Updated
Everything was slow (1 week+) due to demand and their human errors, but having things eventually sorted is fine. For example, a photo of what the car looked like when I handed in vs. how it looked like when it was returned (missing parts, which they replaced later). However, they had told me the lights were working which they don't and I have asked if they would fix it or adjust the costs due to the error, yet I have received no reply for 4 months since they had taken my car, and I have provided plenty of time for a response.
Updated: I was finally contacted back after the review. The car lights were working upon giving them the vehicle, and they said it must have fused out when we received it as they did no work on the car (claiming it was not their fault). My dad, who also worked as a mechanic, said they may have broke it during assessment (taking apart the car and putting back together) since it doesn't make sense for the lights to no longer work upon return. It could have also been damaged by their transportation because, originally, there were missing parts upon return too (which they replaced later). We're disappointed that they are not compensating or replacing that, as the vehicle is not returned the same way we gave it to them.
The money (write off) issue is related to Darwin insurance and not the garage.
Another update: They made us buy the car back for £400 stating there's no issues and will pass MOT. We took it for MOT and it failed??? So they did Lie about the conditions of the car and taken the money. Now what do we do with it!? We would have never bought a broken car.
