My wife and I were visiting the Lake Distrct two weeks ago from Ireland. When staying in Ambleside, we noticed a fast puncture. We drove to the nearest garage; about 100 yards away in Ambleside to get it repaired. They refused on grounds they were a man short. They would only put air in the tyre and told us to drive the 3 miles to Windermere. Never had such an experience before. We had to drive slowly to Windermere Auto Centre as the air was going out of the tyre. Another mile and the tyre would have been ruined. Windermere Auto Centre fixed the puncture in 10 minutes. They were efficient, friendly and very helpful to us which we appreciated. very much. It is the place to go.
