Excellent company! Uddingston Branch!

Collected my car today after it was rear ended in a non fault accident. I can’t recommend the company enough. They were extremely pleasant and kept in constant communication to keep me informed of the repair progress. My collection date changed a few times but this was informed via a phone call. And I’m over the moon with the outcome! Extremely professional branch and staff! Thank you again.

Our car had bumper damage due to accident so was the recommended garage by insurance company and only 30 min drive from home and easy to find. What a refreshing change to have such a nice friendly welcome and quick service from the receptionist to the bodywork team they kept us well in formed on the progress the next day with what had been done and completed ready for pick up. The work that’s been done to it as been due to very high standard and was really pleased with the finish so very well done and thank you to the bodywork team. Thank you to receptionists for being so helpful and friendly

Tsar Repair

I'm 52. what this company is doing is the worst job I've ever seen in my life. old glued and welded parts put in the car. What is not consistent with car repairs. do not give them cars for repair. I do not know how you took money for my repair through an insurance company. I appealed to the insurance company and they returned my money. I do not know if they have the right to collect money? please check it. because it is not normal for me

Car went to garage for minor accident…

Car went to garage for minor accident repairs, when returned had a warning light on dashboard.

Car taken to local garage who tried to remove the fault, but could not so took it to dealers. New part need and total repair £1790.

Gemini deny responsibility even though they accepted the light was on when returned.

Cowboy outfit stear clear.

Insurance said the light came on, on the 9th July, when my car was in the mazda garage who were looking at this issue. Mazda even said the issue was caused the improper removal of the battery. Insurance cancelled already.

Hi Martin,

I'm sorry to hear that you're dissatisfied with Gemini. After reviewing your concerns, it appears that your insurance company conducted a thorough investigation with the engineers and confirmed that the issues are not related to any repair work we completed at Gemini, nor was caused whilst you're vehicle was in Gemini's care.

Many Thanks,

STAY AWAY....If your Insurance Company send you there simply REFUSE. Limited ability, they damage your car and then deny knowledge. If you also use LV then stay away from them too as they are poor.

GEMINI ARC IN NOTTINGHAM

GEMINI ARC IN NOTTINGHAM.
Had my car reversed into damaging the back bumper on the Friday afternoon. Car was booked in to be repaired and had a phone call on the Monday from Gemini to say my car would be picked up the following morning. Dave who picked my car up was very friendly, checked the car over and then went through all the gadgets on the curtesy car as this was totally different to my own vehicle.
When I phoned to pay the access John was very friendly and helpful.
I was kept up to date with the repairs and was given a call to say the car would be returned on the Thursday. This was followed with a call on the Thursday to check that I would be home. The car was delivered back to my home address within the hour. Gary was lovely and took care of my car whilst getting it off the transporter and made nice comments about my car.
All the team from start to finish in the repairs of my pride and joy were outstanding and I would like to thank everyone of you.
Back to happy driving!

Shocking company

Shocking company. Zero quality control. They damage your car and then deny responsibility. Immoral. Do not use. If your Insurers send you to them REFUSE. They say they have a fresh approach to accident repair. They have. It’s called blaming the customer.

Poor experience with Gemini Telford


Poor experience with Gemini Telford. Referred in there by Aviva with damage to bodywork.

First contacted Gemini on 18th June, advised that car would be ready 12th July. Car had no work done it week 1 and it sat in a car park, unlocked.

When work eventually started, Gemini damaged the glass to one of the windows which needed replacing, which extended to repair for another 10 days( an extra 10 days to replace a window!!!)

I explained I was going on holiday ( staycation driving holiday) which I needed my car back by 25th July, which now looks like it’s not going to happen, and I’m left with unsuitable car.

Why as the customer am i disadvantaged because of additional damage you did to my car.

Do not use this company, poor communication, poor service.

Hi Richard,

I'm sorry to hear that you're dissatisfied. After looking into your concerns, I can confirm that we needed to have the glass replaced by a specialist. Unfortunately, during the repair, the glass was accidentally broken by the specialist due to the glass not being reinforced. We ordered a replacement immediately, but it has been delayed due to being on back order with the supplier, which is unfortunately beyond our control.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused, but unfortunately, it is out of our hands when parts are on back order. We hope that has no reflection on the quality of repairs carried out by the Gemini team at Telford, as they always strive to deliver the highest standard of service.

Many Thanks,
Kristina @ Gemini ARC

Absolutely awful experience with Gemini…

Absolutely awful experience with Gemini Telford. Referred in there by LV with a dent on the back bumper and cracked lamp cover. Ended up with damage to the front lights. Car has been in the garage for 7 weeks with 2 independent visits from Hoopers engineers who only read the faults from ICU and not physically checking what caused the faults after the repairs. I have the car for over a year and had absolutely no issues flying through MOT with not even 1 advisory. Both reports said the from damage couldn’t happened by the repairs done on the back. The car was perfectly fine when I took the car in for repairs. I had no choice but to take the car to another garage and was told that an electric wire to front light was cut off and 2 fuses were misplaced and blown. Garage denied wrong doing and I was left with more problems than originally. They haven’t replied to my last email so please don’t bother to give the pity reply. They will be reported to trading standards.
Looking on the previous reviews I am not the only one affected but this scammers.

Hi Anita,

I'm sorry to hear about your unsatisfactory experience. However, as you mentioned, an independent engineer inspected your vehicle on two separate occasions and confirmed that the damage was due to pre-existing electrical issues, not related to the accident. Gemini Telford did not handle the fusebox or any electrical leads at the front of your vehicle. Like us, Hoopers conducted a thorough investigation with the same outcome. Therefore, Gemini Telford has not been requested or authorised to do any rectification work, as the issues are unrelated to any repair work we carried out, nor damage caused by the accident.

Many thanks,

Fantastic service and high quality work

The service at Gemini Luton has been fantastic. Unfortunately my car was reversed into and the drivers insurance company sent my car to Gemini Luton to be repaired. I cannot fault the service they provided. From start to finish I was kept informed of all repairs and other details relating to my car. The staff are super friendly and were able to answer any questions I had. The work has been completed to an outstanding standard and with an extremely timely manner. I want to thank both the mechanics and customer service staff for all their help in restoring my car to perfection!

Delays and damage

Car sat there for 4 days before work began. Was not kept up to date and when I called the finish date was just pushed back further and further without explanation. Given mixed reports on progress, told car was progressing only to be told it hadn’t moved a few days later. Many delays seemed avoidable. Ordered external parts 10 days in and then had to wait 4 days for parts to arrive. Car was meant to go in for 3-5 days. Ended up over 2 weeks. Car delivered back with big new scratch across window and key fob has lost metal trim. Worst garage experience ever

no customer service available for appraisal. Contrary to any repairs deemed my car un repairable 6 months later I am still waiting for there mechanics to provide service communications to my insurance company for a non fault. Maybe next time I'll choose a better insurance company but to wait 6 months for you to make any progress is beyond ridiculous . For further reference I wouldn't allow Gemini accident repair to service my vehicles due to low standards and un - reliabilty .

Good Morning,

I'm sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction. Unfortunately, once your vehicle is deemed a write-off, it becomes the responsibility of your insurance company to refer your vehicle to a salvage agent or return it to you. This process is beyond Gemini's control.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Other than keeping your vehicle on-site until your insurance company arranges for salvage, Gemini does not handle written-off vehicles.

If you would like to discuss this further, please send your name and registration to feedback@geminiarc.co.uk, and we will look into it for you.

Thank you,

Very efficient and good repairer garage

They have done an amazing job on my car. I can't see any more the original scratches I had.

The people in reception were very kind and helpful. They gave me a courtesy car while they were repairing my car.

The repair of my car took them only a day, plus they have washed it and left it sparkling !

Very happy with the service provided and would recommend for sure.

Hit and run at the supermarket

Had my car body work repaired at the Denton branch through LV Insurance.

The resulting repair is outstanding, I dont know how they do it, the car was also polished to a mirror finish and valeted.

Eveyone who I dealt with the very professional, although couple of promised phone calls didn't happen.

The car was collected and delivered to my home address.

I took longer to repair than originally estimated, which was a pain, as I didnt have Courtesy Car on my insurance, and was relying on lifts.

I would also have liked a copy of the work schedule and final invoice for my records, but was informed this doesnt happen any more, and to ask the insurers.

Overall,however, I am very very pleased the workmanship, courtesy and service and would reccommend Gemini Denton.

Awful service from Gemini Telford

Awful service from Gemini Telford. Forced to use this company by LV but reputation locally is poor. Repair was actually ok but they have damaged the electrical system and windows are stuck down. Made sure they got their payment in tha car park . When I returned to car I discovered the fault as they drove away in courtesy car. Manager is self certified expert on mx5 and the roof is the problem because 'they don't work after winter' Told me to take it to a dealership. No dates available until June. Can't protect car from rain in the interim. Car was in perfect working order before Gemini took it away.

Hi Caroline,

Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience you've experienced regarding your recent repairs.

After reviewing your claim and liaising with the branch, it appears the accident damage was to the front of your vehicle, and is not related to the damage you've described. However, they've suggested that if you take your vehicle to the Mazda dealer and they determine otherwise, the branch will forward this information to your insurance company.

If you have any further concerns or if there's anything else we can assist you with, please don't hesitate to reach out via feedback@geminiarc.co.uk. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we are committed to ensuring a positive resolution.

Friendly and professional experience.

The customer service I received after my vehicle was damaged has been first class. From the outset I have been kept well informed by very friendly staff from the start of my claim until it was delivered to my door.
Very happy with the quality of the repair and nice to see my vehicle back as it was prior to the accident.
Thank you very much Gemini for a stress free experience.

A chance meeting with Dave who introduced me to his boss, Ian. They agreed to carry out a re spray on a door lock cover and fitted it to my car the same day. I can’t thank them enough and I would certainly recommend them. Thanks to Gemini for their help.

Bodywork & paintwork perfect, shame about mess.

Bodywork & paintwork perfect. Only spoilt by not vacuuming the deer hair from under bonnet. most people would prefer signs of accident removed. Also unnecessary tyre paint didn’t dry. Checked tyre pressures & wondered where all black was coming from. Lots of scrubbing hands & tyres corrected mess. This was 3 days after collection. Original tyre paint still perfect, so didn't need touching anyway.

I have never

I have never, in my 79 years, experienced such customer service. I was kept abreast almost daily of the situation and the times given for collection of my car and delivery of a courtesy one and the return of both was right on time. The work done was so good that the repair looks like a new car. I would give more than a 5 stars for them. Thank you to the team.
