The mechanic was good. Clear, quick to complete job to good standard. However, the charge was in excess of £190 after a quote of around £150. The mechanic did message me re the requirement of oil which was going to be more costly than what was quoted. It would obviously have been a better experience overall if the price quoted was adhered to. Had I have known the cost would be what it was I may have considered another outlet for the service. With this in mind I wouldn't recommend clickmechanic to others

Ben went to check a car at a 2nd hand dealer so I didn’t meet him myself but he text and replied promptly and sent a report that day. Then they called me to talk me through it, so I understood it all.

Not a great communicator - late for appointment
Not able to answer questions or give advice.
Very quick -1 hour for full service

Reply from Ben:

Hi, thank you for your review. With regards to being late we messaged you before hand to advise you of this. A full service should not take longer than 1 hour im afraid. With regards to communication, my technician wrote all the answers to your questions down on paper for you due to your hearing. He also mentioned his findings on the service report.

First time using click mechanic, I am very happy. Good price for the job quote and the garage went above and beyond (1st Gear Autos). Collected the vehicle within the time slot and delivered it back without any problems. The job has been completed to a very high standard and communication was great. Would recommend and I will use this garage again.

Callum was great! Turned up within the time frame expected, diagnosed the problem effortlessly, advised on what was needed to be done (clutch replacement), arranged recovery, and let me know when our car was ready so he could bring her home. He didn't mind me asking daft questions either.

He was also very respectful of the fact that I am unable to speak on phones, with all communication done by text and email - this is something that doesn't usually happen.

Thank you!
