Sorry to hear you did not have a great experience. Unfortunately there was a delay in returning your vehicle.
Sometimes this happens and further parts are required.

Great service

Car repairs were organised through my insurance company due to an accident which was completely not my fault!!
DLG kept in regular contact about the repairs, picked up my car and brought it back to me - which was great.
Car looks good as new!!

good and bad

the work carried out on the car was perfect and it was returned nice and clean.
However ...
1) your driver arrived unannounced to pick up the car, despite us being told he would phone 30mins before hand. He was apparently too busy to phone. Just by chance my wife had returned with the car just a few minutes before otherwise the car would not have been available.
2) my wife received a text advising that the work had been finished the previous day yet it was a further 2 days before we got the car back
3 a total of 17 days from pick-up till return seems excessive for work that should have taken about 3 or 4 days

Hi, I'm sorry that it hasn't all gone to plan and that you are unhappy with the service but I'm pleased to hear that you are happy with the work carried out on the car and the valet. I've asked the site to get in touch with you directly to discuss the issues.

It could have been so good............

Bodywork on car is excellent, contact process and photo uploads went well.....and the people involved in collecting and returning car are lovely.

However, a fixed aerial was removed from the car during the process and not returned or replaced. I have had to phone on 3 occasions and it is always "I will need to ask the workshop" or "we need to check the video" or "the manager is on holiday".

What could have been a perfect score of 5 is therefore a 2.......and I still don't have my aerial back!! :(

Our 5 year old Yaris was rear ended and transported down to DLG Auto Services in Perth for repair. We were updated throughout and car was delivered back to us when promised. Great service.

From our initial phone call to our insurance company to getting our car back fully restored was minimal hassle. It turned a very stressful situation into a stress free experience very quickly. Our car was picked up and dropped off at the time DLG said it would be. The repair was perfect, as good as new, top job!

What great service both from the workshop and the office. We received prompt communications at every stage of the repair process, and our need for our car as tow vehicle for a booked holiday was effortless taken account of.

I got text messages saying the car was ready when it wasn’t. Very hard to get a definite answer. People promised to call back with information but never did. Actual work ok, but staff really not bothered.
