and Bentley Garages |
Welcome
to the R.R.& B. Garages official website.
We are one
of the leading independent Rolls-Royce and Bentley motor car specialists
and a proud member of the “Rolls-Royce and Bentley Specialist
Association”. |
| Ian
Pinder, who retains sole ownership of the business, founded the
Company in 1984. Ian
was trained in the servicing and restoration of Rolls-Royce and
Bentley motor cars, and received glowing distinctions in his City & Guilds
qualifications. The business began in a small unit approximately ½ km
from where our grand new site is situated here in Bromsgrove. The
Company has, through the dedication of all the staff, built up
an enviable reputation in the classic car world, undertaking sales,
service and restoration, on all models of Rolls-Royce and Bentley
motor cars spanning the 20th century.
Our reputation for uncompromising detail and high
quality workmanship is second to none and has drawn many discerning
clients both national and international to our facilities. Now
that we are working from larger premises, we are able to undertake
more projects.

new purpose-built building comprising Showroom and Workshops enables
us to display a large selection of high quality examples of Rolls-Royce
and Bentley motor cars.
The Showroom is adjacent to both our paint
and mechanical workshops and we actively encourage all our visitors
to wonder around at their
leisure. All of our staff are very willing to stop and explain
what they are doing and answer any questions our guests may have.

We are one of the select thirty
companies worldwide who are accredited members of the Rolls-Royce
and Bentley Specialists Association (an association dedicated to
the conservation of Rolls-Royce and Bentley Motor cars) and whose
members strive to achieve and maintain the highest standards of
craftsmanship.
Since moving into our new premises we are pleased
to have received numerous comments from clients about the high
standards of our new
facilities and the work that we achieve. One client went as far
as to say “many of the main dealers would be envious of the facilities
we now provide for our clients”.
Being only 5 minutes drive from Junction 5 of the M5 motorway, if
you are passing we would like to welcome you to drop in for a coffee
and to view our facilities.
