Professional Family Run Country Garage.Thos. B. Oliver is a family run business and has been established since before 1919. However, Thomas B Oliver himself was the man who introduced Motorcycles into the business in 1919, when at that time, we offered a full Wedding Taxi Service, Pick-Ups from the nearby train stations etc.The business was then passed onto James B Oliver (Jim). Jim was, a keen enthusiast for both modern and classic motorcycles and cars, and this was reflected in the running of the business.Jim also sponsored various Road Racing riders, and on occasions, sidecars. His most famous sponsorship was probably that of Garry Hislop, who won the Newcomers Manx Grand Prix in 1982, but was sadly killed in the same year. Jim also sponsored Gary's brother Steve 'Hizzy' Hislop, who served his apprenticeship as a mechanic at this very garage.The business continued to expand and grow and continued to Service & MoT, Motorcycles, Trikes/three wheelers, cars, 4x4's, Quads, Classic Car Repairs and Light Commercials as we do today.
