A excellent experience all round with L & I Eaton Arc Ltd. Great customer service that kept me informed at every stage. A relatively minor paint job but car was returned looking like new!

UNBELIEVABLE INCOMPETENCE

Regrettably, I’m afraid I am going to have to give this company negative feedback.
My principal reasons are as follows;
1. This company were instructed to carry out a straightforward repair on the edge of the rear door of our Motability vehicle, which houses a hydraulic lift at the back for the wheelchair. They were not qualified to repair the arm to the wheelchair, which had also been damaged due to a design fault when the vehicle was converted.
2. I found that trying to get through on the telephone was consistently quite difficult and their recorded messages, in the voice of an American lady, was quite amusing since she stated that if you wish to leave a voicemail, please press the £sign. I’m not sure what this is anyway it left me very confused.
2. The repair to the door was quite straightforward. I am not sure whether they repaired the door or fixed a completely new door.
In any event, upon receipt of the vehicle I was absolutely gobsmacked to find that the door that had been repaired/replaced, when closed did not align with the door on the other side. In fact it was out by about 1 cm !?! This would allow rain/water to get into the vehicle at the rear which may cause damage to the hydraulic lift.
3. The repair took far too long and caused us considerable inconvenience as this vehicle was specifically adapted to the needs of 3 disabled brothers.
4. There was absolutely no feedback in relation to the progress of the repair, whilst in their possession, or indeed any indication as to what it was that they intended to do with the repair.
5. The only reason I have given this a one star is that the chap who dropped off the vehicle was an extremely polite gentleman and very helpful.
My biggest grievance is the fact that I am very very disappointed that a company who purport to be the best, and the largest in the UK, have quite incompetently and carelessly, bordering on negligence, undertaken a repair which is wholly unsatisfactory. Unfortunately ,we will have to endure further distress and significant inconvenience once the vehicle is taken again, so that the door can be repaired and properly aligned when closed.

L and I Eaton ( Keith division) were super efficient from start to finish. Their instructions were clear as to how the vehicle repair would be dealt with and communication was excellent while the repair was carried out keeping us up to date.
The standard of repair was outstanding. As someone who has been involved in automotive repair work in the past I have some understanding of the level of skill required to achieve such a high standard of workmanship.
The vehicle was returned to us within a week which, given the damage is very quick.
They even found time to give the interior a thorough clean.
Thank you to everyone at L and I Eaton Keith, we are so appreciative of your work.
Highly recommended.

Fast turnaround !

Fast turnaround !
Hopefully you won't have an accident but, if you do, L & I Eaton Keith Branch will support you at every stage of the repairs.
My circumstances meant a request to expedite the works and it was accommodated. Phone updates throughout and a decent courtesy car made me feel like I was a respected customer.
The car was returned in good time for me ahead of my travels. It has been done to a very high spec and I'm very happy with it.

The staff were extremely friendly and kept us informed throughout the whole process. The repair was second to none. The valeting of the car was also top class,( I have paid for valeting many times previously but this experience far exceeded that). A really excellent company to deal with from top to bottom. Thanks so much.

Above and Beyond Service

Wonderful service. The Dunfermline branch has a star employee! E made over and beyond effort to ensure I got my courtesy car even though the fault was none of the company's own. E wasn't feeling well, but really calmed my frustration - not with L&E Eaton), tears and worry. I'd say this woman is akin to a cup of tea after an upside down day.
The work done was excellent like I'd never been hit and the service top notch. My car was cleaned and shiny like new.
I'd recommend this company everytime.

Doesn't appear to want to answer…

In no way is my review anything to do with L & I Eaton ARC Ltd
Purely and simply I have made an error, this review is regarding Eaton Car Sales Derby
Doesn't appear to want to answer difficult questions !
Advertised a Range Rover for sale, but when one checked the Registration number on the Government MOT site, it appears this Registration number doesn't exist ??
Emailed for an explanation and I was ignored !
Make what you will of that !

Hello John,

We believe there may have been some confusion. We are not a vehicle sales business we are an accident repair centre and do not advertise or sell cars. It’s possible you’ve mistaken us for another company with a similar name. We would be happy to clarify further if you contact us directly with details of where you saw the advert.

Kind regards,
L&I Eaton ARC

L&I Eaton Carlisle

The Carlisle branch of L&I Eaton went above and beyond with the repair of my car.
Working around my working shift pattern to ensure the work was completed within their expected timescale.

I was extremely satisfied with the workmanship.
A highly recommended company with very knowledgeable staff.

L and I Eaton -- Keith Branch

We cannot fault L and I Eaton -- Keith Branch. Our car was picked up and taken to L and I from our home north of Inverness. John, the person who came to collect our car, was friendly and professional. He took the time to inspect the damage and explain the steps involved in the repair. We thought we would be without our car for at least two weeks. We were contacted almost daily with updates on our car repair, and on the 5th day were told that our car had been repaired and would be delivered to us the following day. A nice young man had our car returned to us by 10 am the following day! Overall, this was an exemplary, and much less stressful than it could have been, experience! Thank you to John, Caroline, and everyone at the Keith Branch of L and I Eaton
