Friends open new business JD Garage and Performance Centre in King's Lynn
A friendship formed when both their baby sons were in the neonatal unit at hospital has evolved into a business partnership for Paul Jones and Dan Dibley.
On Saturday they opened their new business JD Garage and Performance Centre at Austin Fields in Lynn.
They each have years of experience in the motor trade with Paul previously operating as PJ Performance and Dan as Dibley's Automotives. Their businesses were previously based at the East Coast Business Park in West Lynn.
They first got to know each other well when both their children, Axel Jones and Rudi Dibley, who are soon to be four years old, were born prematurely.
Said Paul: "We became close friends when our sons were in hospital, which was for a period of several weeks. Since then we have used each other's services and we liked how each other operated.
"We decided if we got together as business partners we could offer our customers much more as a team.
"JD Garage and Performance Centre is an exciting new venture for both of us and now we have much bigger premises, we can offer even more to our customers and are looking forward to building up our business together."
They have both put in many hours preparing the premises in readiness for the opening on Saturday, giving it a complete new look.
Paul is an engine control unit (ECU) tuning specialist. ECU upgrades are designed to deliver increased torque and horsepower, smoother power output, safer overtaking and improved throttle response for both diesel and petrol engines.
Dan is a fully qualified mechanic and together they can provide a wide range of services including repairs, preparing a vehicle for MoT, servicing and maintenance.
