Nationwide Autocentres, the independent garage group, has acquired a new service centre in Telford. The purchase will see the company's portfolio rise to 212 units.

The former Universal Motor Services at Court Works Industrial Estate in Madeley, Telford, is licensed to carry out MOT for classes one, four, five and seven, amongst other standard repair work. Following a thorough audit by the AA, the 14 bay service centre will become part of the 'AA Approved' Nationwide Autocentre network.

Nationwide Autocentres is based in Solihull, West Midlands and services more than 15,000 vehicles every week, as well as carrying out more than 300,000 MOT tests every year. Its network of service centres is the only one approved by the AA.
