About Cundy Cross Service Station
Cundy Cross Service Station was initially opened in December 2006 at the site of Priory Service Station just off Cundy Cross roundabout.
We opened Alongside Cundy Cross Cars who are still on the original site and still providing a quality selection of used cars.
As the service station grew it was required for us to move into larger premises offering better facilities for both staff and customers.
Our new premises at Grange Lane Industrial Estate were fully refurbished including a modern waiting and reception area, 2 Mechanical working Bays & 2 Auto Electrical bays, A large compound able to store up to 20 cars and a small parking area to the front of the unit for convenient parking for customers.
Greeting you at your reception is Roberta (Bertie), Our latest addition to the team. Currently training in Business Studies at Barnsley College she ensures the smooth day to day running of the admin side of the business, all customers are greeted with a smile and courteously dealt.
Your vehicle will then be handed to one of three technicians working at our premises.
