Had an accident with my car and DLG Auto Services was the repairer through my insurance and I can’t fault them. Kept me up to date with everything, got a link sent to me where you could login and see the progress of your car there was also a comment section at the bottom where any calls were noted and you could also write a message for them too. They were very efficient and got my car sorted for me.

Lackluster assessment and so poorly ordered part ended up with 4 month wait for a simple repair, repeated calls met with lackluster excuses.

It is so refreshing to deal with real professionals who do what they promise.
Not only was the standard of repair and paint application superb but the lengths the staff and the transport team went to was outstanding.
What I thought might be a daunting experience turned out to be a pleasure.
I would thoroughly recommend

Brilliant Service

A brilliant service from start to finish. My car was picked up and a courtesy car delivered (this was immaculately clean). I was kept informed of how the repairs to my car were progressing. All the staff I had contact with were very friendly, polite and professional. I am hard of hearing and the young lady on the phone was very patient. My car was returned, repaired to an excellent standard &valeted inside & out. Could not have wished for anything better.
