David May founded the garage in 1979 with his wife Shelagh May. Originally in Park Street, Ivybridge, and from day one the garage was carrying out body and mechanical repairs on vehicles. From the very beginning, the company's principle was to offer an affordable service with customer care as the key focus. This is still the central principle of the garage to this day. 

During 1992 we found that we needed to move to our current location. A purpose built site on Ermington Road, Ivybridge. This site has allowed us to move all of operations to under one roof. This includes our display area, with up to 20 selected used cars available for sale.

David May Motor Services is proud to now be a body repairers recommended by numerous insurers. We are also a Dupont five star dealership.

To ensure that we maintain the quality of all the services offered by David May Motor Services, we have been accredited with the British Quality Standard ISO 9002, an internationally recognised standard of good business practices. Our services have expanded and now include free courtesy cars and fully authorised MOTs. 

Our workforce is managed by Andy Crago, our workshop manager, who has over 25 years experience in this business and Michael Lavers, who has been part of the company for more than 15 years. 

Our new and used car sales as well as our van and minibus hire department are the responsibility of John Caridia, our sales manager who has accumulated a mass of knowledge over his 26 years experience in the motor trade.
