Excellent service provided by DLG Auto Services - above and beyond what they were expected to do. by…

My car was sent to DLG Auto Services by my insurers after an unknown vehicle destroyed my wing mirror overnight. DLG phoned me in relation to other areas of damage and I informed them very clearly that these were old damage - from three years or so earlier - and not related to the current claim. When the car was returned to me it was in immaculate condition, and the earlier damage had also been repaired despite my assurance that it was not part of the current claim. I do not know which branch this was as my insurers had not given specific details, nor did the DLG branch, but I couldn't have asked for better service.

bumps and dents galore during repair

they had car collected then decided they won't fix it (misfuel) and sent ton mercedes,,
The process took a month and is good EXCEPT between leaving me.... going by tow company... inspected by them... sent to merc.... returned to them and then driven here (over 50miles).. it gained small dents in sides, scraped on both front corners, reversed into something and cracking the rear bumper (maybe damaged as well as paint) and broke the front under-bumper....
whoever it was responsible I still have many small dents and damaged bumpers,

apart from that, I'm just glad to get it back

I had an accident with a full grown deer. DLG Autos took all the stress away from collecting the vehicle, keeping me up dated on a weekly basis both via text and speaking to me on current status. The ladies in the office were brilliant and remained professional at all times. DLG Autos were very open and honest regarding any delays and answered any of my queries. Well done team.

DLG are a great repair team!!

DLG were always prompt, professional and friendly in their interactions regarding the repair on my vehicle.
They picked it up from my front door, gave me a courtesy vehicle to keep me moving and let me know when to ,expect delivery back to me.
When there was a delay in receiving a part they needed they extended my courtesy car rental and always kept me informed so I knew what was happening.
My car looks great- the repair has made it look "brand new"!
Now I just need to keep it that way!!
Thank you DLG- you are a great team

Positive Professional Service

From start to finish my experience with dealings with all the staff at DLG Auto Services,Weybridge was a positive one. They were prompt and polite in all their responses with clarity in their emails offering a simple process on how to proceed with booking in a delivery of a new courtesy car and my damaged car to be picked up.
A following call was much appreciated from the repair engineer and he gave a timescale for the repair with ongoing updates that was very welcome. The office always answered the phone promptly and answered any additional questions I had thoroughly.
My car delivery staff were just as good and my car was returned fully valeted with the repairs and paint work done to the damaged front bumper like new, an excellent paint match.
I can’t thank everyone enough for making this experience a positive one.
Thank you, Christine

Still waiting for a part since September 2025 with no reasonable explanation as to why it's taking so long. Car was returned in December not fully fixed with the promise that when the part came in they would fix it. It's January the 6th 2026 and I'm still waiting. Not to mention despite the job not being complete I was forced to pay the £400 excess!

lack of professionalism and accountability

after receiving my car back following repairs, I immediately experienced a fault with the Keyless-Go system, where the key was repeatedly not detected unless it was moved around the vehicle to establish a signal. DLG inspected the vehicle and dismissed the issue as a coincidence related to the keyless system.

I subsequently took the car to an independent local garage, where it was confirmed that the front antenna for the Keyless-Go system, located under the main console, was completely missing. In addition, the associated wiring had been left hanging and disconnected, indicating incomplete and negligent workmanship.

Despite being provided with clear evidence of this fault, DLG has denied responsibility and refused to rectify the issue. This response is unacceptable and reflects a lack of professionalism and accountability. Their failure to acknowledge an evident installation error and their unwillingness to take corrective action has caused significant inconvenience and raises serious concerns regarding the standard of repair carried out on my vehicle.

What a fantastic team.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank the team at DLG Auto Services for the outstanding service following my recent repair.

After the collision (which thankfully wasn’t my fault), I was genuinely impressed by how quickly and efficiently everything was handled. The repairs were completed far sooner than I expected—especially given how close it is to Christmas—and the car looks and feels like new again.

I really appreciated being kept informed at every single stage of the process. Both the collection and delivery drivers were polite, friendly, and professional, which made the whole experience even smoother. Having the car returned fully valeted was a lovely touch and very much appreciated.

The team’s work ethic, attention to detail, and customer care truly deserve recognition. Thank you for making what could have been a stressful situation such a positive experience.
