Braithwaites Garage

Founded in 1968 by Gerald Braithwaite, Braithwaites Garage has grown from a humble workshop attached to a family home into a thriving, multi-generational business dedicated to providing exceptional customer service and high-quality vehicles. Our commitment to excellence has remained steadfast for over 50 years, making us a name you can trust in the Cumbria area.

A Family Tradition

From the very beginning, Gerald instilled the values of honesty, integrity, and customer care into the core of the business. These principles continue to guide us today as we operate as a family-run enterprise. Three generations of Braithwaites actively contribute to the business: Sam and Nigel manage the sales, while Mark oversees the workshop. Recently, Mark's son Joe joined the workshop team, and Nigel's daughter Sally brings her expertise to the administration.

Vehicles Handpicked with Care

At Braithwaites Garage, we pride ourselves on offering a carefully curated selection of vehicles. You won't find a typical car lot with rows of vehicles; instead, you'll find around 30 vehicles handpicked by a member of the Braithwaite family and meticulously prepared to the highest standard. When you visit us, you'll be greeted by a family member, not a pushy salesperson. This ensures a personal and transparent experience where your needs are paramount.

Comprehensive Workshop Facilities

Our on-site workshop boasts extensive facilities equipped with the latest diagnostic technology, enabling us to service and repair modern cars with precision. We maintain full main dealer standards, ensuring your vehicle receives expert care from our skilled technicians. Every car we sell comes with a comprehensive parts and labour warranty, providing you with peace of mind and assurance on your investment.

Campervan Hire

Beyond car sales, Braithwaites Garage also offers a selection of fully equipped VW Transporter campervans for hire. Perfect for exploring the stunning Lake District and beyond, these 4-berth campers come with everything you need for a comfortable and memorable adventure.
