John Roberts, Managing Director of Smithy Garage, said: “Reaching 50 years with Mitsubishi Motors is a tremendous milestone for us, and one we are immensely proud of. Over the years, the motor industry has changed enormously, but the importance of looking after customers, building trust and delivering a reliable service has remained constant.”
