Keep off. Slow, dishonest and mediocre

Service

I am sorry I cannot give a lower rating. Mediocre, slow and dishonest. Last June, I took my car to them, after I had an accident. The front bumper had to be replaced and the car needed spraying on the front and rear door on the passenger's side. The agreed price was 970 GBP, after deciding to replace, with a non original front bumper. It took more than a month to get the car back and every time, the excuse, was excessive workload. Two weeks, after getting the car back, I noticed, that the inner cover of the bumper, was wearing off. I sent a video and photos, querying why this was happening. After numerous calls, I managed to have him review my car in October 2021. All he said, was that the problem was due to the fact, the bumper was NOT the authentic one, so, it was not laying perfectly . The solution he found, was to use some glue and reassure me , that this would be the end of it. I had to leave the U.K for approximately 6 months by the end of 2021 and came back in June 2022. When I started driving the car again, I began noticing a friction noise, almost every time, I would make a sharp turn. I had it looked by another mechanic and I found out, that all they did, was use a hammer to flatten the area that was affected by the crash.The bumper would not fit, because they made a low quality job (actually the word is another one, but you get the concept) Even the spraying was low quality ( you can actually see shadowing on the sprayed side) but, at the time I was happy just to have my car back. I found out, that I need to pay another 500GBP, in order to fix this guy's mess up ( the more appropriate word, would still be a different one). I am totally frustrated, annoyed, disappointed and unhappy with my choice and the outcome. I am attaching photos of the findings as well as the invoice which is another joke. Well I guess joke's on me, having to pay a mechanic, in order to do what this body shop, was supposed to have done. Friendly advice. If you had anything to do with them, get your car checked by another mechanic.You might discover some really unpleasant surprises.
