Wicked team
Wicked team, professional and time efficient. Turnaround was much faster than I expected and they went above and beyond on my repair, I came back to a brand new looking Mercedes like it came out the show room, they also cleaned inside the vehicle which was a great touch. I cannot thank them enough. You won't regret leaving your vehicle in their hands! Great job.

Fix Auto fulfilled my requirements
Fix Auto fulfilled my requirements, I was disappointed that I recieved a call at 3 minutes to 5 on a Friday to say my car was ready but they were closing at 5 I had the option of having my car collected on the Tuesday due to a shortage of drivers, I opted to pick up my car on the Monday.

Polite and efficient service
Polite and efficient service. Identified couple of scratches on completion of work. One polished off and other happy to attend at my convenience. On this basis would be happy to recommend. Was listed by insurance so must do a good job.

Crap communication at request for work to be completed. Drained the battery to shut down my Mercedes and clocked up 75 miles when only across town, keeping the vehicle for over a week and a weekend for some minor car park scuff ascetics. Would not provide a receipt for work completed to an alloy wheel even though promised before the insurance excess payment was paid.

Good morning Mr Pritchard,
Thank you for your feedback. We re sorry to hear that you feel disappointed with your experience.
However, we would like to clarify a few points in your review. Our records show that your vehicle covered approximately 15miles whilst in our care, not 75miles as stated. We had your vehicle for 5 working days (7 overall) with one part on back order for 5days of the repair, during this time you had an update, however we will look at reviewing this to see if we can improve communications with policy holders moving forward.
In addition, the wheel in question was replaced with a new alloy wheel, not refurbished, so we are disappointed this has been misrepresented.
We always aim to provide a professional service and clear communication throughout the repair process.
Should you wish to discuss this further, please contact us directly and we will be happy to review this with you.
Kind Regards
Fix Auto Colchester

Collected vehicle from and delivered back to my driveway. Courtesy car offered. Vehicle repair was immaculate, attention to detail second to none. I have another small piece of damage I want dealt with and will be returning to Fix Auto for that to be completed. Would (and indeed have) recommend in a heart beat.

Stress free experience!
Recommended via my insurance company - they were quick to make contact and arrange collection of my car, (even before they’d collected, had been able to order parts they knew they’d need).
Good communication throughout which reduced my stress and car looked brand new when I collected it!
