The Stadium Car Centre was the place to go if you lived near Chadwell Heath and wanted basic car care such as new tyres or a simple MOT test. Unfortunately, however, it closed down last year (probably due to poor competition against the Halfords store right behind it, which isn't surprising due to the ongoing recession). The remains of the centre are still standing as of August 2009 (albeit in a derelict state). The red object above the roof of the car centre is the top edge of Staples' branding.
