FMG Bournemouth - ACE 5*

FMG Bournemouth oversaw the repairs to my vehicle recently - from the moment I booked it in, to regular updates to keep me informed to when I collected it they were fantastic. The repairs are literally better than it was before - the whole team is a credit to the company - and they didn’t get frustrated with my regular requests for updates 😂 thank you

FMG provided an excellent service

FMG provided a polite, prompt and professional service. They contacted me to bring in for the assessment, collected my vehicle for repair and delivered my courtesy car which was really helpful. Turned the repair around in a tight time frame to get the car back to me for a long journey I had coming up. The repair is seamless, in addition it came back super clean inside and out, which it wasn’t when I sent it in for repair! Thank you so much to the whole team and Babs for pushing for the quick turn around. Very very grateful!

FMG Bournemouth dealt with my accident repairs as speedily as they could due to the difficulty sourcing parts. They kept me informed all the way through. The 3 members of staff I had contact with from start to finish were extremely polite and helpful

Poor quality repair

FMG Repair Services in Bournemouth were appointed by Churchill Insurance to repair my vehicle.
The quality of the repair is very poor. Not only is there a paint defect in the external bodywork, there are multiple areas of damage on both nearside door trims where they have been levered off to access the door handles. I have been informed by the General Manager that my vehicle was worked on by an apprentice… The interior of my car was also dirty when returned to me.
Unfortunately my insurer insisted that I take my car back to FMG to have the defects rectified, and I am now in the process of having this done. They have so far been helpful, and I will update this review when the work is complete.

UPDATE 14/02/25 Steve Woodward went to great lengths to rectify the defects, including repairing the external defect and replacing most of the interior plastic trim with new. I was given a loan EV during these repairs and all the staff I dealt with were friendly and helpful. The door trim is still loose but can’t face going back, so increasing my rating from 1 to 3.

Great overall service

Picked the car up quickly. Took awhile to fix but it’s because the parts needed to be created and back ordered. Car looks good as new, then they delivered the car back as soon as mine was ready

I had a serious amount of repair work caused by a hit and run, and my insurer directed me to FMG. What an excellent service, from dropping off my courtesy car to being informed every few days of the repair progress. Work completed to a high standard, within the time frame expected. very good service.

Rude customer service

Spoke to two different receptionists here and the impression they gave is that they couldn’t care less. Both had an attitude, were rude and confrontational, my car had been in the garage for over 2 weeks with no update, and they had no empathy. Would not recommend just for customer service reasons, it’s a shame because the only reason I gave 2 stars is the lovely mechanic I spoke to originally.

Slow & Poor Communication

Non fault insurance claim via Direct Line - van was collected w/c 6th June. Repairs were scheduled to be completed within two weeks.

At present, the repairs have been continually pushed back to nearly 6 weeks with no official completion date in sight. Majority of damage was cosmetic with new radiator filter needed.

Online status portal is infrequently updated and only when you call the office are you given any real information. However, this is vague at best. Customer Service are essentially the first line of defence - ready to serve up a pre-rehearsed list of excuses to why the repairs are continually behind schedule.

Common 'reasons' include: Waiting inspection / delayed parts / staff holidays / staff sickness / quality control etc etc

Other reviews seem favourable, but I'm assuming as this is an insurance job, its on the insurers time, so there is no urgency.

I'll be happy to update this review based the quality of the repair work but until I received a completion date that FMG are able to fulfil and have my vehicle returned, I'm left frustrated and disappointed in their service.

Fantastic job and service

All staff at FMG repairs at Bournemouth/Poole were very kind, helpful & very professional. The service at every stage of the repair to my car was great. The courtesy car was even a new model. The repair to my car was perfect and on return, my car looked like new. Thank you! I would definitely recommend this company!
