AI Review Summary Based on 103 reviews

Overall customer experience with Prontocare is highly polarized, with a clear divide between extremely satisfied and deeply dissatisfied clients. Many customers praise the efficient, professional, and friendly service, highlighting quick repairs and excellent communication from staff like Rhys, Shaun, and Rob. The quality of repair work is frequently described as 'amazing,' 'perfect,' or 'like new,' with cars often returned valeted. However, a significant portion of customers report severe issues, including extremely long repair times (weeks to months), poor communication, unmet deadlines, and unresponsive staff. The courtesy car service is noted as a positive, but its availability and condition are sometimes criticized. The returns process is generally smooth for satisfied customers, but others report incomplete work, additional damage, or administrative problems like MOT issues. Product quality, referring to the repair itself, receives high marks for finish but is condemned by others for being 'botched' or causing new faults. Overall satisfaction is thus bifurcated: a large group is very happy and would recommend, while another group is furious and advises avoidance.

What customers love
  • Courtesy car provision and convenient collection/delivery
Common concerns
  • Extensively long repair times and delays
  • Problems with courtesy cars (availability, condition)
  • Administrative and post-repair issues (e.g., MOT,

Changed my mind after becoming suspicious due to dubious service and coming here

I haven t taken my car for repair here yet I became concerned after what appeared to be a total lack of communication between them and my insurer phone calls to them are met with a message You are number one in the queue then mostly get hung up as it s not answered only managed to get through twice in about 12 times then when I tried to arrange the repair they told me they d need the car about 10 days to replace the mirror and indicator parts of the wing mirror which is less than an hours work more like 15 minutes the mirror clips out and three screws allow changing the indicator then they were supposed to call me back next day but took 3 days on my last call the guy could hardly speak English this is when I decided to come here and look at reviews as all these things made me suspect that this place was not very good and boy am I glad I did I ve decided to do it myself got parts sourced at 28 if this was done by my main dealer I could have taken it down and waited an hour and drove it home Even body work and spraying have only take 2-3 days at other places I ll be calling my insurer to tell them to forget it I m doing it myself and I won t be using them again probably go back to my previous insurers a little more expensive but far better

I recently had my motorhome in for

I recently had my motorhome in for repairs and experienced a lack of communication from the service center Despite my repeated attempts to contact them for information they provided excuses and failed to keep me updated on the progress After approximately three months they informed me that they were unable to locate the necessary part and abruptly ended the conversation I would advise against using their services due to the unprofessional and unsatisfactory manner in which they handled my repair

Steer benton

Steer benton Absolutely would not recommend this garage at all Put my car in from an insurance claim as one of the insurances recommended garages Start to finish is an utter joke First off tell me cars ready so go to collect it And they ve botched jobed my headlight not even sitting in flush gaps around where the plastics meet the headlight and u can clearly see where they ve tried glueing it in So refuse the car and they are going to sort it Less than 24 hours later receive an email to say cars completed Call the company and speak to the receptionist that confirms the cars ready for collection when I question what they ve done and replaced as it s less than 24 hours since they ve had the car back she is insistent that they got straight on the job but will get someone to ring me back with specifics someone calls me back to tell me cars not ready and they are busy working on it and that they didn t send no email nor did reception tell me it s complete when I argued this he got well I m not sure why they ve said that so they have as much communication as a chocolate fire guard Get another email 24 hours after this to say cars ready Go to collect the car and the plastics still haven t been replaced but spray painted black and this is aware because the scratches that were on the plastics are still there However the gaps are gone so because I just wanted my car back I accepted it as it s definitely better than first time Drove home in the light parked up Fast forward a couple hours and go to drive in the dark to realize they ve not refitted the light bulb in my car headlight they ve supposedly replaced Company is an absolute joke con artists and anything to cut corners to make a quick buck on insurance jobs I will be making a formal complaint aswel as a formal complaint to the insurance company about their choices of highly recommended garages

I don t think I ve ever met a company dreadful service

I don t think I ve ever met a company like this my car came in after a small accident I was never told how long it was going to take to repair the damage I had a holiday booked and they promised my car would be back for me to go away alas the day came and after 2 weeks my car hadn t been touched so delayed holiday for a week as promised it would be finished alas no car and still not repaired I ve now had 3 messages from you to say car finished when I find out it s not even been painted yet delayed holiday for another week to find out today car is no where near done and will be finished by Wednesday I asked to book a delivery spot for Thursday and was told as car not done yet they can t book it in I asked to speak to someone higher to complain and the phone was put down on me stay clear of this company 1 star is far to good for them

Extremely Disappointed

Pronto Long Eaton Car Garage Extremely DisappointedI m extremely disappointed with the service I received from Pronto in Long Eaton following a non-fault accident that required a simple door repair on my brand-new vehicle less than a month old What should have been a straightforward insurance repair turned into an absolute nightmare To begin with it took over two weeks just to repair a single door When the car was finally returned it was in worse condition than before the accident The repaired door made a crunching noise when opening which it never did even after the accident That alone was bad enough but it didn t stop there The car came back with scratches and marks on areas that were never involved in the accident There was primer overspray all over the interior including the bonnet because they clearly didn t take the time or care to mask the vehicle properly during painting This level of carelessness is completely unacceptable especially on a nearly new vehicle Due to their poor workmanship the car had to be sent back for a second repair You d expect better the second time around but no When they returned it again the car had barely any electric charge left even though they promised to recharge it It came back with a low battery warning and a red triangle leaving me stressed and scrambling to find a charger To top it off communication throughout the whole process was virtually non-existent No updates No explanations Just delays and poor-quality work Honestly I don t understand how insurers are still using this garage It feels like they re cutting corners to save money and customers like me are the ones paying the price Would not recommend to anyone If your insurer suggests Pronto I highly advise requesting a different repairer
