Insurance Repair

DLG provided a fast, professional and efficient response to repairing my car via my insurance company. They went beyond repair services by valeting the car inside and out as well.

Accident damage repairs

My car was sent here by Churchill Insurance for accident damage repairs.
Good service with regular updates from the staff in branch.
Had a few issues with my car after the initial repair, but all were dealt with promptly and supplied with a courtesy car for the whole duration while ongoing works took place.
I would be happy to use again if needed

The garage made a courtesy car available to me (although it wasn't offered straight away), when damaged car became unroadworthy.
I had to wait weeks for a particular part to be available, but they kept me informed and updated me regularly. When my car was returned to me it had been valeted and looked like new.
