From 1959 to Today: The Cambridge Motors Story

From 1959 to Today: The Cambridge Motors Story

There are not many businesses that can say they have been part of a community for over 67 years. Cambridge Motors in Plumstead can.Since 1959, we have been more than just a garage. We have been a familiar face on the high street, a trusted pair of hands under the bonnet, and a name that generations of local families have come to rely on. While the world around us has changed beyond recognition — the cars, the technology, the roads themselves — our commitment to honest, reliable service has never wavered.Where It All BeganCambridge Motors was founded in 1959 by Maurice, a man with a passion for cars and an even greater passion for doing right by his customers. He opened his doors in Plumstead with a simple philosophy — be honest, work hard, and treat every customer like a neighbour. That philosophy built a business that would stand the test of time.A Family LegacyMaurice was more than a businessman. He was the heart of Cambridge Motors, and his values are woven into everything we do. After 64 years at the helm, Maurice passed away in 2023, leaving behind not just a business, but a true community institution. His sons Gary and Neil now carry the torch, honouring their father’s memory by upholding every standard he set. For the people of Plumstead, the commitment Maurice made to this community in 1959 remains as strong as ever.Growing With the CommunityPlumstead has changed enormously over the years, and so have we. We have kept pace with every generation of vehicle technology, from carburettors to fuel injection, from cassette players to touchscreen infotainment systems. But through every change, the faces coming through our doors have remained familiar. We have serviced the first cars of people whose parents were our customers. That kind of loyalty means everything to us.Why We Are Still HereIn an age of national chains and online-everything, independent garages like ours are rarer than they used to be. We are still here because we never forgot what matters — knowing our customers by name, giving straight answers, and taking pride in every vehicle that leaves our forecourt.Over 67 years. One family. Countless satisfied customers.If you have never visited us before, we would love to meet you. And if you are a familiar face — thank you. You are the reason we are still going strong.Cambridge Motors, Plumstead — established 1959. Founded by Maurice, continued with pride by Gary and Neil.
