If you value your car consider your choices.

Various unsatisfactory incidents with DLG Perth. Lack of customer care lack of quality control. My car was returned seemingly damaged in transit had to be taken away and repaired again.
DLG had my car for a total of 18 working days where I was told by a local body shop it would take them 3 days.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing to have but I so wished I had paid the extra fee to have my choice of having the work done at my local body shop.
All in all not a pleasant experience.

if I could give below a 1 star I would

the garage in Perth is run by a bunch of cowboys with zero accountability 

how can a garage even run like this 

my car went in for a scratch repair and the first time they returned it with more damage 

the second time it went back they returned it with the charger port broken and glue inside the charge port

we have fully 100% Eletric vehicle and now the vehicle now doesn't even charge, how does this pass compliance does this garage even have compliance ?

we have a mobility vehicle and i am now going to making a official compliant to mobility scheme to stop using this garage 

the way they have treated is beyond shocking, they should really not treat people like this its just so horrible 

DGL bandits and thieves of your reading this you are now going to face full force of the law on this 

its shocking the way you treat others peoples property when you have been entrusted for it

Our wheelchair-accessible vehicle was…

Our wheelchair-accessible vehicle was in this garage for repairs for almost three months, due to being damaged in an incident.
When it was eventually returned, none of the electric reels/switches were working at the back of the vehicle, and it had to be returned to the garage for repair. Subsequently, it was later found that the phone-connected navigation system was ‘absent’, even though it worked before the repair, but the garage is totally denying this could have been disconnected, during the electrical repairs.
Also, the wheelnut locking device was missing, when the car was returned, despite being left in the car, when it went into the garage, as I thought they might need to remove the rear wheels, due to the damage caused by the incident.
When I complained about this, a form was sent to me by email, which I hadn’t seen before, and the wheelnut tick-box was unmarked, but the tick-box for tools was ticked, and the wheelnut tool was the only tool left in the car.
Churchill insurance took up this complaint, but just repeated everything the garage said, without considering any other information, leading to a total lack of trust in both this company and the garage, now!!
(We had to pay to get all our wheel nuts removed and replaced.)

Pay the extra and put to a good body shop

My insurer (Churchill) advised me to book my car into DLG Perth after it was damaged, At first all went well car was collected and courtesy car left, i was called within 2-3 days with details of the repair that was needed Replace/paint boot lid, repair/paint back bumper, replace rear fog light, repair scratches on rear light cluster. I was told that repair would be 2 weeks maximum and they would give me updates throughout the process. No updates were given, after 2 weeks I gave them a call to ask if the car was ready to be told that it would be ready in the next couple of days. heard nothing for 1 week then I was told it was ready, unfortunately I would be away on business but to go ahead and deliver car back and my wife would do the handover. When the car was dropped off she noticed that there was some condensation in the rear light cluster that had been repaired, this was reported back to DLG and car was rebooked for investigation on the 13th August, when I returned from my business trip I had a chance to have a look over the repair that had been carried out and I was shocked to find that it looked like the boot lid had been thrown on without regard to proper alignment rear spoiler was also misaligned , number plate trim was hanging off. Advised DLG that I had found that the repair was substandard and that I would drop off the car myself so I could speak directly to workshop personnel, Car was dropped of on the 13th August for what I thought would be a few days and I was told my car would be a priority as it was a return, after 1 week I had heard nothing so I gave them a call, was told that the repair was ongoing and would be ready soon, heard nothing for another week than called again to be told that workshop controller would call me back, this happened a few times without callback, was finally called on the 28th August and told car was ready travelled down the following day and collected car. Thankfully car was repaired to a decent standard with boot lid properly aligned and all other items put right, I did notice when I returned home that some of the interior trim around the rear window had not been fitted correctly but i managed to remove and refit myself. I will say that the staff were always polite even when they did not call back when they said they would. but the overall experience was less than satisfactory. I would not use them again I would pay the extra money and put it to a local body shop that I know and trust to provide good service and repair.
