I could have kept my car though until the part was available so feel I was given a courtesy car costing insurance company unnecessary money

Major car repair
My car had to go in for major body repair. Very prompt and friendly service. All aspects explained to me, received a courtesy car and again all controls were explained to me before leaving the vicinity. I was given an expected date when my car would be ready. Fantastic service car was ready 4 days earlier. My car looked like new and beautifully clean.
Once again everybody very friendly and efficient. Would recommend them to anybody.

First Class service
After having someone scrape the side of my car my insurance company arranged for my car to be repaired by Gillibrand. The service has been first class with regular updates and a quick turn around time, collecting and dropping off my car at home at a time that was convenient to me. The car looks brand new! Thank you Gillibrand.

No one likes to be caught up having an accident. I was and dealt with FIXAUTO in Blackburn. From the reception staff to the loss accessors you couldn’t ask for any more. The staff are polite, helpful and go beyond what they need to do to help at a difficult time. Everyone was so helpful and really listened when I had trouble with my insurance company. I would highly recommend this company as I received a 5* service from everyone that I dealt with. Thank you so much.
