We would like to formally announce that effective 1st March 2026, Hill & Son will no longer operate as a Ford franchise. After careful consideration, we have made the decision to transition to an independent dealership.
While our franchise relationship is changing, our ownership, staff, and commitment to our community remain the same. This move will give us more freedom to offer a wider range of vehicles and services while continuing to provide the same trusted team and customer-first approach you know. Nothing changes about our commitment to you—only our ability to serve you even better.

We sincerely thank Ford Motor Company for the partnership over the years and extend our gratitude to our loyal customers for their continued trust and support.

Thank you, we look forward as we begin this new chapter!

For any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask or get in touch.

Garrett, Matt and team

Wednesday 26th November 2025 we will be closing at 2:30pm. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Not far!!…… we are now located 100m down, at the end of the same lane on the right hand side.

It is with deepest regret that we wish to announce the passing of our former salesman Terry Clegg. Terry was apart of Hill & Son for 25 years. His daily humour and antics were enjoyed by all known to him. He will be sorely missed.

Windscreen wiper blades don’t get the respect they deserve. They remove rain, snow and sometimes even ice and dirt from the windscreen of your car and they do it quickly and smoothly, at the push of a button. They endure extremes of temperature, winter weather to scorching sunshine. They may have to operate for hours at a time. And yet they’re made out of thin, flexible rubber — not exactly the sort of material that can take this kind of abuse indefinitely.

This makes windscreen wiper blades one of the hardest working — yet least durable — parts of your car. Over time, they’ll crack, become misshapen or lose their flexibility. Even if you were to live in a sunny dry climate without much rain — Southern California, for instance — Don’t think that your wiper blades will last longer. In fact, the heat and lack of moisture can damage the blades even if you never turn them on. Similarly, extremely cold weather can make the blades stiff and easily fractured.

Most experts say that wiper blades need to be changed every six to 12 months, though this depends both on weather conditions and on what make and what the blades are made out of.

You’ll know when your wiper blades need to be replaced because you’ll see streaking as they wipe the moisture from the windshield or even large gaps where no water is being removed. They may start making squeaking or chattering sounds (though this can also happen if you run the wipers when the windscreen is mostly dry). If left unchanged for too long, the material of the blade can shred and break loose from the arm. This can actually cause damage to your windscreen, as the metal or hard plastic of the arm scrapes across the glass. You don’t want this to happen.

We stock a wide range of Wipers. Just give us a call or pop in. We fit them FREE of charge.
