“Filip was amazing! I was in a panic when my breaks went and as a nurse had to work shifts for the next 2 days. Click Mechanic is an amazing service! Filip came to my house the next day, gave me notice when he was on his way. Lovely guy! Fixed my car just within a couple of hours and I didn't have to miss a days work. Didn't break the balance either. Many thanks, truly grateful and amazed how easy it was to get my breaks fixed. Will be using this service again in the future and recommending to others.”
