Driveshaft UK

The nearside front outer CV joint on my Mercedes was making a lot of noise, due to a split gaiter and the resulting ingress of dirt and moisture. The Mercedes genuine part (only available as a complete driveshaft) was priced at 1200. Bob at Driveshaft UK fitted a top brand OEM quality CV joint to my driveshaft for a little under 100. Additionally, he managed to free the intermediate shaft (which was seized onto the inner CV joint) making reassembly much easier. I cannot recommend this company highly enough, they are driveshaft and prop shaft specialists and you cant beat a good old fashioned specialist.

Sorted a drive shaft out for me when no one else could. Saved me around 600 compared to what Nissan wanted to charge me.

Everything was great, until it wasn't... As mentioned by another customer, refurbishments are outsourced, and Driveshaft UK won't have anything to do with it if things go wrong. After an initially great experience, I noticed that the outer CV boots that were fitted to my reconditioned driveshafts were starting to split within 500 miles (old, perished rubber). I asked an independent Porsche specialist for their opinion, who agreed in writing that they needed replacing. The garage couldn't allow for one of their ramps to be out of action for days while the driveshafts were removed and couriered back to Driveshaft UK for inspection, so I asked them to go ahead and replace the CV boots with genuine items. I'm a very reasonable person and understand that these things happen, so I asked for nothing more than a goodwill gesture towards the cost of repair. At the time, Driveshaft UK said they would replace the boots if I sent the driveshafts back, but I explained that this would have been entirely impractical and inconvenient given the circumstances. Following this and knowing that the perished CV boots had been discarded and replaced, Driveshaft UK refused to entertain any goodwill gesture whatsoever and even told me that my photos showed no evidence of anything wrong (take a look and decide for yourself). It's a real shame that it's come to this, but I can now only hope that this review (which replaces my previous 5* review) costs Driveshaft UK more in lost business than it would have if they had chosen to provide me with a small contribution towards the subsequent repair. Avoid! Avoid!! Avoid!!!
