Excellent Repair Service for my Jaguar XE

My Jaguar XE was damaged at the end of July requiring several thousand pounds of repairs. Prompt, professional and ongoing liaison with their Solus Wood Green damage assessor occurred. Within 2 weeks my car was authorised for an insurance funded repair, collected and 2 weeks later it was returned to me in SE London.

Step by step liaison with relative Solus staff was first class, supplemented by Solus' intuitive website affording multiple photos be uploaded by me which included some I'd not thought about such as the VIN, Speedometer showing mileage, etc as well as progress updates. Altogether a very professional, helpful service was accorded to me.

Solus's sourcing and re-application of paintwork protection to repaired panels and overall colour matching (especially great given my Jag is 9 years old) were all outstanding. My car was cleaned inside and outside to a very high standard before being returned to me.

Good morning.

Thank you for giving the team a 5 star trustpilot review.

Great to hear that the colour match was achieved and that is also down to you for looking after the vehicle, keeping it in good condition makes the colour match less challenging as a car starts to age.

Solus Castleford

Solus Castleford

My car got picked up on the Thursday afternoon and Solus and kept me updated throughout the repairs, got a phone call on the Friday to say I would get it back on the Monday.

When i got the car back work that had been done was great (grille, front bumper and bonnet replacement) and looking at it now would think there was never any work needing doing.

Car looked like it had been nicely washed and also cleaned out on the inside as well which was a nice touch, to get the car back with that.

Would definitely recommend Solus Castleford.

I had a few issues with my experience

I had a few issues with my experience. Firstly, I was disappointed to see that the existing damage to the front bumper hadn’t been repaired well, despite them assuring me on the phone that they would fix all damage present. However, when the car was returned, the damage was still obvious under the freshly sprayed bumper.
Secondly my car was picked up by a driver and driven, but it was returned on a low loader. I found this strange and so did the person who returned the car, he said that’s not right, it should have been picked up on a low loader.
My final issue is that when asked about a drop off slot by Solus, I specifically asked for between 3-6pm due to work commitments, however the driver arrived at 11am. There was a clear communication issue within the company, and then back to me, as the drop off driver said this wasn’t passed on to him at all, hence the early arrival. This would have been a bigger issue had there not been someone home.
The actual damage caused by the van has been repaired to a very good standard, but this has been overshadowed by the points raised above.

Good afternoon.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

Whilst we're pleased to hear that the accident damage was repaired to a very good standard, we're sorry that other aspects of your experience fell short of expectations.

We understand your disappointment regarding the pre-existing bumper damage that you believed would be repaired, and we apologise for any confusion caused. We are also sorry for the lack of communication around your vehicle collection and return arrangements, as well as the delivery time not matching your requested availability.

Your comments have been noted and will be shared with the relevant teams to help improve our communication and customer experience moving forward.

Thank you again for your honest feedback.

Kind regards

Outstanding process and service

The whole process was completely seamless, from submitting my claim through the Aviva app right through to getting my car back. The communication was second to none, and I was kept informed at every stage. I was also pleasantly surprised by how quickly my car was booked in.

Everyone I dealt with, whether by phone or email, was incredibly friendly, professional and polite. The two lovely gentlemen who collected and returned my car were also fantastic. I honestly can't think of anything they could do to improve the excellent level of service they already provide.

The courtesy car I was given, a Vauxhall Corsa, was lovely. It was brand new, complete with that wonderful new-car smell, and drove like a dream. I would have happily kept it if I hadn't been so pleased to get my own car back!

When my car was returned, the workmanship was absolutely brilliant. You would never have known there had ever been even the tiniest scratch on it — it looked immaculate. They had also cleaned the car inside and out, which was an unexpected but very welcome surprise. It was sparkling and felt like I had a brand-new car again.

I really can't praise the whole experience enough. Everything was made incredibly easy, and I barely had to do anything apart from report the damage in the first place. The customer service was exceptional throughout, the communication was excellent, and the entire process was smooth and hassle-free from beginning to end.

I would highly recommend their service.

Good afternoon Lisa.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such detailed and positive feedback about your recent experience with us.

We are absolutely delighted to hear that the entire process, from reporting your claim through the Aviva app to the return of your vehicle, was seamless and hassle-free. Providing clear communication and keeping our customers informed throughout their repair journey is something we pride ourselves on, so it is wonderful to know this made such a positive difference to your experience.

We are particularly pleased to hear your kind comments about our customer service teams and the collection and delivery drivers. We will ensure your feedback is shared with everyone involved, as recognition like this means a great deal to our colleagues.

It is also fantastic to know that you were impressed with the courtesy car and, most importantly, with the quality of the repairs carried out on your vehicle. Returning your car in immaculate condition, both repaired and cleaned, is exactly the standard we strive to achieve, so it is extremely rewarding to hear that it exceeded your expectations.

Thank you again for your recommendation and your generous comments. We truly appreciate your trust in us and are delighted that we were able to make the experience as easy and stress-free as possible. Should you ever need our services again, we would be pleased to assist you.

My car had minimal damage and they had it for a month, I waisted holidays from work as I was told a date for my car for then to be delayed a further 3 times. Communication was terrible, I could not get an answer as to why this was being delayed or when I will be getting my vehicle. They also changed my front badge which was silver to an all blacked out one… the damage was not near the badge. They did not let me know they was doing this prior or to let me know they found additional damage to the badge. Which there was none. Only good I can say is they repaired the vehicle well.

Thank you for submitting a review, I can see that repairs have taken longer than we expected due to parts being delayed. I can see the difference in the front badge and I have asked the team to contact you to discuss further.

Having a live claim with Aviva…

Having a live claim with Aviva insurance i was horrified to receive the most vexatious and threatening email from Solus demanding that the courtesy car is returned. Having had to have my car removed from Solus to a independent mercedes benz dealership as it was clear this company were simply not qualified to do the essential assessment let alone any such repair to my car .Extremely poor customer service only because they are owned by Aviva do they get the level of business think twice before agreeing to repairs from Solus .Given your response I clearly indicated to your representative John that the claim was infact still live with Your parent company Aviva .Further more i received a call stating my car would be dropped off however solus do not even have the vehicle.
Again quite clearly the blind leading the blind here .

Good morning

Thank you for submitting a review and I am sorry to read you are unhappy. Having had a look at your file with us, as we are not repairing the vehicle the courtesy car is no longer covered under your insurance and I can see it has been arranged to be collected. There were calls where this was mentioned.

The claim can progress with Aviva but you would need to speak with them about the provision of the courtesy car on your policy, we only supply courtesy cars to vehicles we are progressing with the claim.

Many thanks
