Checkpoint was formed in 1978 by Allan Gibson. It was a retail operation designed to cater for the motoring enthusiast, run by enthusiasts. Having competed in many forms of motorsport, hill climbs, sprints, autocross, autotests and rallies, Allan was able to put his experience to good use.

Having started trading from a small shop in Rosemount, Aberdeen, Checkpoint quickly outgrew its original location, and after several moves, finally settled at its present site on George Street, Aberdeen. A 10,000sq ft high street site is ideal for not only having a central location, but also giving a large retail showroom together with a modern fully fitted workshop, allowing Checkpoint to supply and install.

There are two distinct services offered in the workshop. Firstly electrical. We will install everything we sell - Hi-fi, alarms, satellite navigation, tracking systems, reversing sensors, multimedia, dvd, screens, ps2 etc. Secondly, mechanical. Again we will install everything we sell - spring & suspension kits, torsion bars, brakes. We can also build custom-made stainless steel exhaust systems for any car, with lifetime warranty. Wheels & tyres are fitted using equipment designed to fit alloy wheels without damaging rims. Balancing can be done using the latest Haweka balancing system giving the most accurate results.
