Reviews

4.5

Westlec Auto Electrical Services Ltd is often praised for friendly, knowledgeable staff, quick turnarounds and tackling difficult electrical faults that other garages have struggled with. Reviews commonly mention air conditioning, alternators, wiring, warning lights, dash cams and fault-finding, with several customers valuing clear communication and reasonable prices compared with dealers. A small number of reviews raise concerns about diagnostic accuracy, A/C repairs, charges and communication, so experiences can vary on more complex jobs.

Avoid Westlec for A/C repairs and go to a specialist instead! I wasted £210 here on a regas that failed within 2 - 4 weeks. When I took it back, they failed to find the leak, charged another £80 for a nitrogen test, and recommended a 'seal and protect' chemical for a staggering £130 (which a true specialist later confirmed wouldn't even work where the leak was located). To top it off, communication was poor. They ignored 6 out of 8 calls, forcing me to drive down just to book the car in. Save your money and go straight to an independent A/C specialist who actually has the proper detection equipment and expertise - they found my leak in under 5 minutes. Pros: Good people who don't rush you and are happy to explain issues, work involved etc. Cons: Suggested regas as first option instead of doing the leak test first; No tools / sensors to detect Nitrogen leak during a pressure test; Wrong fix / next steps; Overpriced A/C sealing agent (£20-£45 vs £128.50) potentially masking the regas cost.

WESTLEC charge about £120 for diagnostic check. V.W. Golf Mk 7 Airbag warning light: They got rid of it, but the very Next day warning light came back, I took it back to them but they couldn't fix it AT ALL saying the fault was a module not in my car? Thats 2 days wasted! So then I had to pay the Volkswagen main dealers to do the job anyway AND pay THEM for another PROPER diagnostic check! At least V.W. identify and order the faulty module in rather than say it doesn't exist!!! so for V.W. snags I 'd say bite the bullet and pay V.W. their extortionate fees, V.W. charge over £160 for diagnostic check BUT PAY THE EXTRA £40 or your wasting money. Basically I've ended up paying for diagnostics twice! so I can't recommend WESTLEC, despite their best efforts. Really nice staff and workshop etc, but they're not up to speed with EVEN A 64 PLATE GOLF ISSUE, THATS OVER TEN YEARS OLD! So I think they definitely need more modern diagnostic test kit, or should offer a 'no fix, no charge' policy. No offence guys and i do appreciate your best efforts but always leave factual reviews.

Getting it right first time is ideal. That said, coming a very close second to that is “ fixing a glitch quickly and efficiently”. That was my experience hence still 5 stars.
