Rap Moto Garage

On a recent visit to Ambleside, on the way there my rear brakes started grinding. Knowing a bit about cars, I knew the rear disc and pads would need replacing. Called a few garages only to be turned away. Called Rap and spoke to Simon who was so helpful. Told me to bring the car down and he'd sort it. I explained that I didn't need it back until the next day and left it with him. A couple of hours later he called to say it needed a bit more work but I could collect it an hour or so later. All repaired and at a reasonable price to. I can't recommend them highly enough. When needed they were there and did a great job. Definitely recommend this garage.

I was parked in the Rydal road car park and noticed a flat tyre. Walked up to this garage hoping they could assist sometime in the next day or two. They were very helpful, professional and courteous. They came down to the car park immediately and within 15 minutes had fixed the two causes (nails!) of the puncture. Very impressive service- thank you again. Highly recommend this garage.

Excellent service!! My front side window dropped on my way to the Lakes. I called Rap Moto and they notified the mechanics ahead of my arrival. Once i arrived within 10 minutes Simon had made it good and said it was free of charge!! Thanks very much guys ..amazing service 😀 👍

Came for a long weekend in the Lakes. Day 1 the breaks failed on the car. Called Rap, explained the situation and within 36 hours the parts were ordered, delivered and fitted, not mention being a bank holiday weekend! Very reasonably priced and great communication! Very happy indeed, now three days left to explore the Lake District in the car!!

Cracked a brake pipe on a recent holiday to the Lakes. The team at Rap were fantastic - friendly, helpful and all sorted same day. I would absolutely recommend them and given the size of some of the potholes in the area, I may need to visit them again next time!

Colin and the team at Rap Moto are absolute legends! I was on an Easter visit to the Lakes when on Good Friday, I hit a pot hole which burst my front off side tyre. It was almost 5pm and I tried calling Rap 5 times with no answer, I didn't leave them a message and I had almost given up. A few minutes later I received a call from Colin, I explained the situation and he couldn't have been more helpful. He said he'd order the tyre on Saturday and would fit it first thing on Sunday! True to his word, all of these things happened and meant I was able to tackle the long drive home to Poole on Monday hassle free. Could not recommend them enough - fabulous friendly service, please give them your business!!

My brakes were failing and I urgently needed brake pads so I could head home the next day. After calling many garages, I came across Rap Moto garage who took my car in at 4pm and changed the pads by 2pm the next day. The team were absolutely brilliant and made sure I was back on the road ASAP - I cannot recommend them enough.

I contacted them after a breakdown on the A66 on Friday 29th December. I was told that they would do there best for me but could give no guarantees. These guy went well above and beyond the call of duty to help me, even coming in on the Saturday to ensure I got back on the road ASAP. I cannot thank them enough. Great work, great price, great service, wonderful result. I really can’t thank them enough. You are in safe hands here.

My engine light came on as I was driving up to Ambleside, called 20+ garages and eventually got through to Rap. I can’t stress enough how fantastic the service was - the mechanic came in first thing on Saturday morning to diagnose the issue and talk me through what was going on. Friendly, straightforward, and incredibly reassuring. Thank you so much, you are a star!!

Just back from a short , snowy break in Grasmere. Car broke down on arrival and needed a new alternator. Colin was amazing. Came and took the car away, fixed and returned before the end of our stay. Incredible service at a very reasonable price. He went above and beyond in atrocious weather to make sure we could get away on time. Thanks so much!

Went in to Rap motors with an issue with my tyre. Both young Colin and the old boy Simon provided an excellent service and customer experience. Colin repaired the valve and Simon blew the tyre to the correct psi. The overall cost for the repair was ZERO pounds or pence. You wouldn't get that service/price at a national garage, I'd probably have been the price of a new tyre down and getting my vehicle back 4 hours later.

Really helpful, we had a problem whilst on holiday, he opened up for us over a bank holiday weekend to check diagnostics so we could safely continue our holiday. Would highly recommend for a genuine local business. Thank you

Fantastic Local Garage, been taking my car in for over a year and Collin and the team are great. Very knowledgeable and lovely to chat to. I always put it in with them for an MOT and service, and even they can't do MOTs they run it down to Kendal to put it through!! Reliable Local Garage

An excellent garage. A really helpful team Colin and Simon absolutely sorted a problem with my Jaguar F Pace fast and efficiently and at a great price too. I cannot recommend this garage enough, these days it can be hard to trust garages but these were a genuine outfit. Thank you

Fantastic service from Colin and Rap Moto after my car broke down completely on a weekend away in the lakes. Recovered my car to his garage Saturday morning and had it up and running by Monday, running better than it ever has. Thanks again!

Two great experiences this year ……

29th Dec 2023 :-
Another outstanding customer service experience. Binding calipers replaced within 5hrs of first reporting it despite the garage being very busy on last working day before breaking up for the New Year. Thanks very much

Spring 2023-
Unbelievable service. Phoned up with an urgent MOT repair job that the MOT garage couldn’t do until two weeks later!

The next morning Colin managed to pull this job in amongst his busy schedule.

A super quick job at a very fair price.

Can’t recommend highly enough.

As a result of driving through deep water I ended up with water in the fuel drain filter. I was able get a check up right away and thanks to Colin the van was fixed in no time. Excellent job, I highly recommend this place!

Great service. Sorted a punctured tyre (without replacing it, saving us money) at v short notice. Would recommend.

Very nice people! My cars protector was hanging down and he kindly came and pushed it back up before my long drive back to London!

Thank you very much :)

Amazing! Could not have asked for better service! Drove down for a minibreak to Windemere and the car developed an issue with the brake system that made it unsafe to drive. We phoned Colin and he could not have been more helpful. He immediately put us at ease by fitting us into his day. He went above and beyond when sourcing the part needed in time for us to check out of our holiday accommodation. Genuinely taken aback by the effort.

I am so glad that I found Rap Moto as they absolutely saved the day and delivered great work at a fair price!

Colin and his team absolutely deserve the praise that myself and everyone is giving them.
