About Us
Established in 2014, The Garage Howden rebranded in 2021.
Formally known as RM Motor Engineers the name was changed to create a clear identity for the modern and well-equipped garage that it has become today.
We work hard to take the stress and dread out of having your vehicle repaired or serviced. Our focus is on making vehicle maintenance and repair as convenient, transparent and of the highest quality possible.
We recognise that we are privileged to be entrusted by you, the customer, to look after one of your most prized assets and we work extremely hard to maintain that trust.
The Garage Howden is one of only a few garages in the region that is an RAC Approved Garage, which recognises the high standards of quality, resources and professionalism of our garage. To gain this certification we had to pass the most stringent audit of our site, facilities and processes with a commitment to ongoing audits in the future.
Our comprehensive range of services are all done onsite thanks to the specialised and high specification equipment we have available, enabling us to work on all the latest models of cars, motorcycles, vans, motorhomes and 3.5t horseboxes.
