The staff at John Darke Ltd are always pleasant and helpful. The service was done in good time, and I was sent a link to a video of the car inspection. A damaged tyre was found, which I had not noticed. I was sent quotes for a replacement tyre, and the one I chose was fitted the same day

Post service issues were rectified the next day very quickly with an ongoing investigation into a fault that has yet to be fully diagnosed. Excellent customer service from the service team.

I can’t recommend John Darke enough! From start to finish, their service is absolutely fantastic. The whole team is not only highly professional but also kind, caring, and genuinely customer-focused. They go above and beyond to make sure everything is explained clearly and done to the highest standard. It’s rare to find a company that combines excellent technical service with such warmth and compassion. Truly superb — thank you, John Darke!
