Has anyone had any joy getting hold of him recently, or know if he is still trading? No replies to fb messages and mobile won't connect.

The rx digitals are due a once over!

They fixed an alarm for me a few months ago.

I sent it off to them on the 26th Feb and received it back on the 4th April, they did mention at the time that they were really busy.

Initial communication was by phone with Emily on the mobile number on their website and I received a text from her when it was fixed with details of how to pay.

Darren then rung me to explain exactly what work he'd done before sending the alarm back.

The work itself was excellent, I'd have preferred them to have done it a bit quicker but I just over 5 weeks wasn't too bad.

He's had some of my alarms for about 5 weeks now, not that I'm bothered as I knew it would not be quick, and you have to wait for a specialist service like his.

Personally, the customer service is poor, unlike Lloyds Reynolds who is quick, keeps you up to date, quick to post etc and his work is first class

I deliberately sent the alarm off to Dalectronics at a time when I knew I wasn't going to need it back for a few weeks and everything was explained to me at first point of contact. I had a text to say they'd received it and another one to say it was ready and explaining how to pay.

If you're wanting a repair done in a few days then it's probably not the company for you but if you don't mind waiting a bit longer then their customer service is fine IMO.

I'd imagine Dal is very busy at this time of year and espesh with Fox/Delkim now directing traffic his way. I buy a spare alarm just for this reason so if one goes down I have a replacement.

Personally, if I sent a alarm off at this time of year I'd be expecting to wait, but that word doesn't sit easily with a lot of the modern generation in general, like when you read some of the Carplounge comments and someone says, 'I've sent them 4 messages today and not had a reply"

Exactly this. I always go to Dal, not because I expect him to turn it around in a few days, but because I know he's going to do the best job. He fixed my RX digis when anyone else would have said they were ready for the bin.

Worth the wait, and his prices are so reasonable.

5 weeks since they acknowledged receipt of my receiver, with no update on progress etc. and now the mobile number won't connect. I ideally need it bk for a trip in the first week of September

Before I drive there and get it back, does anyone know Darren/Emily and could give them a little nudge for me? I know people have trusted them for a long time but I'm getting a bit worried tbh
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
