Within no time is was dealt with via my insurance & repaired pefectly!

I even got left a lovely note as they repaired another scratched area from who knows what other vehicle i.e some people can't drive in car parks! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Use at your peril.

Use at your peril.
Owned by Direct Line - so my car was automatically sent there. After someone drove into the back of me at low speed there was minor damage to my bumper. When my car came back the vinyl bumper looked like it was from a 10 year car with UV damage and it did not match any of the other vinyl trim. The wheel arch trim had also not been clipped on properly.
The took at back for "another go" and this time it came back with a new bumper. The wheel arch trims were all out of line and one had now been scratched, the parking sensors were stuck on with tape and so fell out. The respray had been badly taped off and there was a lump in the paint in one place - and this was after it had supposedly been signed off as "spot on" by the workshop manager. Let's just say I never gave them a third go and I went elsewhere.

Long repair

The only positive was that they contacted me and informed me the part was still unavailable.
The negative was that after four months, my car was delivered dirty inside and out. The fuel gauge was so red it was painful to look at, wondering where almost 20 liters of fuel had gone, if I'd make it to the gas station in time, and the car was covered in scratches.
After a brief intervention and heated discussion, I received a £50 refund for fuel and a wash, and the mechanic came and fixed all the scratches.
I will definitely never return to this garage again. Learn from the best in the business – Master Cars (Birstall) Limited is a place I recommend without hesitation.

Terrible service but friendly staff

Took too long to pick car up and too long to fix it. It was returned with faults that they have refused to fix fobbing me off with it's an existing fault. So now I've got to pay someone else to do the work

BMW body work repair…

DLG had my BMW for body work repair after a lovely deer decided to say hello.
From start to end, they were fabulous.
The pick up guy was fab, even noticed work needing doing that I hadn’t spotted but he made sure he came back from securing on his truck to tell me!
Customer service was excellent; They went through every step clearly on what I was to expect.
They kept me updated on what was happening and the time frame it would be done in.
I was surprised when they told me I was getting it back early.
When I got my car back, it looked brand new again; they even hoovered the inside! A job well done!!!
