Darren Wood Limited

"I went here due to their outstanding reputation but was let down. They worked on my E46 which had a headlight error. Previous mechanics had tried changing the bulb which didn't work so I booked in with Darren Wood who are meant to be the best in the business. They didn't solve the problem, they just changed the xenon bulb like previous mechanics and claimed it was fixed. Within 1 hour the error light was back on. Even worse, it turns out they had broken the tab where the indicator light attached to the headlight. They then decided to silicone the indicator light back on and hide what they had damaged. The light fell out on the motorway, dangling by the wire connector and scratched all the corner of my bumper. I still don't understand how this is their level of service considering their good reviews. Went to another specialist in the end who diagnosed the problem as faulty ballasts and fixed it."

"So nice to take your car to someone you can trust to know what they're talking about and won't overcharge etc. After getting the initial recommendation I now travel quite far to use these guys, and every time I drop my car of I feel completely confident that it's in the best possible hands. This latest time my dashboard was lit up like a Christmas tree and I was prepared for a serious bill. It was quickly diagnosed to one relatively cheap faulty sensor and didn't cost the earth. Can't recommend them enough, if there were 6 stars I'd give them another one."

"Called them and got booked in for the next day, had to replace all brake discs and pads, dropped the car at 11am and it was ready by 1pm, very fast and reliable service. They’re BMW specialist (the real ones certified from BMW Manchester) so there is no doubt they did a great job with my 520d brakes, driving comfort was like a brand new car. Prices are really reasonable and accessible to almost anyone for the high quality job they do. They became my one and only choice as mechanics, won’t go anywhere else from now on!!"

"Really would recommend this place . I originally took my bmw 335d to another person who told me my car needed a brand new engine. I took it too darren woods and they did in 200 pound . I am absolutely over the moon. I would definitely recommend these guys . Thank you Mike and the rest. Very busy but worth the wait"

"Amazing service, really helpful in diagnosing problem before quoting. Totally reasonable prices and great customer service. Highly recommended for BMW drivers."
