I have used this company twice recently, an emergency tyre on a Beetle and an emergency (unusual) battery on a classic Golf. Both times they have been excellent. Very helpful, professional and friendly staff. Highly recommend .

We highly recommend DCM! We travel over an hour to use their services because the team is always so friendly, supportive, and professional. They clearly explain any work needed without pressuring us—always prioritising the safety of our vehicle. Their online system is fantastic, offering a clear breakdown and photos of their findings, which really helps us feel informed and confident. When we couldn’t make it during business hours to collect our car, they kindly arranged a secure lock box system so we could pick it up at our convenience. Thank you so much, DCM!
