About RT Motors

We are an independent garage in the East Midlands, that has been proudly serving drivers in Retford for over 22 years.

Who we are

We believe in honesty and integrity, taking the time to understand the root cause of a fault rather than simply replacing parts. Our workshop in Retford is equipped with the latest mechanical and electrical diagnostic tools, allowing us to service and repair even the most modern vehicles with confidence.

Excellent test drive with Quality Auto- I am back in the road after a long absence and buying my first car on my own. Sumbal and Nasheed were really supportive and answered all my questions really clearly and without being patronising. It was great to have a female salesperson and Sumbal put me at ease straight away. Thankyou so much!

Bought my Suzuki Jimny from Quality Autos. Friendly and helpful experience from start to finish. Collected car in excellent condition and very happy with contact throughout and presentation of vehicle. Would happily recommend to other purchasers, in fact I already have.
