Right, so you’re thinking about starting an automotive business. Could be anything really – a garage, car dealership, parts shop, or maybe you’re getting into mobile repairs. Whatever it is, you’ve hit the same wall everyone hits: what the bloody hell do I call this thing?
I was chatting to my mate Dave last week. He’s been fixing cars in his garage for fifteen years, cash in hand, word of mouth, you know how it goes. Now he wants to go legit, get proper insurance, maybe rent a workshop. “The hardest part isn’t the paperwork,” he said, “it’s coming up with a name that doesn’t sound rubbish.”
Been there myself when I helped my brother set up his MOT centre back in 2018. We spent weeks going back and forth. Too boring and nobody remembers you. Too clever and people don’t get it. Too long and it won’t fit on the sign.
Here’s the thing about automotive business names – they need to work for everyone. The bloke who knows his way around an engine and the woman who just needs her car to start on Monday morning. Both need to look at your name and think “yeah, these lot know what they’re doing.”

Conclusion
Look, I’ll be straight with you. Half the automotive businesses round here have names like “Bob’s Motors” or “City Car Centre.” Nothing wrong with that, mind you. Bob probably does good work, and everyone knows where City Car Centre is.
But if you want to stand out, if you want people to remember you when their mate asks for a recommendation, you need something with a bit more character. Something that tells a story before they even walk through your door.
My brother went with “Apex MOT Centre” in the end. Simple, professional, easy to remember. Three years later, he’s got a waiting list. Could’ve been the name, could’ve been that he actually knows what he’s doing. Probably both.
Pick something you can live with saying a hundred times a day. Something that looks decent on a business card and fits on a van door. And for God’s sake, check if someone else is already using it before you get too attached.
Right then, time to stop reading and start choosing.
