- Windscreen and Wipers: The windscreen is inspected for damage or chips, while the wipers must operate effectively to maintain clear visibility.
- Mirrors and Indicators: These are checked for correct positioning, visibility, and functionality.
- Seat Belts: The condition and functionality of seat belts are vital to ensure passenger safety.
- Brakes: A thorough inspection of the braking system ensures it operates effectively and meets the required standards.

About Reg Greenwood:
The name Reg Greenwood has been a fixture in Pontefract for more than 70 years, representing a legacy of dedication, hard work, and commitment to the community. The company’s roots go back to the days when it was founded by Reg Greenwood, a local businessman with a vision. What began as a simple operation of delivering potatoes up and down the country soon evolved into something much larger. Over the years, the company diversified and expanded its operations, venturing into new territories and industries. One of its earliest and most notable expansions was into the agricultural sector, where it developed a strong reputation for supplying agricultural tyres through its locally renowned ‘On the Farm Service.’ This service became an essential resource for farmers in the area, providing them with high-quality, reliable tyres for their machinery. As the company grew, so did its ambitions, and it began offering car and commercial tyre services to meet the needs of a broader clientele.
The business was a family affair for many years. After the passing of the original founder, Reg Greenwood, the torch was passed to his son-in-law, Reg Thompson, who carried on the family legacy. Under his leadership, the company continued to grow and serve the community. Unfortunately, tragedy struck in 1981 with the untimely death of Reg Thompson. However, the company’s story did not end there. In the same year, the business was purchased by Ken Clarke, a local entrepreneur and owner of Ossett Tyre House (Ken Clarke Ltd). Ken had been trading in the tyre industry since 1974 and saw great potential in the Reg Greenwood name. He recognized the deep connection the company had with the local community and chose to keep the original name, Reg Greenwood (Tyres & Exhausts) Ltd, as it was a household name that had come to symbolize quality and trust for miles around the Pontefract area.
Under Ken Clarke’s leadership, the company entered a new phase of growth and modernization. In 1996, the business made a bold decision to invest in a complete overhaul of its facilities. Recognizing the need to move away from the stereotypical “back street garage” image that often deterred customers, the company sought to create a space that was not only functional but welcoming and customer-friendly. This transformation was especially aimed at attracting families and professionals who valued efficiency, cleanliness, and a high standard of service. The upgraded facilities set a new standard in the region, offering a comfortable environment where customers could feel confident in the services provided. The reimagined garage helped solidify Reg Greenwood’s reputation as a modern, forward-thinking company that put customer satisfaction at the heart of its operations.
As the years passed, Reg Greenwood (Tyres & Exhausts) Ltd continued to adapt to the changing needs of its customers and the automotive industry. Always looking for ways to improve, the company added new services to its portfolio, keeping pace with technological advancements and industry trends. Today, the company offers far more than it did 35 years ago, with a wide range of services designed to meet the demands of modern motorists. These include advanced 4-wheel alignment, state-of-the-art vehicle diagnostics, comprehensive servicing packages, and vehicle security solutions. Each of these services is delivered with the same attention to detail and commitment to quality that has been the hallmark of Reg Greenwood’s operations for decades.
What began as a small, family-run operation has grown into a well-established and respected name in the tyre and automotive service industry. Reg Greenwood (Tyres & Exhausts) Ltd stands as a testament to the enduring power of a business built on strong values, community ties, and a relentless drive to evolve and improve. Today, the company continues to look for new opportunities to expand and innovate, always staying true to the legacy that began more than seven decades ago.
