Dales Automotive is an independent car dealership and Subaru main dealer whose workshop handles servicing, MOTs, advanced diagnostics and repairs, rated 4.9 from 118 reviews. Kelbrook Classics repairs, recommissions, restores and maintains classic, veteran and vintage cars from 1900 to the 1970s, from pre war Morris and Bentley to post war Triumph, MG, Aston Martin, Jensen, Lotus, Corvette, TVR and Morgan.
