About Hofmann’s
Hofmann’s is a motor vehicle engineering business which was founded in the 1940’s by local motor racing enthusiast Fred Hofmann – a bona fide “Bentley Boy”. Fred is no longer with us, and the custodianship of the business now rest with myself, Chris Randall, and has done since 2007. My aim has been to bring the business into the modern world. We can still rebuild a Vintage Bentley but now we can also service your everyday car or provide your MOT.
Like Fred, my passion for cars began with motorsport, a sport which has imparted on me a burning desire to be the best. For Hofmann’s that means I want the very best team, the very best customer service, and the very best value for my customers. I believe strongly in embracing the fundamentals of vehicle engineering and my team possess the skill to strip and repair engines, axles and gearboxes. In a world where technicians plug in their laptops and turn off their brains, we stand out. For you this means the quickest route to a repair, it means an expert has checked over your car and that its fixed right, first time.
