Two fantastic cars and a great day in the workshop. 🚗💨

🚗💡 Do you know who invented the MOT test and why?
The MOT was introduced in 1960 by the UK’s Minister of Transport, Ernest Marples. Back then, it was called the “10-year test” and was created to make Britain’s roads safer by checking older vehicles for faulty brakes, lights and steering.

Fast forward to today, the MOT helps keep millions of drivers safe every year 🙌

Not sure when your MOT is due? Or need to get your car booked in? 👀🚘
📞 Give us a call today, we’ll help keep you safe on the road!

Did you spot the Ali & Michael Taxi from Thistle Cabs Group. After an emergency phone call this morning, the taxi had a serious coolant leak.
We got it straight into the workshop, fitted a new coolant pipe, refilled the system, and had them back on the road within 15 minutes.
Another quick turnaround and happy customers. 🚕✅

Lovely new plants now in the planters in front of the reception windows.
A big thank you to the team at Corton Plants & The Coo Shed for the beautiful plants they’ve brightened the place up perfectly!

If you’re looking for anything for the garden, definitely head over and check them out 🌸🌱.

Proud to support the Ayr Show (Ayrshire Agricultural Association) tomorrow!

We are delighted to be sponsoring a show jumping class once again this year. (Even though horses are not Andy’s favourite animal)🤣

A huge thank you to First Saddlery for providing the beautiful rug and saddle pad and The Logo Farm for the wonderful embroidery for the winners 🐴

Keep your eyes peeled for our sponsor banner around the show jumping arena 👀 Snap a picture with it, send it in, and you could win a prize.

If you’re heading along tomorrow, we hope you all have a fantastic day and enjoy everything the show has to offer. Fingers crossed the sunshine stays with us! ☀️

🫶✨ THIS SATURDAY SUPPORT Fraser Penman ON THE BIG STAGE ✨🫶

A few weeks ago, we had the absolute pleasure of spending the evening with Fraser at the Ayrshire Chamber of Commerce dinner at Trump Turnberry what an incredible person he is.
This Saturday, he takes to the LIVE Semi-Finals of Britain's Got Talent we honestly can’t put into words how amazingly humble Fraser is. His talent is something special, but it’s his story, passion, and dedication that truly set him apart.
He’s worked unbelievably hard for this moment, and now it’s time for all of us to get behind him. 💙

📺 SATURDAY 25TH APRIL – 7PM
🗳️ Vote for FREE: https://www.itv.com/vote/bgt

Let’s show our support and help him go all the way to the finals.
PLEASE give Fraser your vote!

🚨✨ SATURDAY 25TH APRIL – I’M IN THE SEMI FINALS (LIVE) ✨🚨

This Saturday, I step out LIVE on your TV screens… and honestly, I’m struggling to put into words how I feel.

I am BEYOND EXCITED… and absolutely TERRIFIED all at once.

From Scotland… to the BIGGEST stage of my life… about to deliver the MOST PERSONAL performance. 💙

Putting yourself out there is one thing… but putting your HEART out there for the world to see? That’s something else entirely.

I cannot put into words how hard I have been working behind the scenes to create a moment for the world… taking the BIGGEST risks with the MOST personal story.

Never in a million years did I think when I first applied I’d be here… it felt IMPOSSIBLE.

But in my imagination, since I was a little boy… I could SEE it. I could FEEL it. I could DREAM it. ✨

And that’s the truth…
IMPOSSIBLE is just a word.
It only exists if YOU believe it does.

This Saturday, I want to REWRITE what people believe is possible… to show that dreams aren’t just dreams. 💫

Because if you can see it in your imagination…
ANYTHING is possible. 🌟

👉 And trust me… you’ll be involved MORE than you think 👀

FOLLOWING A DREAM 💫

All my love,
Fraser 💙
