No customer service from Assessor

My car was collected on a Thursday, I was told I would get a call on the Friday from the Assessor, which I did not. I tried calling on the Saturday but they dont work at weekend so I rang again on the Monday, the receptionist was sympathetic and although she could not get hold of him at that moment she said she would leave a message to call me. I still did not receive a call and called AGAIN on Tuesday and the Receptionist left another message. I eventually got a call back from a parts technician who told me they were waiting for parts and there was a delay due to an IT issue at Suzuki. Later that day I finally got a call from the Assessor who told me the same as the parts guy and said he would keep me posted on progress. I got a text the same day saying the work would be completed on the following Monday. i heard nothing more and eventually called AGAIN on the Monday and spoke to someone in the Parts Department and was told they had found another part that was needed and had to order this from Suzuki, I was AGAIN promised I would be kept updated. On the Wednesday I got a call for the receptionist and arranged for the care to be returned on the Thursday. The collection and delivery drivers were very friendly and helpful as were the Reception staff but the level of actual service fell well below my expectations and the promises I was made. My car was away for two week, which is in excess of the 7-10 days I was advised and as I am disabled I rely very much on my car. The repairs seem to be OK although I have an issue with an alarm that keeps going off but I will ask my mechanic about this when I take the car for Service and MOT in a few days time as I cannot be without my car while DLG sort this out.

They are unable to communicate!!

The actual repair work is absolutely fine - but the stress of getting correct and accurate information was a complete disaster. From first being advised how long the repair would take to then being told to use the 'online portal' (it is pretty useless) to text messages that don't actually give complete information. Unless and until this company can learn to communicate effectively - probably best by telephone - I can't recommend them.

Professional and helpful service all…

Professional and helpful service all the way. Fitted in with my time schedule and sensibly pre-ordered parts to minimise time in garage. Steve in particularly was very knowledgable and helpful throughout the process. My car was returned as new all freshly washed and vacuumed. Could not have been a better experience.

Suzuki S Cross repair by DLG Newbury

DLG repaired my Suzuki S Cross after the passenger front was hit by another car. The company emailed and phoned with updates about progress. The quality of repairs to front wing bumper area and trims is absolutely first class with a totally accurate paint match to the rest of the car.
DLG even re worked the alloy wheel which looks "as new"
Great job Thank you
