Lothian DAF

Lothian DAF is Edinburgh’s DAF centre, specialising in sales and repairs of LDV and DAF vans and lorries. It’s situated in the Pentland Industrial Estate, just outside the ring of the bypass, and not far from IKEA. Although it’s a bit of a trek to get there, it’s worth the trip.
I’ve been to and from this garage many times since September. I help with a charity called Children’s Holiday Venture, looking after their two LDV Convoy minibuses on a voluntary basis. This means that the buses both need checking every 6 – 8 weeks during term time, and taking in for repairs as and when required.
Every time I have visited Lothian DAF with one of the minibuses, I have been impressed. It is primarily their service department that I have dealt with, which is headed up by a guy called Paul. He remembers who I am when I come in, which I find surprising in a large garage that must see hundreds of vehicles in a week. Repairs and checks have normally been carried out within a day, and it has always been done to a high standard.
Staff at the garage have always been willing to provide advice on minibus-​related matters, and answer any questions that we have had on repairs, problems or other issues. It is so great to see a garage that is trustworthy and valuing every single customer that comes through their doors.
These guys are great, and for what we use them for, I can think of none better.
