Will not use again,
Following, on from the response it seemed only appropriate to respond in full to the points raised.
Whilst we have used the garage over a period of time we have not used it in over 3 years following concerns about extra work being done. We only used dcb again as we needed a quick mot done and the garage we have been using could not fit it in for 10 days but dcb could fit in the next day. When driving to the garage the water bottle warning light came on, I ask the garage to just top up with a bit of water if there was insufficient to complete the test. We then received notification

Recently my aircon compressor went on my car, DCB supplied and fitted a new one at a very competitive price, I had issues with getting in touch with my warranty company. But DCB contacted them on my behalf, and got it all sorted..what fantastic customer service you have. I cannot thank you enough for the time and effort you have given me.....thank you

After another garage we’re not the most helpful with an issue, these booked me in at short notice and very quickly diagnosed and fixed the issue. They were friendly, helpful, quick, honest and informative and I will definitely be using this garage from now on! Thank you very much.

Outstanding honesty and service. They kept to the appointment time and 45min duration. It's the first time my MOT bill was 45 - normally they find someting to replace. Highly recommended.
