French Diagnostic Services Telford

From: gareth and jeff lloyd

Comment: we brought our citroen pluriel with its broken roof from chesterfield derbyshire because our local garages could not fix it, the main dealers wanted to put on a new roof at the cost of £4000+, FDS fixed our roof for a fraction of the cost, at all times they kept us informed and were extremely efficient and courteous, i would certainly use them again and would recommend them to everyone thanks so much jeff and gareth

From: Rekha

From: Jane - Guernsey,CI

Comment: Unable to open the boot on my Citroen Pluriel. The garage said it would cost nearly £200.00 to sort. So glad I decided to ask FDS. Spoke to Sean who was really helpful and instructed me over the phone on what to do ... and it worked!! Thank you so much. Highly recommend FDS to anyone with Citroen problems!!

From: Dan & Ann-Marie

From: Simon hopkins

Comment: Was recommended to try Fds by a friend when my girlfriend had a blower problem on her c3 , found Sean and lads very helpful and soon had the problem fixed very quickly and for a fraction of what we were expecting ,have since had him fix the nitemare to fit headlight bulbs he again sorted it very quick and very reasonably . Can thoroughly recommend them

Comment: Recomended by their neighbour Dave Newell Dave Newell - Leisure Vehicle Services ( http://www.davenewell.co.uk/ ) as someone who could install a Helicoil in a glowplug thread on my VW 2.5l T4 Transporter I called Sean at FDS. No bul***t, he'd never done one of these but couldn't see why it should be difficult, can you bring it up or shall I collect it he queried. The vehicle was delivered by me and left for Sean to examine. A Helicoil that he hadn't got in stock was required and duly ordered, the job completed vehicle ready for collection. Yes it took a week but some of which was waiting for a tool and some more whilst special adaptors were made to reach the depth of the thread in the cylinder head. The job seems sucessful and the price was very reasonable. Another satisfied customer.

From: Neil Sprint

Comment: As a self-employed courier I need my van repaired and back on the road as quickly as possible. Sean really knows his stuff about my van and has never let me down. Always an excellent service and not expensive.

From: Gordon Tranter

Comment: Very Happy With The Service I Received Would Highly Recommend To Other Customers would use this service again in the future and also have a very quick service thanks Shaun !

From: Sue

Comment: Superb is an understatement!!!!! Sean did all the work colledcting and delivering my car, fixed my exhaust cover for free (it had become loose and drove him nuts whilst driving my car!!) Every aspect was simple and straightforward led by a very passionate Sean. I will not be going anywhere else, this is the first time I've enjoyed the experiene of having my car fixed!! Thanks from both me and my husband

From: Jim Dunlop

Comment: Thanks to FDS for what has to be the best garage experience I have had lately. I happened upon their sign at the side of the road at Tweedale and dropped in for some advice about an acceleration problem on my 206 diesel. Being pleased with the advice I received I decided to leave my car for a diagnosis. End result - within a short space of time my 206 is fully repaired at a very reasonable cost. Any future problems with my 206? I know exactly where to take it to... FDS. Thanks for your great service! Jim

From: Tony R

Comment: Just like it says on the tin (paragraph one of the mission statement). From a first visit, they had our 406 up and running within two hours. I entirely agree with comments about the friendly and courteous service. We may have found our garage of first resort. Thanks for the silky engine noise.

From: Mr Black

Comment: My Xantia was starting to feel like a bouncy castle and after a call and visit to Sean @ FDS it's now back to being a very smooth and comfy ride. Sean knows his stuff and was able to resolve the problem quickly, cheaply and with great customer service. I will certainly be returning when my car needs anything.

From: Alan Hinett

Comment: Posted 12th August 2011 About a month ago my car sailed through an MOT, even though it had a knackered lower ball joint (which is worrying) and in the last week my Peugeot 607 chose to develop a misfire. In the past whenever I’ve taken my car to a garage, the feeling which develops, I guess, must be similar to that of which a Turkey might feel just before Christmas, “I wonder how much this is gonna hurt” and in the main it always has done. “Well sir this cost that, and that cost this, so if you could sign over your house to us, we’ll call it quits” But let me tell you, today had a very refreshing experience. By luck I managed to find on the internet French Diagnostics Service (FDS) in Telford. From the start, there was no crap; just a very straight forward routine discussed which inevitably resulted in the car being fixed at what I genuinely think to have been at a very reasonable price. Like us all, you have probably felt to have been fleeced by someone in the past. Could have been the bloke who fitted your new Digital Aerial, fixed your Washing Machine or in fact your car. Well hand on heart I do not have that feeling having now dealt with FDS, as the saying goes ‘they do what it say’s on the tin’. If your motor is in need of expert help speak to these guys first, they do know what they are talking about and when you get the bill, well I’m sure, you will not feel like the preverbal sheep (fleeced) It really is a breath of fresh air to find firms like this do exist.

Comment: I took my Audi around to FDS at short notice as I had taken it to a main dealer for a aircon re-gas and service. Unfortunately the main dealer (Not Audi by the way) seemingly did not bother with the service bit and it was still leaking in to the car. I had heard about Sean so thought I would give him a try... To say I was impressed with Sean's knowledge, enthusiastic attitude, and customer service would be the understatement of the millenium. He really knows what he is talking about and explains the problem very clearly. He is extremely friendly and obliging.... I would highly recommend French diagnostic services to anyone. The Price was extremely reasonable. Absolutely fantastic!!!

From: Martin Hopley

Comment: Brilliant! I took my Peugeot 407 to Sean for some work, and what can I say very nice guy. Work was done to a high standard with as little disruption to me as possible. Would recommend anytime.

From: Lee

Comment: I found these when I was having problems with my car losing power about a year ago,now when anything go\'s wrong like yesterday the Exhaust dropping off they are my first call. Oh and I am back on the road today with my exhaust intact. Thanks Sean would recommend you anytime. 5***** service, friendly and resonable rates. Thanks a bunch Lee and her 307cc :-)

From: Nick

Comment: FDS were brilliant. The AA mis-diagnosed the problem on my VW Golf resulting in me having to take leave from work. I was recommended to call Sean. Within 5 minutes of seeing my car the fault was identified and a replacement part was fitted and hey presto, car is fine! V Happy

From: Chris C

Comment: fantastic service, my clutch went on my 206 and i needed the car back the following morning, these guys did great and were a joy to deal with. thoroughly recommended, i wouldn't hesitate to use again

From: Steph Howells

Comment: Great service personal and friendly, my little Clio sounds much happier now. Thanks

From: Matthew Insull

Comment: My 206 was delivered to Sean with the engine in bits after it had been wrongly diagnosed that i needed a new engine. Sean re built my engine to a very high standard and now the car runs like new. He also clearly explained how the previous garage had wrecked my engine and assisted me in getting compensation back from them- something that he went out of his way to help me with. I can't praise Sean highly enough for the way he goes about his work. At every stage he'd explain what was required and why it was needed, nothing is ever to much trouble. He deserves every bit of praise going and it is refreshing that there is still genuine people like him in the motor trade. I won't be going anywhere else in future.

From: Mrs Sue Duffill

Comment: Came across FDS by Chance and Wow what a fantastic guy Sean is! He is trustworthy, friendly and does not belittle you just because you are a woman,I cannot praise him enough.He sort out my Son's Saxo in record time and at a great price. Will be going to him all the time now and telling friens, highly recommended!!! =) Thankyou Sean

From: Laura Freeman

Comment: After being assisted to find the place which was very relieving for someone who can't find her way out of a paper bag, I enjoyed an economic, fast friendly service. I was given some free advice also on a different problem the car had. Top work lads!

From: Jill

Comment: Just used FDS for the first time. Sean replaced the cam belt on my motorhome for a very reasonable price. He is very friendly and enthusiastic and I would definately recommend him.

From: Jamie Whitham

Comment: Great work done and very accommodating, staying open after closing while i was towed in. Then got my car back and running next day. Will definately use again.

From: Paul L

Comment: Absolutely brill, Sean is a really nice bloke, sorted problem out and fixed within 24 hours at excellent price,would certainly recommend to anyone with citroen or peugeot & will certainly be back with my C4 should it need anything, cheers :)

From: Paul H

Comment: Saun really did save my easter! My suspension on my C5 stopped working and fell flat, another garage said they wouldn't even look at it and I should go direct to main dealer ( i don't think so) Saun took under 1 hour to diagnose and then repair the fault- a broken wire. I will definitly be returning in the future!

From: Tim Walford

Comment: thanks sean for the work you did on my Seat window regulator a job well done at a reasanable price really got me out of a fix once again many thanks highly recomended

From: Mr Walton

Comment: Sean went out of his way to hunt down a tricky part for my 206, a friendly chap with a real enthusiasm for his craft. I will certainly be a repeat customer!

From: Mark

Comment: Puegeot 407 : Fantastic service,really nice bloke. Shall definately recommend and use again. Thank you.

From: Amanda

Comment: I have always known Shaun to be, honest, trustworthy & reliable!! The most annoying thing on earth are to me big headed, arrogant, self assured car sales men & mechanics. As Sean very obviously has fantastic people skills, your back is not instantly up thinking to yourself 'here we go again'!!! Shaun always travels the 'extra mile' to help you out. As for his mechanical skills.....well he puts most others to shame to be quite frank, thing is he does'nt just talk the talk, but he walks the walk!!!! I have recommended him to my friends, especially other women. As you can be sure he will make you understand the problems, and give you a great price. Thank the heavens above :-D

From: Jan Howse

Comment: Thank you so much Sean for repairing my Ford Focus. Quick and excellent service not only for Citroen & Peugeot, he certanly as first class knowledge on any make. good prices too, brilliant customer service, he even washed and made my car look like new. Will certanly be recomending FDS. I will use FDS and Sean again for all my repairs and mot. Thank you once again.

From: Mr Dixon-Walker

Comment: I would like to give a huge thank you to FDS for their superb service and aftercare...They soon had my unhappy C3 back on the road in no time. if you want great service and expert knowledge then look no further!

From: Sam Jewkes

Comment: I brought my Citroen C3 Pluriel a few weeks ago knowing that the roof didn't work. After a bit of internet research I was worried at the cost it was going to cost to fix. I found FDS through Google. I brought the car in for a consultation and was told in simple English the problem, cause and estimated cost. The next week the car was in for repair over 2 days. I was kept up-to-date and consulted on the repair via phone. I have the car back in full working order and it is perfect. The cost was 10 times less than quoted on other sites. I will definitely use FDS for any future repairs :)

From: Martin Durham

Comment: Thanks Sean for great service and great price. Sorted out a problem that a citroen garage had charged me a fortune for and done nothing

From: Jos Oswald

Comment: Excellent and reliable/quality service! I have just had the cam shaft belt renewed on my 2.8JTD Fiat based motorhome. Sean quoted a very competitive sum for the work. At the same time he was happy to replace the other belts at the cost of the parts. When a bolt on the camshaft refused to budge (so he could not finish in the 4 hours quoted) he came up with a plan and sorted it out most effectively. At all times Sean kept me informed as to progress. I am so happy to have found FDS. This is a real gem of a business with the skill to do mechanical repairs at extremely competitive rates. The vehicle was even given an external valet - brilliant!

From: Ian

Comment: Peugeot main dealer quoted me £800 to fix my car, Sean fixed it same day for less than £100! Far better service than main dealer, and a fraction of the price! RING HIM BEFORE YOU RING ANYBODY ELSE!

From: Gordon Brown

Comment: A big thank you to Shaun for his kind and prompt service. Having had trouble with my vw transporter and my toyota nothing was to much trouble,every problem i gave him he came up with the solution. A BIG THANK YOU

From: Bob Chalkley

Comment: Once again Sean gave excellent service and dignosed the oil leak from the intercooler,he fitted the replacement from Northern Radiators who had a genuine OEM part cheaper than anyone.He also changed rear seat backrest lock with one from a C5 he was breaking.I would recommend his servicing to everyone with a French car.

From: Elliott

Comment: Recently had a series of problems with a citroen saxo which i brought, lookily had a family friend who knew about FDS and advised me to have the work on my car done here. What can i say? im one very happy chappy! All the work was done quickly, to a very high standard and was very well priced. My car will definatly be coming here in the future!

From: Dave Manning

Comment: Excellent service from someone who knows what they're on about. Will recommend and use again.

From: Rob

Comment: I’m so happy I found Sean and the French Diagnostic Services, he diagnosed my problem over the phone (even with my crap description) when others had failed. Sean is a down to earth, friendly guy who knows Citroens inside out and lives in the real world. He fitted my car in to suit me, fixed my problem and a couple of little things he spotted at no extra charge, at a very reasonable price. I will be using and recommending FDS to anybody with a Citroen or Peugeot Thanks Sean

From: Bob Chalkley

Comment: Problems instantly diagnosed on my Citroen C5. In particular the crank pulley antivibration assembly,which could have caused !major! problems if left unattended.The noise it made was highlighted when the steering wheel movement increased the noise due to the added strain on the crank pulley,if the metal coil comes out of the pulley,it could shred the timing belt. I would recommend this French car specialist to any Citroen/Peugot/Renault user who needs impartial advice or servicing.

From: Steve Bithell

Comment: Great service with a great price. Sean knows his stuff and is a friendly knowledgeable mechanic. I will be recommending FDS to anyone with a Peugeot or citroen. Definitely use them again.

From: Kim

Comment: I can't praise FDS enough. Recommended through a friend now I won't go anywhere else, I'm a decicated customer! Sean is friendly, honest and won't blind you with science, just tell you what's wrong, how much it'll cost. A real diamond, would highly recommend

From: mark cooper

Comment: Shaun, totally right mate, i'm driving a different Xantia since you sorted the front spheres. good to know there's a specialist in the area you isn;t going to try and rip anyone off. any problems and i'll be heading straight there for an honest service.

From: Ian

Comment: I'd recommend FDS to anyone with a Peugeot. Sean took my SORN'ed 306 and turned it back into a road legal car in a few hours, and at very short notice too. He knows his stuff, and is incredibly obliging. I'll definitely be using FDS again.

From: Carla

Comment: Excellent service, a complete life saver Sean did everything he could to ensure my car passed its mot. And believe me that was a lot, and he didn't even complain or get frustrated with me ringing every 5 mins! Outstanding job and excellent price,have recommended to almost everyone i know. Will definitely be taking my car there again. ;0)

From: Matt Alexander

Comment: Sean at fds was a life saver when my exhaust fell off, got me back on the road the next day and all for a very reasonable price. Would definitely recommend if you want a friendly, reliable fast service from someone who knows what they're talking about.

From: Andrew Chalkley

Comment: At last, someone in the garage business with enthusiasm, time and a non-patronising tone who can explain and deliver! Advice I received was excellent, a genuine depth of knowledge without the 'all too common' belittling attitude of many garages. Would highly recommend and for sure we will placing more business here in future. A rare find!
