Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service, was promised an ETA date and Fix Auto in Hainault stuck to their date which I was extremely happy about. They continuously updated me via email and phone calls to keep me posted on repairs time and back log on parts orders which made it easier for me to know what the status of the repair was. The repairs made the car look brand new again. Highly recommend this garage for car repairs.

A slow turnaround

Fix Auto was recommended by my insurance company so as someone who with no knowledge on cars, I took their word for it. When I dropped off my car, I didn’t anticipate saying goodbye to it for 32 days!!! I’ve never had a repair take this long and although a part needed to be ordered in, I was told it had been delivered by around day 12 i.e. long before I eventually collected my car. Further delays were then attributed to staff sickness in the painting workshop but again, this took the best part of 1 week. The protracted repair was most frustrating but I must give credit for the regular updates and the very clean car that was returned to me.

Hi Jenni, thanks for your review, obviously we are disappointed to hear that you experienced some delays, unfortunately it is very common in our industry to suffer very long parts delays, the industry is working hard to resolve these issues with vehicle manufacturers and we hope that they they keep engaging to understand the issues these delays are causing to the consumer. We are happy to hear that the updates, cleanliness of the vehicle and the actual repair was to your satisfaction. Thanks again Fix Auto Hainault.

Alfa Romeo Repair 👍

Had my Alfa repaired here. It’s an uncommon car, so parts are not readily available, and FixAuto informed me ahead of time which parts were on back order, so I was aware of how long the repair might take. The repair was done to a very high standard and the member of staff from whom I collected the car was polite and professional. So glad to have my car back and can enjoy driving again. Thanks guys!

accurate. I would definitely recommend them!!!

Avoid avoid avoid!!

Terrible service my car has been with fix auto Hainault now for 5 weeks, instead of the 2 weeks indicated to repair the front end damage.

The garage notified us the car was ready to be collected after 4 weeks, however upon inspection the 'new' replacement bonnet was damaged and even worse, there is now a 300mm dent to the rear nearside wing. The garage is claiming the dent was already there, which is categorically not true and their booking photos and all paperwork signing the car in shows no evidence of any damage to the rear nearside wing. Furthermore, upon collection we noticed polish residue near to the new dented area. They claimed they were just cleaning the car.

On three occasions I have seen the car parked on a public highway, half way up on the pavement which they denied first of all and then promised would not happen again but has.

Ken the manager, says he does not work a full week therefore decisions can only be made Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. This is causing severe delays.

Hi There,

Thank you for taking the time to review our services and we apologise for our delayed response and have ensured your comments regarding the repair and communication are relayed back to those that dealt with your repair.

We try to keep our customers informed with any new information throughout the repair process that directly affects the customer. If there is a recurring problem that persists related to the repair completed by our bodyshop or you are not happy with your repair please let us know if we are able to rectify this as it seems on this occasion, we were unable to meet our high standards.

We can ensure you that we pride ourselves in excellent customer and hope that in the future we are able to offer a better experience.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be aware of this…

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be aware of this company AVOID AT ALL COST

My insurance company informed me to take my vehicle to this garage to get my car door repaired.

The garage telephoned me to tell me that there is damage to the bottom part of the steering, and we should claim from the insurance for further repairs, I informed Mr Ken and his stupid garage that my car was not damaged beside the driver’s door which the insurance company knew clearly.

That is what they are paying for and have asked you to repair.

After 16 days This company & Mr Ken decided to fiddle with the steering column and called me to inform me that the cost to replace the steering part was £2000, the car is not drivable, and for me to come and collect it. This is a 2019 car well-kept vehicle; I am shocked that this nonsense still happens in this day and age.

I immediately told Mr Ken that it was unbelievable and shocking, and his response was should have just agreed with me and got your insurance company to foot the bill.

I am now in the process of taking this company to court.

Will keep you updated do not use this company.
They are very shady, the cowboys operate the following companies, I would not be surprised if HMRC is to investigate their accounting practices.

Hi Omar, we are surprised to read this review as you were informed at the beginning of the claim that your insurance company/the fee payer had inspected the steering issue and deemed it to be unrelated to the claim you made for the damaged door. This was all pointed out at the beginning of the process and you were invited to come in on the 8th to discuss the issue in detail, you failed to turn up. The door has now been repaired and the dispute you have is with the insurance company dealing with your claim. Please amend your review to reflect this as we cannot be held responsible for not repairing the area that your insurance company are refusing to accept as related. The fee payer will clearly not authorise payment for what they believe is damage from a previous incident (possibly pothole damage). I would be happy to discuss this in detail on my direct number 0208 5967794 Paul Cunningham - Commercial Director. I look forward to hearing from you so this misinformed review can be discussed in detail. Many thanks

Update, I understand the fee payer has instructed an independent engineer to inspect your suspension issues. Obviously if they change their original decision that the damage is unrelated to your claim we will be able to rectify the issue. Would you please amend this review accordingly specifically removing the slanderous comments around us being "Very shady and the comments about our accounting"

Whilst typing this I have also now been advised that you have sent your own independent specialist in who has agreed that the suspension damage is clearly on the opposite side to your door repair claim and is clearly another impact incident, as such you have now collected the car and refused to sign the waiver explaining the damage to the suspension deems the car unsafe to drive. Again, I ask that you remove or edit this review. Fix Auto Dagenham will also be in touch via our legal team to advise your options regarding these slanderous and quite frankly spurious accusations.

They have been unprofessional and not helpful from the very start to the repairs to my car. I had to go a few times to collect my car And both times it was an incomplete job.the first time only half the back bumper was painted. The car looked two different shades. It looked awful. I had to ask them to complete the job. They blamed the insurance company saying they were asked only to paint half the bumper. Makes no sense to me. Then the petrol gauge was not fitted back properly and was not flushed so I had to go back a third time to have that fitted.I also had to go back again as they got paint on my alloys and didn’t clean it up. Then again when the signals on my car came on And they refused to repair it.now my car is not road worthy. They have just left it like that without repairing the damages they caused on my car. Please I beg you do not use their services. You will be disappointed ☹️
Please don’t mention poor workmanship about other garages when your work on my car was so poorly done and the amount of stress that was caused.
This was the Hainault branch

Hi Sazeeda, as discussed at the time of collection your insurance company deemed the faulty bonnet switch unrelated to the rear impact that we repaired, it was also pointed out that the front of your vehicle had received a poor previous repair from another bodyshop and you were advised to go back to them to have it looked at. Obviously we can only take instruction from your insurer who you were advised to take this up with. we understand they relayed the same instruction but you chose to refuse that advice. Please amend your review to align with these events as blaming us for a previous poor repair is very unreasonable on your part. Should you wish to discuss this further I would be happy to explain again why we have not been authorised to repair something that was completely unrelated to the work carried out to your vehicle. Many thanks Paul Cunningham - Commercial Director

Good service

I would like to bring to the attention of management that one of your front of house employees Daniel is a credit to your organisation and the team . From arrival at the site he was polite smiling engaging listened to everything paid attention to detail all a customer needs.

This continued until the end of the duration of the work he was professional did what he said initially as in information updates please give him my thanks he made this experience easy.

As a company your training shows through there were two people front of house and they were a credit to the company.

The quality of the work was excellent so thank you to the workshop.

A truly first-rate experience

I was impressed, first and foremost of course, by the excellent quality of the repairs to my 6-month-old car: the quite severe damage to the body work along the near side was repaired to perfection with not a trace of the previous damage. Secondly (but to my mind of equal importance), was the politeness and sheer pleasantness of the staff who dealt with me, from the telephonist (at the Dagenham branch) who arranged the appointment, to receptionist, Ken, at Hainault who gave a clear and informative idea what needed to be done and kept me regularly informed of progress while I was without my vehicle. I should also mention the delightful young man who showed me around as I inspected the completed work. The courtesy car supplied, although smaller, was more than adequate. A truly great service!

Hi Josephat, we are sorry that your experience was not to your expectations on this occasion. Unfortunately, and as we explained, your insurance company did inform us that you had an invoice to pay and as such we were not authorised to release your vehicle. We would request that you speak to your insurance company to get your complaint resolved as we are only the third party in this matter. Many thanks Fix Auto Dagenham

I will not recommend

My insurance company has instructed them to collect my motor vehicle for repairs. They have collected but the problem you as a client not able to contact them because they do not answer the calls at all. I have end up reporting them to my own insurance company. They have managed to repair my motor vehicle and return back to me but vehicle had issues over heating, headlights not been done properly and the steering wheel was scratched. I would not recommend this company to anyone.
