“Click mechanic made fixing my car really simple, I am very happy with both click mechanic and MK2 Motors who carried out the work. No hassle to my day whatsoever. My car was collected from my driveway and returned fixed same day. I was very happy and the mechanic uploaded the pictures of the work as confirmation it was completed. During the work the mechanic communicated further issues found which could potentially make my car unsafe which I thought was great as it showed concern for my safety as well as making me aware of my cars health. Definitely recommend.”
