At Trust A Garage we love to celebrate high quality local businesses and garages don’t get more professional or close-knit than Clacton on Sea’s John Canham and Son.
Although the company’s founder, John, has been providing lorry recovery services since the early ‘80s, thanks to his reliability and great standards, his business has grown considerably. Today, John is joined in the company by his two sons, Matt and Mark. The two joined the family business in their late twenties, with Matt being co-Director and Mark being MOT manager. They are also joined by Matt's wife Emily, who is the office manager. It’s not strictly a family affair, however, as the company has hired external talent in the form of specialist HGV technicians and VOSA-approved MOT testers.
Despite over forty years in the industry, John Canham and Son Ltd have been registered with Trust A Garage for two years. In that relatively short time, they have gained a near perfect score, with customers rating them highly across all aspects of service. Here’s what some of them had to say.
"Mark Matthew and the team went above and beyond my expectations to help with my Renault Capture. I cannot thank them enough and have found my go to garage for all my needs. Thank you all" Gillian, April 2023.
"The help and advice went above & beyond their remit. Service was great and helpful. Definitely recommend." Paul, April 2023.

"Absolutely fantastic garage. Been using them for over 3 years and in that time they have worked on my van and car. Both to an exceptionally good standard. Nothing too much trouble and the attitude of all the staff is spot on. I would and have recommended them to all my family and customers and the feedback is the same. Wouldn’t go anywhere else now." Martin, June 2021.
