Report
I had a problem with bonnet not opening due to rusted catch. Despite being fully booked for several weeks, the owner suggested I came in early and he would see what he could do to free it because he realised I couldn't add screenwash. Got it sorted and didn't charge because it was a quick job. Excellent customer service and clear know-how. Regularly use this garage for all household vehicles (2 cars and campervan). Highly recommended !

Lovely helpful place fixed up my puncture with ease there and then. Had a awful experience at another garage glad I dropped into station garage on the off chance they could help so I could get home down south. I will be recommending this place to all my local friends in Cumbria

Brilliant and trustworthy. We take our modern Golf and our 1980's VW camper here and always come away happy. The knowledge of the older VW's is hard to find and they have always sorted any issue in the most economical way.
