What a fantastic team.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank the team at DLG Auto Services for the outstanding service following my recent repair.

After the collision (which thankfully wasn’t my fault), I was genuinely impressed by how quickly and efficiently everything was handled. The repairs were completed far sooner than I expected—especially given how close it is to Christmas—and the car looks and feels like new again.

I really appreciated being kept informed at every single stage of the process. Both the collection and delivery drivers were polite, friendly, and professional, which made the whole experience even smoother. Having the car returned fully valeted was a lovely touch and very much appreciated.

The team’s work ethic, attention to detail, and customer care truly deserve recognition. Thank you for making what could have been a stressful situation such a positive experience.

Great customer service

This company is not fixated with doing everything online. Staff are helpful, ring back if busy and are knowledgeable.

Cannot fault the repairs to the vehicle.

Excellent bodywork and paint repair carried out to a very high standard. The headlight replacement was fitted perfectly and the paintwork was colour matched flawlessly - you genuinely can’t tell any work has been done. Great communication throughout, friendly service, and everything was completed ahead of time. Highly recommended thankyou :)

The repair to my car was swift and kept to timeframe

Dealt with the issues with the damage to my car. Was not always easy to contact them but when they called back the issues were dealt with and my replacement car first was a mess but the second one was great and equivalent quality to my own. Took a very long time to sort out the costs as the person who caused the accidents insurance were not replying. I was kept informed and DLG kept to their timeframe.

Ann Southwell

I had the best customer service experience with DLG. I spoke to Ellie & Megan who were so lovely and arranged for my car to be collected from my home address and taken to the garage for repair. Dean called within the time slot to confirm when he would be arriving to collect my car and also when he’d be delivering it back to my address after it had been repaired. He was so kind and helpful.
The garage called to give me feedback on the damage and what repairs they needed to carry out ( sorry can’t remember the guys name but he was also very nice and gave clear and concise information) My car looks great
What a fantastic team - thanks a million. Your customer service is second to none.
