We’ve got some exciting news to share.
From April 1st, DCM Autocentres will be expanding with the opening of a second Blandford branch, as we take over Blandford Heights MOT & Service Centre.
For us, this isn’t just about growth. It’s about building on something that’s already well respected within the local community.
Keeping what people already trust
One of the most important things for us was making sure that everything customers already value about the centre stays exactly the same.
That means the customer-facing side of the business will remain as it is, including the existing branding and the familiar look people recognise. Just as importantly, the current team will all remain in place.
The people who have been looking after customers day in and day out will continue to do so, now as part of the wider DCM group.
A familiar face still around
We also know how important continuity is.
Rich, the previous owner who many customers know well, isn’t going anywhere. He’ll still be around, which means you’ll continue to see a familiar face and the same genuine approach that the centre has always been known for.
That continuity was a big part of making this transition feel right.
Building on strong foundations
Blandford Heights MOT & Service Centre has built a strong reputation over the years for quality work, honest advice and good customer service.
Our goal isn’t to change that. It’s to build on it.
By bringing the centre into the DCM Autocentres group, we can support the team with additional resources, experience and ideas, while still keeping the same level of service that customers expect.
What this means for customers
For customers, the experience should feel familiar.
You’ll still see the same team, the same faces and the same approach to looking after your vehicle. The aim is simple: keep the trust, keep the quality and keep the community feel that’s already there.
At the same time, over the coming months, we’ll be looking at ways to introduce a few improvements and fresh ideas where they make sense.
Continuing to grow locally
This new branch marks another step forward for DCM Autocentres, alongside our existing locations in Shaftesbury and Blandford.
We’re proud to continue growing within the local area, and even prouder to do it in a way that supports existing businesses, teams and communities rather than replacing them.
Looking ahead
We’re really looking forward to getting started and working closely with the team at the new Blandford branch.
Most importantly, we’re looking forward to continuing to serve the local community with the same honest, reliable service people have come to expect.
If you’re already a customer, nothing changes. If you’re new to us, you can expect a warm welcome and a team that genuinely cares about doing things properly.
