A POPULAR garage in Chard is permanently closed with the building now up for sale following a national cull of the chain in 2025.
In February 2025, Michelin-owned ATS Euromaster stated that 86 of its services would be permanently closing - more than a third of its overall network.
Those on the list included centres in Taunton, Frome, Wincanton and Chard, with the reasoning for this including inflation, slow growth and overcapacity.

The Chard ATS Euromaster branch is now displaying "for sale" signs with property company Hartnell Taylor Cook in charge of selling the property.
In a sign posted outside the building, a spokesperson for ATS Euromaster said: "Sorry, this centre has now closed."
Before closing, in January 2025 the business received consistent five-star reviews with customers describing the team as "top notch".
Consequently, many have felt disappointed by the closure, with the future use of the building still unclear.
