I was very impressed with the service i received when my car was with DLG Autos.
Neil the engineer kept me up to date and went above and beyond to find the part which was causing a problem to obtain. Also i would like to mention a lady who was on reception when i went to get my wife's mobility scooter out of the car who helped me they are both a credit to DLG Autos.
Thank you for valeting my car.

After a minor collision in France

After a minor collision in France, they picked up my car from my home and took it their premises in Aldershot. They then drove it back after completing the repair. There is no way you would have thought the car had been damaged. An excellent job!

Outstanding service.

I cannot speak highly enough of this company. We were updated every day so knew that progress was being made. The work began as soon as the vehicle arrived and was completed ahead of the estimated time. We had complete confidence that the work would be of a high standard and we weren't wrong. Our car looks brand new. Many thanks to everyone concerned.

DLG AUTO SERVICES ARE AMAZING

DLG AUTO SERVICES ARE AMAZING! They are not only professional, but also kind, thoughtful and truly family friendly.
If I could give them 6 stars I would.
Kelly in the office and manager Adam went above and beyond to help me and my daughter when she was stranded, alone and her car wouldn’t start. I called in the off chance someone could go and jump start her car as I was 70 miles away. Adam was there wishing 15 minutes of my call. Helped her, started the car and did so in a kind, friendly and with generosity of heart. I will NEVER forget this kindness and want to say a HUGE thank you from the bottom of my heart. A truly great set up and obviously run by a people who genuinely care. 6 🌟
