After a few hiccups on my part which was no fault of DLG, I finally got my car collected to be repaired and was given a really nice automatic Skoda SUV whilst it was away. Repair took less than a week... See more

Was worried they might not be able to repair my Kuga with pearlescent paint and paint protection as they’re not a Ford garage. Needn’t have worried. Quick to pick up on a trailer and only a few days t... See more

Once the work had been passed on to DLG…

Once the work had been passed on to DLG it was brilliant to be able to talk to a real person rather than an AI 'bot'. The people at DLG Wombwell were always willing to listen and polite.....makes such a difference

Unpleasant experience

My experience with these guys from the Barnsley branch was not a pleasant one. After I told them and informed in an official way of the issues of my car, they collected my car on Friday and next Monday I got a phone call from a chap called B*****y telling me that my car would be ready soon as only the bumper was to be changed. I tried to explain to him again that that is not so, my car was damaged beyond just the bumper and I have sent them the evidence and extra comments. The chap was clueless, he never even reviewed the evidence judging by the conversation we had back and for. He ended up treating me as a liar and invited me to see the car and talk to them on their site.Conveniently, B*****y was not there to speak to him face to face when I went. At my expense of time and money I went there and showed one of their engineers there was more damage than they were telling me there is. This other chap was a gentleman. They fixed the car according to the extent of the damage apart from one bit. One of my rear shock absorbers started squicking badly after the accident and they did not fix that despite telling them this was not there before just all the other issues they though were not and proved to be that were from the accident. Anyway. I eventutally called them back for the 10th 12th time to tell them the car is still not fixed properly and said they will book me in for another look with one of their garages to determine if this was caused by the accident or not. This never happened and I still live with the annoyed squicky suspension to this. They were unprofessional, time wasters and did not do the job fully. All this at my expense people... I've not gone into any details, that is where the thrill is. But I dont want to waste more time with this company. They don't deserve their good ratings judging by my experience with them.

Stress free repair

Clear communication throughout the repair. Work took a bit longer than expected but was advised that was due to delay in parts being delivered.
Car collected and delivered at times stated. Came back cleaner than it went in!
