“Highly recommend the Clickmechanic service. Polite and punctual service at a great price. My VW does not get much use so when it started making a noise from the brakes I first called the VW main dealer to be told (after 15mins of customer information gathering) that they were too busy to see the car at short notice. Alternatively used Clickmechanic at 5pm and Dave arrived 9am the next morning to my office, dismantled and cleaned the brakes to confirm all ok and no parts were needed. This was a fraction of the price I was expecting from the vw main dealership. Kept me informed as the work was done and showed me what was making the noise. ”

“Didn't meet the mechanic, just the pick up man. Car seems fine after having new brake shoes, but he didn't adjust the hand brake. It now comes right up, about six clicks, when it is supposed to be about two. I will get my dad to adjust it. It should have been done by them for £150's.”
