Carl was recommended to me by a friend. I've always used main dealers for my services, but I can safely say that I'll be using DLC in future. The site is easy to find and Carl takes his time to explain the service to you. The turnaround time was much quicker than a main dealer and didn't come with any surprise charges or add-ons. Would highly recommend!!

I've used DLC Automotive Solutions Ltd a few times now and every time I receive an exceptional service from Carl. He explains everything clearly and always keeps me informed of what he's found wrong and how he'll fix it. Not always easy to find a garage service you can trust but I trust DLC and always recommend them to friends and family.

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.
