The garage made a courtesy car available to me (although it wasn't offered straight away), when damaged car became unroadworthy.
I had to wait weeks for a particular part to be available, but they kept me informed and updated me regularly. When my car was returned to me it had been valeted and looked like new.

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.
