Proprietor Joe Hodgetts is fanatical about cars, but is also genuinely concerned about people and the mitigating as much as possible the effect his business has on the environment.
Providing a good, honest service is an imperative at Oakdene Autos which is why they are members of the Good Garage Scheme.
A culture of openness yet structured discipline in the workplace exists at Oakdene Autos and Joe will always support help his staff as much as he can. For many years, Oakdene Autos has offered work placements for young people excluded from normal school. Employing some of those youngsters pays testament to the excellent work he is doing.
Oakdene Autos also supports a local boys club, servicing their vehicles free of charge and often providing additional help when needed.
Although a self-confessed car fanatic, Joe does care about the environment and aims to reduce the impact of the business as much as possible. For example, he collects all the waste oil, sieves it and uses it for heating one of the workshops. He is also working with the Low Carbon Business to reduce the carbon footprint of the business.
