Northern Accident Repair Halifax was excellent! They had my car ready on time and even cleaned both inside and outside my car to a showroom standard! My car looked brand new! They also let you know how your car is doing at every stage of the process! 5/5

Did a fantastic job by the looks of it but very expensive, when invoice was questioned I was told I would be sent a copy. Three weeks later and still nothing.

The team have only had my car for a few days and have worked their magic on the car in several areas. All the damage has been caused by other people which makes it so infuriating but they’ve really helped me get my car back into shape ready to sell on. Thanks to Jim and the team. You’re lifesavers!

My son had an accident and this is where the insurance company sent his car for the repairs. The customer service by Mari and I think Sophie was brilliant. They went above and beyond to help us. The repairs on his car were brilliant. Thank you.

Brilliant job on my car. I really can't tell that someone ever reversed into it. Lost the car for a week, which is about what they said it would be, and the repairs are fantastic. Thanks to everyone there, from the ladies on reception, to the bloke who did the estimate, to the lads who did the job. Thanks to all of you.
