Took the BMW to Chartwells after a no fault insurance claim. As a Porsche Club member I had organised visits to their premises and their workmanship seemed first class.
I was not wrong, their service was efficient throughout the whole process, dealing with insurance companies and organising a hire car.
The car was extremely well presented on pick-up, just like jumping into a new one!!!

Many thanks Chartwell and Selina who dealt with the work.

First rate service

I have used Chartwell Derby multiple times stretching back to 2011 both as a direct customer and as a chosen repairer through insurance. The service has always been top class and the finished job is excellent. I’ve used various other coachworks nearer me in London for cosmetic works since I moved down South and after various customer service issues and not being completely happy with the work, I prefer to travel almost over 300 miles round trip to get a proper service. Make no mistake, this place is (I’m pleased to say), still a quality repairer, not easy to find these days.

Maintaining excellent service

I have been to Chartwell several times for their work on my BMWs over the years. Very recently I returned and found that their excellent service had not changed. They were, as ever, courteous and helpful at reception, and a technician gave prompt and informative assessment of my vehicle's needs. The work done was of excellent quality and the time required highly impressive. Tony Beaver

This is the 3rd time I have had my beloved car fixed by Chartwell, I collected My beloved car this afternoon and I was absolutely amazed at the wonderful results.
Seeing my car back to its former glory, put a big smile on my face.
Scot kept me upto date with the repair status all throughout the repair, that was very nice as I did not have to chase them.
The fantastic service provided by Chartwell, was reassuring and I did not have to worry about anything 😀.
A very big thank you Chartwell for your outstanding service. 👏❤️ Golf R 🚘.

Car went in for cosmetic repair, came back with wiring issues.

Car went in for a cosmetic repair, came back with wiring issues, clearly introduced at chartwells. Had to go to my local dealer to fix it - water had been allowed to leak into electric parts inside the car and wire connection pin was bend, took quite some time to find out.

Thank you for emailing us your concerns and posting your comments on Google and Trust Pilot regarding the recent accident repair we completed for you at Chartwell.
We understand and appreciate you are upset about the discovery that we made whilst your vehicle was with Chartwell for a mild accident repair, but at no point did we neglect our commitment to find the systems fault issue, regardless of the cause. As a business and individuals, we are sorry that on this occasion we failed to gain your trust and display our transparency over everything we do for our valued customers, sadly this breakdown in trust did stop us concluding the process for you.
We have been advised the Manufacturer did pay for this element of the repair given the nature of the fault from the sensor. Under the circumstances, we are pleased that the Manufacturer network continued on from our investigations and did find the problem and rectify the unexpected issue. Should you need any clarity or further information relating to the unfortunate sensor failures please do not hesitate to contact Chartwell directly.

Good thing I read the reviews...

Was going to make the huge mistake of bringing my lovely Porsche into this place. But after requesting a quote and being ignored, I decided to look at the reviews. Going somewhere more reputable.
