Avoid at all costs!!

Avoid at all costs!!
Was allocated to them for a non-fault accident. They they allocated me to Steer Farringdon. It took 2 months for them to repair minor damage to the bumper. When it was finally returned, there was further damage they had caused (a scrape and body displacement). They did not inform me of this and hoped I would not notice. They took the car back and repaired the scrape but didn't repair the displacement. They took it back for a 3rd time and repaired the deplacement but returned it with a brake warning light, excess milage used, vent damage and damage to the side of my door. They have refused to accept liability and also falsified the pre repair checklist. Luckily I took a photo of the report before they made any changes and will now be involving the motor and financial ombudsman. Absolutely shocking service. I was better off leting the at fault party repair. Please save yourself the trouble. Tina failed to investigate properly and simply took the garages word. I am still waiting to hear back on why records were edited after I signed them!

Excellent repair and paintwork

Excellent repair and paintwork! My car was looking a bit funny before, but Marshmallow (my insurer) recommended Steer Romford and they didn’t disappoint. Within just 3 weeks my baby car was back on the road, looking lush and fresh.

That said, customer service could be improved. It would be much better if staff proactively explained what work had been carried out. Once I did, however, the lady handling my case explained everything clearly and thoroughly, which I appreciated. ❤️

Avoid at all costs

My insurer sent my car to them after an accident. They promised a 3-week repair, but it took over 2 months. When I finally went to collect the car, they forced me to sign paperwork before even showing me the car. After the long wait, the car still wasn’t properly repaired, there still a loud abnormal noise from the engine.

The staff dismissed it as “wear and tear” on the exhaust, but I knew that wasn’t true. I had the car independently inspected, and it turned out the issue was two broken engine mounts, nothing to do with the exhaust and a completely different part of the car. They had sent my insurer a false report blaming the noise on wear and tear, and even lied that my independent garage was agreed with them (it wasn’t).

I was left with a faulty car and no support. It took ages to escalation to the Financial Ombudsman, who ruled in my favour. My insurer had to cover the proper repair and compensation.

They were dishonest, unprofessional, and evasive throughout. They shifted blame, misled my insurer, and showed no accountability. Absolutely appalling service, do not trust them with your vehicle.

I had my car repaired at this garage…

I had my car repaired at this garage after another vehicle reversed into mine, causing a dent, scratches, and cracked paint above the rear wheel. The repairs were handled through insurance.

Initially, everything looked fine, but after just a month, the paint has started cracking again. It now seems like the garage only painted over the damage without properly fixing the surface underneath. This is disappointing, especially considering it was meant to be a professional insurance-approved repair.

I expected a lasting and high-quality job, not a quick cover-up. I would appreciate someone from the garage contacting me to discuss how this can be resolved properly.
