"Run by a untrustworthy person"

By Luke Wharmly, 20 April 2019

Read More

The owner makes out that what he doesn't know about cars isn't worth knowing. Nothing more than a bluffer, who fits parts that you don't need through his total lack of knowledge. The only reason he gets good reviews is simply because most car owners know very little about the workings of a motor vehicle. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE

"I wish we had a garage like this near us."

My family and i were on holiday near Keswick and our “engine” light came on. Ken looked at it, diagnosed the fault and advised me what best to do regarding my journey home within 12 hours. He refused to take any money and i cannot thank him enough.

"Excellent"

Received excellent service from this garage when the back part of my exhaust came apart. Arrived on holiday on Saturday staying in Keswick, phoned this garage due to the great reviews. Ken said to bring it in on Monday which I did and the car was sorted on the day. Ken was extremely helpful and I would highly recommend this garage to everyone. Thanks Ken and also to your mechanics.

"Just fantastic customer service, thank you!"

Whilst on holiday our car fan appeared not to be working so we just popped into the garage and Ken the owner immediately stopped what he was doing and very kindly checked all the fuses and fan to ensure everything was ok. The owner is a true gentlemen and offered the kind of customer service we all remember from days gone by, also as an additional bonus he wouldn't charge us! Thank you very much!

"Like having your best friend repair your car."

By Duffeymoon, 15 November 2011

i have been a customer of Crosthwaite Garage for a great number of years, the proprietor (Ken Taylor) is completely unflappable, always willing to help customers, whether they are one offs just staying in town or regulars, they all receive the same care and attention to detail. He will carry out any mechanical repair no matter how difficult and involved, plus he and his staff have a very good understanding of modern vehicle electronics, Ken really has put his money where his mouth is with regard to keeping up to date with diagnostic testing equipment. Garages like this are becoming a rarity and this one for sure is well worth supporting.
