Garage in Bristol, 15 years of experience

4 years at a BMW specialist and MOT centre. 5 years at a small local company with vehicle recovery work and repairs.

“Simon had to come to me 3 times in the day because of issues regarding the car which meant going for other parts. He never made me feel it was a chore to do so and was always friendly and approachable. He understood I was on day 2 of taking a day off work because of the car and worried about having to take a third day off. He worked hard and smoothly to ensure it was all done. He knew what he was doing and was very knowledgable. I felt he went above and beyond for me and would recommend super Simon to everyone. I hope his management take note and give him some extra reward and recognition.”

“Both fantastic and friendly. They got the job done in 15mins which was very quick. Despite the certain part being hard to find and had no luck with two previous garages, they managed to find it no problem. They were told that the part was coming in on the day I asked but the supplier had issues on it being delivered on time. This was obviously no fault of the mechanics but they kept me in the loop and were happy to accommodate another day to my suiting if needed. Would highly recommend!”

“I had an issue where there was no power going to my headlights.
They were new bulbs and fuses were good, so was told by other mechanics it was an electrical problem so wanted a diagnostic check (with the hope it was a minor thing that could be sorted).

I chose ClickMechanic because from reading their website, it seemed a lot of the jobs could possibly be sorted at the roadside and at a time to suit.

I wrote in the note section the reason for the test was to sort my headlights out, but as it happened, a diagnostic check would not pick up a fault like that. My engine management light was on and at least the test gave them codes, but for me, I was disappointed because it appeared neither ClickMechanic or the mechanic themselves read the notes as to why I wanted the test. I feel I paid over the odds (£79) for a diagnostic check.

I wasn't told the test won't pick up the headlight issue until the test was run, so would have been better for me if the notes were read and I was told before. But, the mechanics were super friendly and had a look at the lights and fuses for me, and did work out there is power going to them.

Maybe I took a gamble, and it didn't pay off

If you have an electrical issue, I won't use ClickMechanic because you would pay more for a diagnostic check than in some places, would likely be told to take it to an auto electrician anyway who would charge you again to run their test. Save money and just take it to an auto electrician, or as I did, got fed up of chasing one and booked it with the main dealer where I know I will pay a bit more but at least the job will get done in the end.

ClickMechanic would be good options for basic things like tyres and brakes etc, that can be done at the road side.

Again, the mechanics were top blokes, this is not a dig at them, I just wished the notes were read before hand and I could have had the diagnostic check done for a bit cheaper elsewhere.”

“Richard collected the vehicle to carry out the work of which I was grateful for as there was no other time. The work was carried out to a very high standard and I explained to Richard I had a minor fault with the electronic handbrake which actually caused a lot of issues replacing the rear discs and pads but he managed to do the job regardless of the extra issues faced.

Communication was good throughout and any and all questions asked with quick responses.

Would highly recommend.”
