Reviews of First Choice Accident Repair
C. G.
Amazing, friendly staff, Very vocal and understanding! Shame I couldn't get my car done there as it's a Matt grey colour so they had to direct me to a specialist and they will sort everything! Very helpful!
Would recommend

I am so pleased with the outstanding service that I received from Rob and the boys. I was so upset when my beloved campervan was damaged by another driver but the boys have done a tremendous job in restoring her - you would never know the damage that had been done!
Not only was the quality of work impeccable but the kindness, friendliness and sincerely given tips and advice were really genuine and very much appreciated.
Thank you so much Rob, I am very grateful. My campervan is like a baby to me - I literally love her and to see her so well cared for by everyone well, I can't tell you how much it meant to me.
I cannot recommend this garage highly enough!
Thanks again, lads!

Great job done on my car. Staff very friendly and helpful, particularly the 2 ladies on reception and the young man who came out and fitted a parking sensor in 5 mins, saving me the inconvenience of having to take a Kia Picanto home

Damage to my car from an accident. Took the car to First Choice from insurance recommendations and 3 working days to get the fixed and looking brand new. They even repaired some damage to the car that wasn’t involved in the accident as a good gesture.
From start to finish they’ve let me know everything along the way and done things very quickly.
Massive thanks to Andrew, Ali, Joe and Callum!

Professional outfit who know there business. A years guarantee on their work. They are not short of business so tend to put you in a queue. But the quality of their work is good.
M. S.
The team were professional and curious throughout the whole process from the receptionist to the damage accessor. The car came back looking like when I bought it and I even had a call to check I was happy with the service I had had. Thanks very much.

My car went in for body repairs lovely job, even gave it a valet .
J. U.
This was the company appointed to fix my car after the bodywork was damaged in accident. They have been professional throughout, the work is of a very high standard and they even cleaned my car inside and out for when I picked it up. Jade was a great help throughout, keeping in touch with me and organising the replacement of wheel nuts that had been stolen from my front wheel which the mechanics noted and pointed out to me when they picked my car up to take it to be fixed. Amazing service, would highly recommend.
T. W.
Excellent Service from start to finish, repair carried out to the highest standard and kept informed of the progress. I will definitely use First Choice accident Repair again if required. My 2011 Hyundai i30 is like new again. Many thanks to all involved.

After a lovely person deciding they didn’t like my car and taking a key along the whole side .... 1st choice have been awesome.... professional from start to finish. They managed to squeeze the car in and kept to promised timescale. Whole side of car was resprayed and it looks awesome and to make the service 5+* a full valet was undertaken so car came back on time top job and gleaming. Thanks guys Highly recommend 1st Choice Accident Repair.

My much valued old Jaguar needed some rusty metal cut out, replaced, and painted. They did this perfectly. They clearly cared about looking after the car, talked me through what was needed, went beyond when they felt they should to do the proper job, and got it back to me, looking fantastic, on time and on budget. The expertise and the service they showed just cannot be faulted. The whole team clearly love what they do, and are committed to doing it brilliantly. Excellent, in every way.

Following a parking scrape (not my fault!), within minutes of me reporting the claim to my insurers on a Friday, First Choice rang me to arrange an assessment of the damage the same day. We agreed they would collect my car from my home the following Tuesday and I collected the repaired car on the Thursday. I'm delighted with the quality of the repair, especially as the car has pearlescent paint which can be hard to match. Also First Choice kept me fully informed of progress and were completely professional at all times. They previously repaired my wife's car and the service they gave was to the same high standard. I definitely recommend giving them a call!
S. R.
Had a few issues initially in regards to getting the work on my car started. since voicing my concerns to the company the director has kept me in the loop in regards to process going forwards. Really appreciate the the extra mile he went through. Looking forward to seeing the work completed !
C. M.
After what I can only describe as a terrible accident and extremely shocking experience this Company looked after the "Green Goddess" with great care and attention to detail they did an awesome job bringing her back to life. Relay the car, not a problem! Nothing too much trouble for these people. She looks amazing, I would recommend this Company and its amazing staff. Value for money too! I honestly cannot recommend First Choice Accident Repairs highly enough. Job well done and my heartfelt Thanks to each and everyone of your staff for looking after her and me!

My car was damaged by someone reversing into it; smashing my tail light, breaking my bumper and damaging my wheel arch. My car was sent into 1st choice and I can happily say I’m so pleased, the car looks good as new, as if no damage ever occurred. They were completely professional and extremely kind, all the staff whom I spoke to were lovely & helped me through everything since this was the first time my car had been damaged. Once my car had gone in, it took only 5 days for it to get back to me- which I thought was brilliant. 1st choice picked up my car and returned it to me, moreover they fully cleaned the inside of my car and made sure it was COVID safe by cleaning it. I absolutely recommend 1st choice to anyone who is looking for a professional, kind and well organised business!
B. F.
I can not praise the company enough. The customer service is exceptional. They keep you up to date to what is happening with a text (eg ordered parts and would be received in 5-7 working days)
They did what they said they would and kept to the deadlines.
They are not a national company and this shows in their friendly manner and knowledge of the business The work they did on the car was exceptional. I would definitely recommend First Choice to repair your car.
D. F.
I was devastated when I crashed my audi Q5! 1st choice have repaired it to a very high standard you wouldnt know the difference. Such a professional and helpful company I would never go anywhere else!
Thanks Calum and team 5***

Absolutely amazing service had my car repaired here and the customer service is fantastic . Everyone is so friendly and really do go above and beyond to make sure they provide the very best service . My car looks fantastic so happy with it . Would highly recommend them .

After an accident, my LV car insurance arranged for my car to be removed from the road and brought straight here, and then for car hire from Enterprise opposite so I could get home. It was my first accident so I was in shock and unsure of the process but the staff were amazing and made me feel at ease. The car took a few weeks to repair but I was kept informed and the car eventually came back as good as new, and all my things were where I'd left them in the car. Hopefully I won't have to use their services again, but if I do, I know that it will be in good hands.

Excellent repair on my car after it was hit by a lorry. Everyone who I spoke to over the phone was really helpful and friendly. They picked my car up for the repairs. They kept it longer than anticipated but given the circumstances (Covid-19) I completely understood. They were very understanding when I had to phone and let them know I couldn’t pick my car up on the agreed date as I was at the hospital with my little girl. Thank you for your service
M. P.
An absolute pleasure to deal with. They repaired my car after it was stolen and had plenty of damage. They kept me up to date with the job and I collected the car today. Came back in showroom condition. I cannot praise First Choice enough.
E. C.
My car was well repaired plus covered some that was there already (my car was sprayed and slight bumps taken out). I would use these at any time. People were friendly
A. S.
Very happy customer. Would 100% recommend 1st Choice ARC.
Communication is A*. From texts, phone calls & online app - I could see the progress of my repair online.
All staff are very nice and friendly, especially Ali who was very helpful.
Very happy aswell with the courtesy car provided.
The work carried out on my car was perfect, my car is like new (also clean outside and inside).
Thank you very much. Highly recommended!
L. R.
Fantastic service from First Choice. The collection service and delivery service was great. I had constant updates from the team. Roll forward two months and I noticed a small issue. I called the office and they were straight on to it. Ali and the QC were really keen to make sure everything was sorted and went beyond that by polishing out a scratch that I had managed to put on the car. Talk about going above and beyond! Really friendly trustworthy service!
S. G.
Huge huge thank you to Gareth & Ali at 1st Choice garage!
I took my car in last Monday with damages caused by a third party and being dealt with by their insurance, these pair were so so helpful. Funny, kind & made what should be a stressful experience, so laid back and of ease for me!
So grateful for all their help this past week.
Had my car back after only 5 days, repairs were brilliant & they even cleaned my car inside and out for me!
Cannot fault the garage at all!
Thanks for everything!

Fantastic service. Took my car in after an accident on Wednesday and it was ready for pick up on the Monday. Very quick and very professional job done. Even sorted me out a courtesy car when my insurance company couldn’t. Thanks to all staff especially Ali for keeping me updated on the repair. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone.
T. R.
Took my car here to have some bodywork repaired. As they were recommended to me. I was not disappointed. They service was first class, From start to finish. I highly recommend this garage. Thanks again
C. D.
I have recently had my car repaired with First Choice and the service from start to finish was excellent. Ali was amazing so kind and helpful he went above and beyond, in helping arrange a courtesy car for myself as auxills let me down at the last minute. I was kept upto date throughout the whole process on what was happening with the repairs and the timescale of when my car would be ready to pick up. I have today picked my car up and I am delighted with the finished result my car is in immaculate condition. I would highly recommend First Choice to my friends and Family as my experience has been wonderful.
K. F.
Excellent service. Very friendly & professional works men. Took my car in after an accident & being referred by my insurance company. They took excellent care of my car, looked good as new when done. Courtesy car was given whilst mine was worked on. The valet service was the best I've ever had. Even managed to get the sticky mess out of the boot from an exploded tyre inflation kit. 5 star & would definitely recommend.
K. L.
Arranging & completing the repair to my car was simple & straightforward thanks to the amazing staff at 1st Choice. I've had an awful experience with a previous repair with an insurers choice of garage, but these guys were great, from start to finish. Highly recommend them 🤗
J. T.
Fantastic service, had some minor damage rectified through my insurer done here. Both passenger doors scratched and a dented front wing on 2018 mazda 3, with "snowflake white" pearlescent paint. Car was collected, repaired and valeted in 4 days. Staff are courteous, polite and friendly. Got a full printout of all work done with costs and got told the work has a 5 year warranty. Would recommend to everyone looking for accident repair work in South Wales
P. K. (.
Excellent service from 1st choice Repair centre. Ali was very accommodating through out the process, in fact he even pointed out something that I would have not noticed and got it repaired/touched up. Many thanks Ali. Would definitely recommend you 100%. Jason Evans also contributed towards the service. Just took it in for a minor issue this afternoon and not expected but the car came out cleaned again....Excellent service. Very happy with the service.
J. M.
I had a great service in terms of regular updates regarding my car which needed an estimate for insurance purposes.
Unfortunately the car was written off by the insurance company..When I collected personal belongings from the car a member of staff drove me home..thank you ...how kind!
I highly recommend!

The guys at 1st Choice recently did some work on my car. When I got home and washed my car I wasn't happy with a small area to where the work was carried out. I didn't even need to contact them because within a week of having my car back they gave me a courtesy call to see if I was happy with the work. I said ' I'm not really happy' explained the problems, they had the car back in and now its as good as new. Ali , Andrew and Rob were particularly helpful and apologetic. They are genuine car enthusiasts and I would definitely recommend them. Thanks guys.
B. M.
Andrew, Gareth and the team were very helpful and kept me informed throughout the process, as somebody who knows very little about cars this was reassuring. Very friendly team. My car came back looking brand new, both inside and out. Very happy with the service which I received!(Shame I had to give the courtesy car back however!) :)
H. M.
My car entered this garage in a very sorry state and I thought it was a write off. However they did a fantastic repair job and it was back like new. They constantly sent updates at every stage. Fantastic job Thanks
J. E.
What an amazing service from a great team!!
Reception were polite, friendly and up to speed on the stages of the vehicle an kept me up to date. The work was floorless couldn't even see where the damage was. An I also was given a complimentary valet on the vehicle. Superb!
J. K.
Absolutely over the moon with my bmw 1 series. Had back end damage and damage to my rear quarter. You can’t even tell it’s been repaired. As I love my bmw, I wasn’t sure it would be the same again But wow very impressed. Always updated and fast turnaround. Definitely go back to 1 choice again.
d. f.
Sorry for late review. Picked up car a few weeks ago. I was a bit hesitant about taking my car here after hearing/seeing a few bad things about this place but since learnt it’s under new ownership and new staff more than capable of doing the job. The team constantly update you on the progress of your vehicle and I Couldn’t be any happier with the service/repairs that were carried out following a non fault accident. Would totally recommend them to anyone.
S. W.
Collected my car today. Brilliant repair job. They only had my car for two days. Ali gave great customer service - helpful, polite and friendly. Sorted the whole experience out for me to a high level. Only issue I had was parking was tricky at times - not a lot of space.
P. F.
The reception manager was polite, helpful, honest and made very positive adaptions for the fact that I was deaf. Two minor issues were dealt with quickly, professionally and positively. The mechanics were equally impressive and car drove as if new. They even provided a refund due to a misunderstanding! Strongly recommended!
S. C.
Excellent service from the very first phone call right the way up to collection of our vehicle. The staff kept us informed about everything that was going on. All the staff were very helpful and polite and very welcoming. Thank you so much to Ali and all the staff at First Choice Accident Repair

Excellent customer service, really pleased with the repair; new bumper, boot sprayed and another panel polished as a kind gesture. Added bonus was the car had been cleaned inside and out and was sparkling. Would highly recommend! Many thanks.

As a busy Mum I was dreading getting my car repaired after my accident but 1st Choice were amazing, stress free, kept me informed & prompt with the repairs. Ali on the front desk was friendly, put at ease & was on hand if I had any questions. Without a doubt would highly recommend!!
K. H.
I popped in to see Sion about some scratches on my rear bumper. He was amazing from start to finish and was very helpful. He sorted out the problem quickly and the car looks good as new! I would highly recommend his company and will be taking my car back for any future work. Natalie
L. l.
I have been so impressed with this company and my car looks absolutely fantastic. They keep you updated by phone and text service and I wasn't waiting long for my car to be repaired. They also did a couple of extra bits of work that has made my car look new again...so impressed. Thanks guys.:o)
C. C.

I would definitely recommend this garage - Top Class !!
j. a.
Always use these guys, I wouldn't use anyone else, this is a proper company. Joe on reception is A1 from the time I dropped my car off till the time I picked my car up he always kept me up to date with what was happening. The work the boys produce is amazing my car came back like it had just came out of the factory!! I wouldn't go anywhere else 👍 Top jobs boys keep it up!! I would recommend 1st choice to anyone looking to get their car body work repaired
J. A.
Car was picked up first thing (8:30) on the day arranged by insurance company (Onecall) and hire vehicle ( supplied by Easidrive) arrived at 10:15. Cannot fault the quality of work, as no sign of the damage (dents in side panel and wheel arch). Garage (via Easidrive) kept me informed of a short delay in completion of work and contacted me direct when car was ready and what time it would be delivered.
Thank you very much for carrying out the work to a high standard, one satisfied customer.
T. W.
Brilliant experience, customer service with Ali was excellent very efficient and so helpful. Work done on my car is so good, would never know I had been in a crash. Will definitely use again.
B.
So I crashed my car the other day and first choice were recommended to me by a friend. They were professional, empathetic and understanding at all turns and I really felt so looked after. Sean went out of his way to even speak to my insurance company for me. An independent run business and really well staffed. Thanks for making the loss of my car really not so terrible.

1st Choice Accident Repair Centre was the repair garage my vehicle was referred to by my insurance company following a non-fault collision involving my Audi A4. My car has been fitted with genuine Audi parts, I have received a fully professional service, great communication throughout and provided with a brand new 18 plate courtesy car whilst my vehicle was off the road. They have turned the repair around and I am back on the road in a week! 5* service from Esure and 1st Choice!
S. P.
Excellent service. Work done looks fantastic. and the car was cleaned inside and out too.
Mostly dealt with Jade, on front desk and she was courteous, professional and friendly.
Definitely recommend
A. F.
Having dealt with this company on more than one occasion, I can honestly say that their customer service is nothing short of 5 star (hence the review). Nothing is too much trouble, they always deliver on their promises and the vehicle comes back like a brand new car inside and out. I have just returned from the US (Florida) where customer service is on another level and puts the UK to shame, generally. However, First Choice Accident Repair are right up there with them!
R. H.
Got to be the best Accident Repair Centre in Cardiff. Service from Start to Finish was fab, Repair carried out to my vehicle was faultless. Thankyou so Much Excellent Job. Will recommend to Family & Friends for sure. 😁
A. S.
We recently, took my wife’s car to the 1st Choice garage in Cardiff to have her car assessed for damage because a woman had reversed her car into the front of my wife’s car, while my wife’s car was parked. A gentleman by the name of Sion assessed my wife’s car for damage. During the assessment Sion explained and shown us the amount damage, which was done to the front and inside of my wife’s car. So, my wife contacted her insurance company to explain that she had taken her car to be assessed for damage at 1st Choice garage.
The 1st Choice garage staff were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. They offered my wife a courtesy car. But my wife declined because the family were able to take my wife to and from work. Sion was very courteous and professional throughout the whole process and kept my wife informed.
They even arranged to collect my wife’s car and returned her car when it was repaired. We would strongly recommend the 1st Choice garage to anybody. They were courteous, helpful and professional and thorough, during the whole process. Please keep up the excellent work that you are all doing at the 1st Choice garage.
M. P.
My car was taken there after I was in an accident last Friday, Ali was the one who dealt with my case and was completely professional and comforting when I needed it. Unfortunately my car was written off but I know everyone who dealt with my car did the best they could so it could be repaired and I’m completely grateful for all the support I received from Ali and everyone at 1st Choice, hopefully I won’t be going there anytime soon with another dilemma with a car or a car accident but if I do I will be asking for Ali to deal with my car again and I know I’ll be in good hands if the circumstances happen again, Thankyou so much Ali and the 1st Choice Team 😊😊

First Choice Motors live up to their reputation of doing first class body repair work plus excellent communication and follow up with their customers.
I am really pleased with the fine finish of workmanship plus they did a great ‘Rectification’ job on my car.

I have to say, whilst the repair to my Jaguar took a long time, nearly 13 weeks in total, none of it was 1st Choice's fault, the standard of work is superb, infact in the 30 years I have been driving and had to use repair shops occasionally, I have never had a car back to the standard that this came back on Friday. Bearing in mind the extent of the repair, the car is perfect, you would never know it had work and it drives perfectly too, I had to drive nearly 200 miles today without incident, it never missed a beat .. I am so pleased
I can't recommend them highly enough or thank them enough for the standard and quality of the repair and will definitely use the again from a minor scuffs to full blown repair - although I hope that never happens again!!!
A. A.
We met by accident.....sadly, accidents do happen whether it's your fault or not. Fortunately for you, at first choice they offer a first class repair service and five star customer care. My car was returned to me in pre-accident condition.
By law you can choose who repairs your car, so it makes sense to talk to these guys first.
We met by accident,
They listened to me,
They repair with pride and empathy,
We part as friends.

I had an excellent experience with first choice accident repair centre. They did an excellent job and their customer service is superb, they even sent very helpful texts to update me at each stage of the process. The staff were very helpful and I can’t recommend these guys enough.
A. R.
Just had my car repaired by this company. Excellent professional service throughout. Cant recommended enough and would definitely use this company again.

I read a horrible review about 1st choive but still went with them because I didn't want 1 review putting me off. The 2 girls at the reception were lovely and giggly and made one feel relaxed. They kept me informed and when I picked my car up it was cleaner than it was when I dropped it off.
Weldone y'all. Xx

I was sent to First Choice Accident repair centre following a non-fault accident. I had used the garage previously so was confident that works would be done quickly but of a good standard. However, when they took the car apart they found previous poor repairs behind the bumper. As a result, my insurance company would not approve for the work to be completed and issued a cash payment as an alternative. I felt incredibly upset as the only repairs done to that part of the car we’re done over 5 years previously by Lookers garage in Cardiff approved by Admiral (again in a non-fault accident) Unbeknown to me, the headlight and bumper was secured together with CABLE TIES!! Yes, Cable ties!! As soon as I was notified, I went straight to the garage as I wanted to see for myself.
I contacted Admiral (who was my insurance company at the time) and Auxillis who appproved the works as Lookers in Cardiff have closed down. I also contacted Lookers in England to try to track down the engineer who had approved the works. I received no reply. To cut a long story short, they disputed that the repairs were not done by them and implied that I had repairs done to the car myself, which is not true. They refused to send out an engineer to inspect the work and personally I cannot believe that with their reputation at stake, I couldn’t understand why they refused to go out and not look at the car themselves. I sent them pictures but again they refused to accept liability. Admiral were useless and kept passing the blame to Auxillis. Auxillis were even worse and passed the blame to Lookers garage. I received no correspondence from Lookers.
I also felt let down by current insurance provider essure, who took the easy way out by providing a cheque instead of doing the right thing and fighting and investigating previous garage. While washing their hands with me and my case, they stand there dismissing poor works. If we all did that in the world then nothing would change. With their status they had weighting and power to support me as a customer to rectify the issues but furthermore insurance that this never happened again.
Shaun at First choice accident repair, who is one of the owners, was amazing. He believed that I was telling the truth and went over and above his call of duty to try and contact Lookers in an attempt to get them to assess the situation. Unfortunately they refused to come out and view the poor disrepairs and I was forced to have to pay for the works to be completed. Shaun and his team provided constant reassurance and did a lovely job in repairing my car. He even, at his loss, reduced the price of parts and labour so that I could afford to pay for the repairs. Something I will eternally be grateful for.
It has been the worst experience of my life, knowing that I have been driving around with the front of my car being held together with cable ties and I was none of the wiser. Naturally as a result of finding this out, I was anxious about the repairs being done and was worried I was going to ripped off or treated like a mug but I have to say first choice accident repair were incredible and whilst I hope I don’t have to use their services again (in a nice way) if I ever needed to, I know 100% that they would do all they could to do a good job!

Had an accident that was not my fault. My car was repaired quickly, fully valeted and I'd forgotten to tell them that since the knock to my car the horn wasn't working but that was fixed anyway. Good administration too. Couldn't fault them during this experience.
P. H.
