Rumney Automotive MOT Centre

Starting Up A Garage

Rumney AutoMotive MOT Garage


Starting A Business After Redundancy..

Steven Lavinaro and good friend and work colleague Anthony Curtis, set up Rumney Automotive Centre Ltd, at Unit 5 Wentloog Buildings, Rumney in 2014. After being made redundant, although both had offers of new jobs,  they believed with the economy on the up, it was the right time to start up a garage, and have a MOT test centre of their own!
