Welcome to W.Grose

The name Grose is one of the oldest and most well respected names in the motor industry dating back to 1888 when the company was first established by Joseph Grose. In the early year’s a true milestone was achieved when Joseph Grose invented the first non-skid tyre created by riveting steel studs into a leather case to produce vastly improved grip on road surfaces.

The next development in the company saw a move into custom built bodies for various types of vehicle from two seater sports cars to large saloons and box vans. Whatever the customers needs were, a body was tailor made for that particular purpose. Before long the Grose name was known up and down the country as one of the leading names in the automotive industry.

In Northampton W.Grose represents the General Motors brands of Vauxhall and Chevrolet.

In mid 2009 Saab selected W. Grose as an approved servicing and repair agent located at our Kingsthorpe dealership.

W.Grose is a household name in Northampton and our 5 acre site at Kingsthorpe offers every automotive facility including a SPAR shop on our 24 Hour Forecourt and a huge selection of new and used vehicles on display.
