When my car unexpectedly failed to start the next day after a routine MOT at a well-known local garage, I was left in a lurch. The garage’s technicians suggested a gearbox issue but couldn’t provide a definitive solution. That’s when I turned to ClickMechanic.com.

The mechanic’s approach was meticulous and thorough. Upon arrival, he conducted a comprehensive diagnostic that went beyond the surface-level check done by the previous garage.
Ben worked with precision, quickly identifying the root cause that had been overlooked. The repair was executed with such efficiency that within 45 minutes, my car was not just fixed but running as smoothly as ever.

The level of detail and care Ben provided was a refreshing experience. His service didn’t just fix my car—it gave me peace of mind

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.
