Following an initial consultation with Marion one of the directors at Hibbert she left me feeling confident that my van would be in safe hands and an appointment was promptly made. They organised the MOT and carried out the service. The workshop was professionally run and clean in all areas. The staff were really friendly and attentive. Harry the mechanic who worked on my van was very knowledgeable and talked through all aspects of the work undertaken. The cost of the service and MOT was very reasonable and I will have no hesitation in using them to maintain my vehicle in the coming years.

Tesco petrol station is one of the cheapest places to buy petrol in Barrow - currently 92.9p…read more Beware though, that it's not always the cheapest - Morrisons and Asda usually beat Tesco to it with any price drops, a few days or so before Tesco manage it. However, the Tesco store is also doing a promotion at the moment giving you 5p off every litre of petrol when you spend £50 on your shopping in-store, making it cheaper than anywhere else even if it's a couple of pence more to start with - so it's definitely worth filling up there if you shop at Tesco anyway. It doesn't have that many pumps so can get fairly crowded at busy times, but staff are very efficient and get the queue moving quickly. It's always busy and the Tesco roundabout leading into it is notoriously hard to negotiate, so maybe better to go in the quieter evening if you're not the best driver (i.e. me!). This station is open 24-hours - manned in the daytime, and with a pay-by-card unmanned facility at night. Good central location near town too, so very convenient.

Always friendly staff, the kiosk sells some basic items such as bread, sweets, crisps, drinks. They also have necessary items for the car, such as de-icer, oil, screen wash. Payment at the pumps makes it quicker to get your petrol, although the layout of the forecourt prevents anyone moving if the person in front is paying at the kiosk. The air and water hoses are also badly positioned, but are well used.
