Fantastic service!

They repaired my car after a collision, we were referred to them from the other parties insurance but I would 100% use them again.
They called frequently with updates, were polite and kind. They even collected our damaged car and delivered it back to us when the job was done. For a family with young children at home this was very much appreciated!

Quality of work was great but my experience was let down by their lack of communication. After my insurance company approved the work, they failed to contact me re booking my car in. I had to chase them. Once collected- which was great as it was from my house - they then failed to keep me updated of progress. I was told it would be every 2 / 3 days - I had to ring twice for updates. Also it’s pot luck if your call got answered in a timely fashion.

Great staff let down by poor communications

The staff I spoke to were friendly and helpful but the overal customer experience is poor and the directors need to asses this. The phone system is weak and it can be extreemly difficult to get through at times resulting in having to email and hopefully getting a reply. Also the delivery date of my car was not adhered to leading to me taking time off work and as a consequence a loss of income. Compenation of any kind was denied.Suggest revisit the communication systems and customer experince process.

hi there, we are sorry that we could not achieve a service to warrant 5 stars, we have looked in to your communication experience with us, I would have liked to have seen a few more calls from us to you, I have to say we do have a very solid rule of never promising delivery until the car is absolutely complete, though I can see how you might have taken our intentions as something more solid. we appreciate your feedback and we will discuss your points to try and improve our approach for others.

FixAuto's service has been an absolute disappointment

FixAuto's service has been an absolute disappointment. Despite multiple promises, they consistently lied about the availability of the headlamp bracket needed for my car's repair. Their lack of transparency and truthfulness throughout this process has been frustrating and unprofessional. I wouldn't recommend FixAuto to anyone based on my experience.

hi there
we have spoken on the phone but to be transparent i will reply here too, we have been absolutely honest about the fact that we have been waiting for a headlamp bracket as it is on back order, we do not tell lies, it maybe true that at some stage somebody may have inadvertently given you the wrong information (our comms logs do not support this) it has not helped that you will only talk to the insurance company and head office, this can be a source of confusion as they then need to speak to us and then relay it back to you, things can get lost in translation and you have already quoted the names of people who do not work directly for us. im sorry that there has been this delay on your car coming back, we have done all we can to speed things up but is just out of our control when it comes to parts back order. please do call me on if you need any help and we will be in touch as soon as we have some news on your parts.

hi there
thank you for your review, we did have a mishap processing your initial estimate for which we apologise, but to be clear about your comments though, we only had your car with us for 10 days to do the repair itself. i agree the process took to long overall.

hi there,
i can see we did have your vehicle much longer than we would have hoped, it didn't help that we had some parts delays and it was over the Christmas period. we take on your points and thank your for your review.

Excellent work carried out the front end of my 2012 Focus looks like new again, I informed them of a small electrical fault on indicator and they rushed over to my workplace to fix it. Their service is second to none , thank you very much.

A First class service

I had excellent service from this company. Polite, friendly and helpful.
Car looked great after repair and washed. Mark even brought it directly to my home. I was really impressed with this company and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Appalling service

Appalling service. My car was crashed into whilst it was parked outside my house in June and after my insurance company passed the repairs onto fix auto I have not had a single update and don’t even know where my car is. It took 5 weeks for them to collect my car due to numerous errors on their end, they have had it for 5.5 weeks now and I was not told if it had been delivered too them safely, have not had any update regarding the status of the repairs, cannot get through to them as phone is always engaged and have had emails ignored. If you can avoid - AVOID.

I booked my company BMW into Fix Auto in New Milton, Hants, and from the outset I found the team, especially Mark, to be really friendly and helpful. They understood my wish to be back in my car as soon as possible, as it is always a hassle to have to use a hire car. I was aware that it might take a few weeks for the repairs to be completed but luckily it took just over a week and to my untrained eye the work looked excellent. Overall Mark and the team have a great work ethic where nothing is too much trouble and the customer comes first, a rarity these days. That said, I hope I don't see them again too soon, as it means I will have incurred more damage. Thanks Fix Auto

Work excellent but arrival/pick up awkward

I found the telephone calls and meeting the men on site extremely helpful. The only issue I had was the actual premises it was difficult to let them know I was waiting on their forecourt. Covid rules didnt help but the meet and exchange cars could be a lot smoother. No problem with work which was done and is excellent.

Great major repair completed by Bournemouth Team (New Milton). Very helpful people, good communication. Really good attention to detail. Russ particularly was so easy to deal with. We were given a courtesy car whilst our car was repaired. We would definitely recommend Fix Autos Bournemouth.

The quality of the work looks to be good, but the customer service was pretty poor. Initially the company stated they would proactively update me me on status, I had to call and chase twice a week. I got one callback at the very end almost 4 weeks after dropping my car for repair to say car was ready.

thank you for your review as it always helps us to improve things, i can see that we had to wait the best part of a month for a back ordered part to come in from Sweden and that there were 7 occasions on which we had spoken to you, however if it was yourself that had to call us then i am very sorry for that and we will look into ways to stop that happening.
