The staff I met and spoke with by phone were all helpful and pleasant. The work done was to the highest standard, though I'm glad I wasn't paying the bill.

My car went off for repair and was fairly quickly returned sadly bits were missing and the job wasn't finished, some parts were still broken, 2 weeks later an engineer came out and couldn't repair it in the carpark. Another 2 weeks later they took the car away and gave me a non like for like replacement as apparently they don't have to honour that if they mess up the repair. I finally got my car back and its ok and I cant be bothered to complain any more but its not great.

I was involved in a accident, no fault of my own. Dlg auto's came out to pickup my car. I was informed that the car was written off. I only got the car last November 2025.i received 10,041,28p. I paid it straight to the finance company. I found myself in debt to the sum of £700, paid a further £292. I have another £400 which will be paid to the finance company. Now DLG auto's are saying that I need to pay them a retention fee to get my car from them, I called my insurance company and finance company, they said that the car belongs to me and they have never heard anything about a retention fee. I'm going to seek legal advice if they refuse to let me take my car....

I am just so greatful to get my car back after waiting a considerable amount of time and as I’ve picked it up, it’s just in the best condition I could have asked for! I’m raised my concerns with DLG going forward but the car is back to “It’s formal glory” and I’m so grateful. Thank you again to the DLG team. Thank you to Julie for the great communication throughout the car being in your care. Thank you Nicky for the great advice when picking the car up. If I knew any of the mechanics names, I would take my hat off to you Sirs! Thank you!

Very professional and friendly to deal with. Kept me informed throughout whilst car was in garage for bodywork work repair. Couldn't fault them. Repair was excellent and car returned looking like new.

The original repair was good apart from they had missed a small scratch on the top of the door. After sending a picture to Simon Bennett they asked me to take the car back to see what they could do. Jamie came out off his lunch brake and polished out the scratch and even had a look at a couple more that were not related to the repair. Couldn’t ask for better service what a top guy and a real asset to DLG!

My car was collected on a Thursday, I was told I would get a call on the Friday from the Assessor, which I did not. I tried calling on the Saturday but they dont work at weekend so I rang again on the Monday, the receptionist was sympathetic and although she could not get hold of him at that moment she said she would leave a message to call me. I still did not receive a call and called AGAIN on Tuesday and the Receptionist left another message. I eventually got a call back from a parts technician who told me they were waiting for parts and there was a delay due to an IT issue at Suzuki. Later that day I finally got a call from the Assessor who told me the same as the parts guy and said he would keep me posted on progress. I got a text the same day saying the work would be completed on the following Monday. i heard nothing more and eventually called AGAIN on the Monday and spoke to someone in the Parts Department and was told they had found another part that was needed and had to order this from Suzuki, I was AGAIN promised I would be kept updated. On the Wednesday I got a call for the receptionist and arranged for the care to be returned on the Thursday. The collection and delivery drivers were very friendly and helpful as were the Reception staff but the level of actual service fell well below my expectations and the promises I was made. My car was away for two week, which is in excess of the 7-10 days I was advised and as I am disabled I rely very much on my car. The repairs seem to be OK although I have an issue with an alarm that keeps going off but I will ask my mechanic about this when I take the car for Service and MOT in a few days time as I cannot be without my car while DLG sort this out.

Great admin staff. Kept up to date with progress. Friendly staff collected the car. Really pleased with the repair work. The real bonus was the valeting. Neighbours thought I had a new car.
