Pallas Auto Anmeldelser 3

Paul and Rad have looked after my cars for the past twelve years and I am very grateful for their expertise. There's so much to learn about the DS, and Paul has always been generous with his time and knowledge. He'll provide an honest appraisal on any potential purchase and identifies the many cars that are best avoided.

Paul inspected and recommended my first DS, a 1972 21 IE, back in 2011 and has guided me through several others over the years. Call him before you buy one – his advice is invaluable.

Rad is an exceptional mechanic. He’s attentive to each car and its owner’s needs, happy to share his knowledge, and always willing to explain repairs with photos and videos. He has helped me out of trouble several times, taking calls at unreasonable hours and keeping me on the road.

They haven’t yet restored a car for me; however, the restoration work that I have seen, carried out by Rad’s family in Poland, is remarkable. The attention to detail is superb.

Thank you, Pallas Auto, for taking care of my cars and putting up with this insufferable enthusiast.

I have used Pallas Auto to look after my Citroen DS for many years since it has been restored by them to a very high standard.
My first contact with them was a result of recommendation by someone who already had many years of experience dealing with them. They are well known in Citroen DS specialist "world" for a brilliant work they do and very reasonable charges for their services and parts in comparison to their "competition" though is worth mentioning that all business in this highly specialised field are actually cooperate with each other in many ways to keep our classic DSs on the road. They are always friendly and professional, you can talk to them at any time and they are always happy to give expert advice. Absolutely and highly recommended.

The work done on my DS was a massive disappointment. The wiring work that was suggested was appalling, and due to the many problems, was inspected by an auto electrician and described as dangerous and completely amateurish. I was charged twice for the same part to be replaced, had up to 90% mark up on other parts that were suggested. Original parts and other retro fitted functions were removed without consent or at any stage informing me. During the dispute the owner made claims that displayed a worrying lack of knowledge regarding auto electrics at the most basic of levels, despite having an attitude of the most annoying know all. Numerous embarrassing contradictions also highlighted the worrying standard employed. The car had to be repaired even before leaving on collection day, they had had it for six months. It then broke down within the first hour of travel due to a part replaced by them. The owner could not have been more unhelpful in attempts at resolving the many problems, which were never resolved. Due to the conduct and work standard all trust had been destroyed and returning the car was just unrealistic. I simply would not trust this company on any level, they do not accept credit card payments, so no protection there.They have no terms and conditions and refused to supply details of qualifications they claimed to have. There are far better classic Citroen garages, I learned the expensive way, it would be hard to find worse!
