Review summary

From start to finish a great and quick repair on my company vehicle. Only took 7 days from dropping off vehicle to collecting. Very good customer and repair service. Highly recommended.

Great service

Great service, great communication. turned up when they said they would. My only comment would be I asked for a quote for them to fix a small scratch while they had my car and I’d pay an additional amount, but nobody ever got back to me.
Other than that they did the job that they were required to do.

Ignorant and unhelpful

This body shop is local to me so I popped in to see if they could help with with a small job for my Daughter’s car. I stood in what they refer to as their ‘Reception’ for ages; no-one came to see me. Eventually an older guy that turned out to be The Manager finished his phone call and looked over at me; he didn’t bother to stand up. I explained what I was looking for and he managed to persuade someone to come and speak to me. This guy took my phone number and promised to call me later that day which of course he failed to do.

Communication issues

The repair itself was done well.

Unfortunately, the overall experience was very frustrating because of poor communication.

The delivery date kept changing, from the 22nd to the 30th, then to the 1st, then the 6th, and back to the 1st. These changes were only updated on the website, and no one contacted me directly. I even called before the 30th to confirm the car would be ready and was told it would be, but the date changed again afterwards without anyone letting me know.

This caused problems with my courtesy car, as my insurance cancelled it based on the completion date showing online. I had to be late for work, trying to sort it out. Later that day, I was told someone would call me back to confirm whether the car would be ready, but no one did. By 4pm I still hadn’t heard anything, and after several calls and a voicemail, I eventually got through and was told the car would not be ready after all.

I understand delays can happen, but the lack of updates made everything much more stressful than it needed to be. A simple phone call when the dates changed would have made a big difference.

Had some damage repairs done

Had some damage repairs done, STEER were really prompt and made the repair booking and process seamless. They explained the time scales and clarified any queries I had. Post pickup of my car, I had a couple of glitches which STEER were so helpful to look into, didn’t have to book, they addressed my problems on the spot, and made me know I could bring attention to any concerns I may have even after completing their obliged input.

The staff were really lovely. Very helpful and courteous. We had a bit of a hiccup with the courtesy car, which was dealt with quickly. The repairs were done quickly and the vehicle returned quickly. All in all, a good experience with this company.

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service. My car was picked up on time and a courtesy car left. I was kept well informed during the repair process and it was completed before the expected date and delivered back to me promptly. The repair looks excellent and the car valeted to a very good standard.

Average experience. Job was done, but a lot of follow up needed

Liked the courtesy car and the job was done fairly neatly.
Didn't like the number of times I had to call to get booked in, could rarely reach the repairs department.
Average experience overall.

Would completely avoid.

Would completely avoid.

My insurance repair took nearly six months due to missed damage during the initial assessment, repeated delays, and poor workmanship.

The car was returned to me with a completely flat tyre after being driven from Essex to Medway in that condition, despite me warning them beforehand the vehicle was not fit to drive. It then had to be recovered again.

As a single parent household, the experience was incredibly disruptive. A courtesy car was only provided once the vehicle had physically gone back into the garage, meaning there were multiple periods where I was left without any transport at all.

The vehicle later had to go back a third time because the bonnet alignment was unacceptable, and when the car was finally returned the engine management light was still on.

The lack of quality control throughout was genuinely shocking.
