Called in with my father in-laws Toyota that had a knocking noise. They found 2 broken springs! Managed to do it the same day. Couldn’t be happier with the price or the service. Very friendly & professional. Will definitely use them again 👍

I was personally disappointed with their overall tactics . Brought my car for a few problems . The main one an oil league and misfire . Polo 02So the break down was no quote .Left the car to them a few days I rang in a few times to see what was needed . No progressNext thing I knew I needed a new battery it was going flat . Did not buy into that really it was be low charge but new already but would start up and no massive issue apart from winter . Cold weather .Then the 02 sensor was screwed granted it was orange light and possible it was faulty .Price break downDiagnostic£ 60Lambda sensor +Battery 140Vat . 40 . TheyChoose not to do oil leak due to hose pipe ban .🤔Telling me where's the labor charge ? Don't know .Sounds cheap. But would not have gone ahead if I new they were not going to do oil problem .Easy money I say battery change 0 2 sensor . Less then 1 hour s work .Just be careful with garages get your quotes first .I personally do not trust many garages .

Called to book MOT expecting an appointment in the next week or so. Instead I was able to take my car in 3 days later. Dropped it off at 11am, expecting it to be ready that evening. Instead I picked it up a couple of hours later. Could have collected it sooner but was out with the dog.Nothing extra to pay. Passed no problems. Service great as always. Highly recommended. Will use again.

Absolutely great garage, just moved to Wakefield and didn't know where to go. Went here because of the reviews and definitely happy. They're very welcoming, kept me informed and explained everything. The price was very reasonable and they also gave me back my car looking shinier and cleaner than its ever been!

Have always been to this garage ever since I passed my test the staff are very helpful and polite and dont try to overcharge you like other places in the local area. Have recommended this garage to everyone I know and will continue to do so as the service here is faultless

One of the best priced garages around Wakefield .... There staff are polite and well-mannered and always willing to go the extra mile to help you out.....been a female driver I often worry if garages are taking advantage of the fact I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to my car BUT I did not feel this way at cross lane garage explain everything and made it easy to understand which left me feeling at easeand full of confidence to go there again thank you for your help your staff are brilliant

Great service by the guys over at Cross Lane Garage! Booked my van in for MOT, they came and collected it from my house, completed the test and then returned the vehicle, all within a couple of hours.Not only was the service very impressive, but the price charged was super reasonable too!Will definitely be using their services in future

Great service. My old Corsa developed an oil leak, they fixed it quickly and in my opinion price was very reasonable. They have another satisfied customer and I'll happily return for any future work.

Dale and the team saved us after a breakdown, can’t thank them enough! My engine stopped and my car wouldn’t start, leaving me and my 2 toddlers to roast in a a stationery call. One call into Cross lane and they sent one of their guys out, realised it was the battery and jumped the it back into life. They then escorted us back to the garage for a free battery health check. As it turns out it was totally my mistake, leaving my ignition running while parked too long. The guys were so honest about the battery charge, telling us it was still safe but made need checking again in 6-12 months. Better still, they were totally understanding of my silly mistake. They didn’t even charge me!! A true team of car-genius professionals who really go above and beyond. Put me and my kids at ease and had us back in the road in next to no time!Thanks Cross Lane Garage, I cant thank you enough!

Popped in with my motorhome before our big trip. Absolutely blown away, they checked it over for free there and then and really put my mind at rest. Topped up my tyre pressure and were super quick and helpful. I've booked it to go back for its MOT once we've done the big trip (plus it will then need some new tyres!). Thanks Dale and the team :)

Absolutely Brilliant lads. On route to work at South Elmsall from Huddersfield and my car was making a funny noise. Googled this place and drove there. Lads had a look at my car and told me if was safe to carry on my journey. They put me at ease as was very wary about carrying on.Shame I live in Huddersfield as I would definitely use this garage.

Amazing! Brought my Qashqai here for its first service (as they do manufacturer service so was valid with my new car warranty). Far cheaper than Nissan and fab service. I just popped across to McD’s with my laptop and the car was ready within 2 hours. Also the clean was amazing - don’t think my wheels have sparkled like that since I bought it! Faultless service and genuinely lovely blokes.Totally recommend Cross Lane!
