About us

Based in Allenton, Derby and established in 1953, J.G.Bestwick Ltd. are able to offer a huge range of goods and services. Customers will benefit from courteous and knowledgeable staff, who between them, carry a wealth of valuable experience.

"J.G.B" has an excellent customer service record that has created a 1st class, long standing reputation for the firm. It has had to “change with the times” and offers a very different profile of products and services to what it did in 1953!

We endorse our commitment to quality retailing and good service by being part of the organisation.

“A1” are a buying group and were formed in 1983. They currently consist of over 260 independently owned premier automotive aftermarket retailers and JGB are proud to be associated with this organisation.

In addition to our retail shop we also offer Locksmith Services and while-u-wait key cutting for home, car and commercial applications. We are also able to supply transponder keys and remote controls for numerous vehicles. Our caravan service engineer is able to fully service caravans at your home with our popular mobile service facility. We come to you! (Local Derbyshire area only)

Compelling reasons to shop with us.

We believe our store is the only place you would want to shop for car, light commercial, motorcycle and caravan accessories. However we accept that there are other retailers you may chose and so here are the key issues for making J. G. Bestwick Ltd your first and only choice. These key points are integral elements of the A1 Motor Stores organisation and are the very ethos of how we operate at “JGB”.

We strive to satisfy our customers.

A key ingredient is enthusiasm and passion. We are an independent, family owned shop and we rely on your custom in order to prosper. This makes for a really compelling reason to shop with us as we want to satisfy your needs with the right product first time. We don’t want to “sell” you more than you need because we want you to return time and time again. Equally, we have the desire to make sure you don’t go home without mentioning other items that you may require in order to complete the job.

The passion to satisfy helps you complete your project, however large or small, in the minimum time and with the best possible result. We guarantee a better shopping experience than your average motor accessory store.

We understand the products we offer.

Combined with a passion to satisfy your need is the product knowledge and experience available at “JGB”. We can normally find a solution to the trickiest of DIY motoring problems.

Lets examine the purchase of what might seem a relatively simple item – the replacement headlamp bulb. Sure , you could buy one from your local supermarket, petrol station or DIY store but did you know that there are more than a dozen types of headlamp bulb used in cars today. There are also various options available to upgrade the bulb to improve vision in varying road conditions. Increasingly car manufacturers provide little or no room to access the bulb, have seperated the driving lamp from the headlamp and are introducing new gas discharge technology. So what seemed like a straightforward purchase may not be! However by seeking the advice of a member of staff at J G Bestwick Ltd, it can be made much easier, provide better value and satisfy your need much more effectively. We may even be able to fit it for you as well!

We are able to fit bulbs, batteries, roof boxes and bars, number plates, wheel trims and many other items at a fraction of the cost of your local garage. Indeed some items are fitted free - such as wiper blades and car remote control (“plip”) batteries.

At “JGB” our enthusiasm and experience create unrivalled product knowledge and customer service skills. Try us out; we know you’ll be impressed!

Much more choice than you think.

A common perception by many motorists is that a large out of town store will carry a wider range and greater choice than that of a local independent A1 Motor Store, such as J G Bestwick Ltd.

It most certainly is not the case!

We are specialists in the field of motor accessories and motorists. We appreciate that the large stack of own brand car shampoo thrust under your nose at every opportunity in a superstore is not every motorists choice! We keep a competitively priced car shampoo but also stock the brand leaders. With a few obscure options as well. It may be that you prefer wax free shampoo or have heard about Meguiars “soft wash gel”. Whatever your choice JGB can help.

We would rather supply you with what you want and if it isn’t in stock we will be happy to try and get it for you. We do have a special order service and non stocked items can normally be obtained quickly - usually within 24 hours.

Fantastic value without compromising quality.

By now we should have convinced you that if you would like to be served by well trained enthusiastic and knowledgeable people, in a store that offers considerably more than an average motor accessory store, then “JGB” is the place.

As a member of A1 Motor Stores, J G Bestwick Ltd can harness the power of a national buying group that negotiates prices often much better than the largest of national retailers in our field. This in turn provides unique benefits and the savings are passed on to our customers. We are so certain that we provide superb value for money that we operate a price promise in our store.

“If you can purchase the same product at a lower price within 20 miles of our store, we will match the price at the time of sale”

We are determined to offer all our customers a unique shopping experience with terrific choice, really great prices and absolutely fantastic service!

Come shopping at JGB and you can be certain that we will try our best to satisfy your needs. We’ll understand and know about the items you want and we’ll offer you choice, quality and guaranteed unbeatable value for money.
