      12th January 2026

      Given that I wasn’t local and was a little late to drop my car off as I’d promised, the guys did a fantastic job at fitting me in. They were the friendliest and most efficient garage I’ve come across in a good while. Their communication was first class and the bill was very good value. I’ll definitely be taking my car back to them.

      12th January 2026

      Communicative, professional, helpful. I don’t want to be too wordy but after my awful and expenses with the branded dealer… it was wonderful to experience Athersmith’s helpful and explaining professionalism. They solved problems, kept me informed and the experience was great. The main dealer, euch - but Mega thumbs up 👍 for Athersmiths.

      Had few issues with car which weren't simple!
      I travelled from Carlisle to the garage as they specialised in chain belts and turbo boasts unlike most companies in Cumbria.

      Came up to visit my daughter as she was having issues with her car. This is the first time my daughter had used this garage as she is fairly new to the area and it's her first car (bad mistake in buying it but that's another story!).

      My first time at Athersmith.
      I live in Carnforth and took my car to Athersmith in Ulverston because they had great reviews, and are a high end car specialist.
      Better value than a BMW dealer garage.
      They were very thorough and very friendly.
      I will be using Athersmith for future work on my BMW.

    • Seb R

      16th June 2025

      Excellent service. Drove through a flood recently and since then my car’s been rattling. With a long distance trip coming up I had no choice but to take my car to the nearest garage.
      The team at Athersmith diagnosed the issue so quickly and told me that they will see what can be done - despite how busy they were, they made time to fix my car in under an hour.
      Everyone was... Read More

      I service my car here for a reason - they are consistently excellent, competent and highly professional. The service: right from the appointment making, is simply a nice experience. Frankly, I never thought I would say this about a car service. I bring the car here from Grange-over-Sands - it’s simply worth the drive.

      28th April 2025

      Even though they were clearly busy, Athersmith assessed the clutch problem with my car within 24h, & within a week was fixed, new clutch etc installed, together with other, planned, service works. Expensive job, but a brief review of alternative providers indicated to me that it wasn't well above normal rates. Professional, knowledgeable & courteous service all round. Will definitely use...

      Until today, I have always used the local Mercedes dealership to service my cars. Last week, surprisingly, Merc decided to close my local facility permanently - just when my CLS needed a service. I was lucky to find AMS Motor Services and they have just finished my car's 3 year major service. A superb job in every respect carried by friendly, helpful professionals. I'm delighted with the...

      I can't rate these guys high enough. I unexpectedly found my car damaged, they fit me into their already busy schedule and had my car sorted before the weekend despite the short notice and parts needed. Can't thank them enough

    • Joe Gough

      17th January 2025

      A very well run garage this one. Not quite sure how they did it but
      the car now drives like it's several years younger. Clearly 1st rate workmanship and good communication throughout. My thanks to Luke and the whole team. Highly recommended.

      We used this company for the first time after a friends recommendation and reading the reviews, and so glad we did. The service was excellent in every respect and although for us it is by no means local, as we live in Arnside, we are no longer dependant on the main Land Rover dealerships.

      Accommodating and pleasant staff. Brought a car in for servicing, done professionally. Took the car back in on a separate occasion because the seatbelt lock got jammed with a bit of plastic. Was treated with consideration and a staff member resolved the issue free of charge. Highly recommended.

    • John Leech

      2nd March 2023

      Our camper needed quite a bit of work doing on it, the sort of job where the quote makes you wince a bit though they clearly explained the total bill would depend on the condition of the existing parts once they could inspect them fully. Thankfully, the existing bit didn't need replacing. We're very pleased to have our van back on the road even if we can't afford to put fuel in it anymore ;-)... Read More
