I went to two places to try and get a few dents knocked out and a respray and both would not do the work unless I paid out for the whole of one side of the car to be done. This is not what I wanted. These guys were great. I explained that I didnt expect perfection and just wanted it tidied up. For the price they have done great job. Better that I expected. Really impressed.

Brilliant garage. Popped in for a chat about my car it was booked in same day and back with me by 1300. They gave me a quote for the work over the phone and it was cheaper then the quote when it was time to pick the car up.

Rip off merchants who after misdiagnosing my car, they couldn't even put it back together properly! Then after forking out almost 600 they made it completely unsafe to drive, a devastating experience!

Great customer service, phoned on the day to arrange an MOT and they managed to fit me in same day, phoned when work was completed, very happy.

I've been using them for years for MoTs and have always found them to be very helpful and straightforward. They even spent 20 minutes once trying to get my windscreen washer pump going when it didn't work during an MoT, without charging me.

Below the lines you can see my initial review. However, I submitted this review prematurely as a few weeks later I was able to speak to the right people at Drive In. My problem was rectified to 100% satisfaction. I have changed my review score to match this. The issue was understood and unnecessary costs for work that was carried out was refunded to me. Cath was very friendly and helpful. It proves that from the top the company is insistent on providing excellent customer service, which although initially may have been missed, was ultimately given to me.
