EXCELLENT Based on 17 reviews Posted on Robin WallaceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been having on going bother with my window washers for over a year now, two other garages couldn’t fix it. So I booked it in with Carl @ DLC. Carl was the only one to replace the jets. His first attempt failed but he took the car in again and fitted the new pump I supplied and finally got decent pressure. The lines were also full of gunk (see pic). Thanks to Carl for his patience and honesty when his first attempt failed.Posted on Livi LivingstoneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service by Carl. Quick, honest, and reasonably priced, highly recommend this garage!Posted on WeraajnaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service and attention to detail, always love coming back to get work done on my car :)Posted on Gary DixonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Carl was amazing. I phoned him as I urgently needed a coolant issue checked. He was available the next day to look at the car, confirmed there was still a leak, and managed to fit me in to get it repaired the same week. I genuinely can’t fault anything. He went above and beyond to correct the previous mechanic’s mistakes and made sure the car was sorted properly. I would highly recommend DLC Automotive to anyone looking for a reliable mechanic who really knows their stuff.

Went to DLC for my first MOT after reading great reviews. Carl messaged me only a couple hours later after dropping the car off, letting me know what had failed and priced up the cost of repairs. He repaired the car and retested all in the same day and I was able to collect that night. Great communication, amazing service and very reasonable price. Highly recommend!Posted on Andrew MitchellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a noise coming from the front of the car and Carl was able to fit me in quickly and get the issue diagnosed. Communication was great, even sent a full video showing the issue, which was the wheel bearing. Also advised that the brake pads and discs needed replaced which again was clearly pointed out in his video. Parts had to be sourced but I was kept upto date regularly. Once the part arrived the car was quickly fixed. Great communication , great service, would highly recommend DLC automotive.Posted on Dan AsanacheTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic experience with this garage. My car brake pipe burst and after being let down by a mobile mechanic i have contacted Carl and he was able to fit me next day. He has done an excellent job and the pricing was fair and resonable. I would highly recommend this garge to anyone.Posted on Gavin DowieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great experience with this garage from start to finish.
