Gregory & Robinson has enhanced its in-house maintenance capabilities with a complete workshop solution from Totalkare.

The family-run coach operator has invested in a TK70 in-ground brake tester, headlamp tester, 16-metre vehicle inspection pit and 10,000kg pit jack, creating a workshop equipped for efficient vehicle testing, inspection and maintenance.
