On my journey to the Lake District, I was having problems with the clutch. Concerned about driving back home, Mike agreed to look at it for me. Mike discovered that a major job was required to replace the clutch kit and slave cylinder, also a new starter motor lead was needed which Mike had made up as he couldn’t get the part in time. Mike pulled out all the stops to help me out in the short space of time that I was staying in the Lake District, very friendly, professional and would definitely recommend. Thank you Mike.

Good reliable service . I have been using Castle Street Garages services for a number of years , first under Roger's management , now under Mike's . Because of self isolation , Mike collected and returned my car after its annual service , MoT and some minor work . Thank you for your effort , Mike .

I have just had work done on my car here. They were happy to check my car over the next day and called me to explain what needed to be done and provided me with an estimate everything, to which i understood to be a full estimate including VAT, as not stated otherwise. Upon collection of the car i was shocked to find i was being charged an extra £80 on top of estimate because they had not included VAT with prior estimation. I recieved a very unenthusiastic apology and was told nothing could be done, it was just a breakdown in communication. Very unsympathetic to the situation and no attempt made

Big thank you to Roger and staff.
We were on holiday in the Lake District, having lunch in Kendal before driving home (130 miles).
In typical holiday fashion, my exhaust clip fell off, and the exhaust pipe started banging around.
I called Castle Street motors, and they had my car in and fixed within 2-3 hours, at a reasonable price. It got us home, and it’s been fine since 🤞
Thank you for your help,

We were touring in our Campervan and had clutch failure outside Kendal. Ringing around for help brought up various results. Roger assured me he would be able to begin our job as soon as he could get parts. He and Mike are a Great Team. Despite the parts Companies sending wrong parts three times, we were on the road again very quickly and at a reasonable price. Both Mike and Roger were helpful ,knowledgeable and very able. I have Great Confidence in them. Thank You M and R for your Great Effort. Maurice
