Superb service from start to finish. My car went in for repair after an accident and was dealt with unbelievably quickly. The communication from the staff at the Fylde Coast Accident Repair Centre was second to none... in particular from the estimator Mark, who kept me informed of what needed to be done, and most importantly, how long this would take. Very knowledgeable and very pleased to get a phone call saying my car repair was completed much sooner than first thought. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company to anyone I know. Thanks for the great work!

Fylde Coast has my Tesla model 3 for a boot repair. It has just arrived back after a couple of weeks. An excellent job, Im really pleased with it. Good communication from the team, and a lovely driver returned it to me. My only advice to Fylde Coast would be to update the Autoflow system a little more often. My dashboard didnt move off of 30% for a few days, then jumped to 40% then 100% in a day. No complaints though, an excellent service was received.

Superb repair cannot even tell a repair had been done. Brilliant updates and able to track the progress. Highly recommended. Just wish I hadnt been side swiped by a van in the first place! A major bonus was there was a constant whining noise at 70 and following a full wheel alignment it has gone - one happy customer!

I have just received my Tesla back from this garage. From start to finish they have kept me informed about everything. The service was amazing. I was also able to speak to Mark in the body shop to find out exactly what they would do and put me at ease after knowing they had experience in dealing with Tesla cars. I know at moment they are dealing with issues due to Covid but they were very prompt in getting my car repaired upon my request. Thank you once again to the whole team for sorting this out for me promptly. And credit to you all for the job that was carried out. You cant tell that the
