The mechanic arrived within the time slot, and took the car away due to needing a garage to replace both track rod ends. The car was returned later that day and drives like a dream. A great result from a competent and skillful mechanic.
The best bit - the price. A local big name garage wanted £480 for parts.
The whole job via Clickmechanic was completed for much less than half that, inclusive (BMW120d xtrack)
ClickMechanic was a gem of a find, in this day and garage reliability is questionable.
Thanks to all involved.”
