OUR TEAM
DD Auto Services Limited is a family run business that is situated just behind Sittingbourne high street on St Michaels Road. Previously known as West Street Garage, the garage was renamed DD Auto Services LTD when Darren took over as owner of the business on January 3rd 2017. Since Darren took over he has employed his son, Alix as the apprentice mechanic and his sons girlfriend, Vikki as the receptionist. However, now Alix is fully qualified too! Darren also occasionally gets helping hands from his father in law and other son with jobs and even previously had his mother in law running the office too. The other co-director of the company is Darrens wife Georgina, who helps to make important business decisions from behind the scenes.
