Brilliant service from start to finish

Brilliant service from start to finish. DLG repaired my car after an accident. Their communications were absolutely first rate. My car was collected from, and delivered back to, my home address and everyone I saw (or spoke to on the phone) were fantastic. Really good communications all the way through. I was delighted with the service provided and was so grateful for the speedy repair to my car. It even came back washed and valeted. What superstars!

First Class Service

I was directed to DLGAutoServ by my insurance company. I filled out the relevant online form on Saturday 14 February, my car was collected on Monday 16th and was returned to me repaired on 19th. Apart from a first class job of repairing the damage, the car had been cleaned outside and valeted on the inside. All the people I spoke to at DLG were polite and helpful. I really hope I don't need to use their services again, but I'd have no hesitation in doing so.

Devaluation of my car.

Had my car repaired in August. Wasn't happy with finish and number plate was hanging off ( photos available) tyre sensor light on console and dashboard that they were informed about(twice) was not sorted and was told to inflate the tyre??????, yeah right, that didn't work!!. It nearly failed it's MOT because of this.
Just tried to sell my car and because of the poor finish to my car was informed it has devalued my car approx £ 800.00p.
Will research who repairs my insurers cars in future.
Refused to sign handover papers because of the condition my car was returned.

Accident damage repairs

My car was sent here by Churchill Insurance for accident damage repairs.
Good service with regular updates from the staff in branch.
Had a few issues with my car after the initial repair, but all were dealt with promptly and supplied with a courtesy car for the whole duration while ongoing works took place.
I would be happy to use again if needed
