A family garage

Quality service at affordable prices, with the utmost attention to detail.

Riddell's Garage has been a family-run business in Bo'ness since Robert M. Riddell opened the doors in 1946. Today the third generation of the family runs the workshop, and the principles have not changed.

Your car is looked after using the latest tools and equipment, quality parts and, most importantly, quality engine oil. Work is checked thoroughly before it leaves the premises, so you can count on trouble-free motoring. That is the reason for our reputation.
