My car went for a repair and they told me it would take approx 5 working days. Bang on 5 days later the car was delivered back. The work is first class and the car was created inside and out which I was not expecting. The service was always very polite and swift even in this Covid-19 world we live in currently. I hope the team stay safe and well and continue to deliver outstanding work from the Coventry site.

written by Sazcasey on 26/03/2020

I had read some reviews on another site and to be honest I wasn't holding much hope, My insurance had my car picked up by nationwide following a rta, i was contacted by nationwide to inform me that they was picking my car up from the recovery place the following day, then another call once they had picked it up and informing me they would call once it’s been looked at, which again they did and explained what they was going to be doing and what parts was needed etc, there was an issue with a part being on back order but I was kept up to date with that, yesterday I had my car back. Same amount of fuel that was in when it left was in when returned, all items in the boot was in the boot on return, and I really cannot fault the work at all..... I would recommend these in a heart beat.

“Cracking through Job”

★★★★★

written by MrChunky on 18/03/2020

I was involved in a RTC and my car had damage to the O/S rear wheel damage to the suspension links and the wheel. The car was just driveable and I notified the insurance company when I got home they took all the details over the phone and said I would be contacted by Nationwide and Enterprise car hire. Nationwide contacted me very quickly and arranged to pick the car up the following morning Thursday and said I would be contacted on Tuesday about the estimate. As soon as my car was picked up enterprise contacted me again to say to come and pick the higher car up. Nationwide contacted me Tuesday with details of the damage parts to the car and an estimated completion. Unfortunately one of the OEM parts was on backorder both here in the UK and Germany. (this was genuine as I enquired with a friend of mine in the business) As soon as the car was finished they notified me I could pick it up any time, they have an agreement with the higher company so I went down in the higher car left it there picked mine up and drove home one happy bunny. Thanks to the young ladies in the office who kept me updated as to how the work was progressing. Highly recommend them to anyone.

“Amazing car repair work. Super impressed with their...”

★★★★★

written by CollG on 13/03/2020

From start to finish they have offered brilliant service. My car unfortunately was reversed into whilst my car was parked up on the roadside. The whole of the wing on the near side was damaged and the alloy wheel too. It needed quite a bit of work doing to it. It did take longer than I realised it would but now I have seen the results I can totally see why. They have done so much to it and it looks truly amazing, the team that work in the garage are very talented. It is like a brand new car again. All the staff have been so helpful and friendly. And they are always on hand to answer any queries. The only downside was for some reason as the accident was not my fault, they could not offer me a hire car. But that was sorted through enterprise after speaking with my insurance. Unfortunately they did accidentally sracth the car on repair which is easily done given the amount of work they have to do. And they were so helpful in getting it fixed again. They just took the car back to the garage at a time which was convenient for me and brought it back to me. Honestly cannot thank them enough for making a stressful time a lot easier. Top job. Thanks so much.

“AVOID AT ALL COSTS”

★☆☆☆☆

written by kevinm5513 on 26/02/2020

My insurance company MoreThan use Nationwide accident repairs when my car was in an accident and required bodywork repairs. They were obliged to supply me with a courtesy car within 8 hours of incident reporting, The incident happened Tuesday 15:30 and was reported at this time I took the Wednesday off work and waited all day but no courtesy car arrived. I phoned them 8 times to be hung up on, passed from pillar to post. They would say yes we have arranged this just to get me off the line. Absolute waste of time. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY I will have to taxi to work as I have a disability so cannot use public transport. I will claim my insurance company and hope they retrieve the costs from this horrific company. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

“Amazing Service! ”

★★★★★

written by on 21/02/2020

After being in an accident, my car was to be picked up and taken to Forfar. My job was passed to the Perth branch as they could get it in quicker. Already a big tick! It was picked up the day after my accident without any problems, I was advised at the time that when that car is ready it could be dropped off at the rental company for ease. I received a phone call explaining the damage and what was to be done then a timescale. I was kept up to date with the progress via text, the car was ready when they said it would be and they dropped it off at the hire company, where they met me and asked me to check the car over. Any fuel used was put back in the tank - I did not expect this and thought is was one of those wee added touches. Absolute 1st rate service and would not hesitate to recommend!

All branches operate under the same ownership, it would not make any difference which branch you go to. They use cheap copy parts and are not equivalent to genuine parts for the price I was charged to restore my car from nationwide I could have had my car repaired with genuine parts. They just fixed one side of my bumper rather than taking the bumper off and fixing it back onto both bumper brackets, one side of my bumper looks out of place, absolutely awful service and they refused to fully fix my bumper, they ripped me off!

We would just like to clarify the following: When authorised to do so by the customer's insurance company, we will use OEM parts. In accordance with our agreements with insurance companies, we will, where possible, repair rather than replace. However, if the finished repair is not expected to be to our normal high standards then we will request authorisation to replace any necessary parts.

It will depend on your Insurance Company and their policy as to whether genuine or non genuine parts are used. As regards repairing or replacing the dent in your wheel arch - this will depend on the amount of damage. We would normally prefer to repair rather than replace as we get tend to get a better overall finish, however, if a replacement body panel is required then of course we will replace it rather than repair. I hope this information helps!

Does anyone know what the warranty procedure is for repairs done by my local branch of Nationwide? My wife and I have been trying (over several visits) to get the local branch to check why my air-conditioning - which was repaired by them - is not working anymore. It is within the 1 year warranty, and we feel that our issue is not being looked into at all. I've now gone to the local Toyota dealer, spent about £60, and they have checked and said the problem is with the same pipe that Nationwide was supposed to have fixed. Needless to say, we are not happy with the service from the local branch of Nationwide. I was just with them about 20 minutes ago, and they have asked me to provide the report that Toyota dealer has provided, and they would contact them directly. Not sure exactly why. I would have thought the normal warranty procedure would be for Nationwide to check where the leak is and if it's the same pipes then they would simply fix the problem. We look forward to your reply. Thanks.

Can you please let me know which centre you are dealing with so I can look into the matter? We provide a warranty on all our repairs and so if the pipe which we fitted has now failed due to a fault with the pipe or the fitting, we will of course replace it. However, we will need to ascertain what exactly is wrong and the cause of the failure. From the information you have provided, my guess is that the person you spoke to at the repair centre felt it would be sensible to speak to the Toyota garage seeing as they have already inspected your vehicle. However, until I know which centre you are dealing with I can only assume this is the case. Please rest assured we will do all we can to help you get this matter resolved. If you can provide the centre details that will help me to find out more information, thank you.
