About Us
|
Deal of Kelvedon was founded in 1914 when Cyril J.Deal found a
local garage unhelpful in making a few minor adjustments to the
clutch on his car. Convinced he could provide a more helpful and
committed service, Cyril built the foundations for his business
next to Kelvedon train station. Selling second-hand motorbikes,
he soon had custom in the AA and Essex County Council and began
to build a strong clientele base. Cyril founded Cyril J.Deal
Ltd. in 1919. |

The 1959 fire disaster |
In
1959 disaster struck. A fire gutted the premises causing over
£20,000 of damage. But Cyril and his family, now all working as
a strong team, refused to be defeated and within six months and
much hard work the three-acre site had been rebuilt next to
Kelvedon Train Station. |
| We
have never looked back since. Now run and directed by Cyril's
grandsons - Robert Deal and Peter Hine - Deal of Kelvedon
continues to serve the community as a trusted, caring family
business - supporting the community whenever possible. |

The company success shines through when you consider that
virtually all Deal of Kelvedon staff (from sales to aftersales)
have been employed since the completion of their
apprenticeships; and we consider them all to be a vital part of
the Deal family organisation. Each qualified technician has use
of their own vehicle lift plus exclusive use of up-to-date
specialist tools and diagnostic equipment. |
| Dealing
with us is easy and we know that our customers return because
they are fully satisfied with this unique, family run service.
For example, our service reminder program. That’s where we write
to remind you when your car is due for MOT/Service and offer to
collect your car from home within our local area; or provide a
free courtesy car if you require it. If you decide to wait for
your car, we can provide a warm relaxed waiting area with free
hot & cold drinks. |
