance and now forms an integral part of the John's Auto Repairs team, where he specialises in fleet servicing, diesels and specialist part fitting as well as the breakdonwn and recovery service.
With genuine interest and care there is no one more dedicated to getting your car back on the road than Chris..........
