I began my career Zimbabwe as a motor mechanic and spent around 6 years here before coming across to the UK. I have worked for Jaguar and Aston Martin among others and contracted to different franchised dealerships and independent dealers like Available Cars,Motor Depot etc as well as Trade Centre Wales and that has allowed me to gain great experience in all makes/models & repairs. I set-up my own business Vigilant Automotive Ltd 2016 trading as a mobile mechanic catering for all makes/models & repairs.

James was a lovely person who although he initially was booked for a clutch problem diagnosed that it was a drive shaft problem who then proceeded to fix the issue in the most cost effective way , he was an absolute pleasure to deal with and I would without doubt use him again or recommend him

My mechanic was punctual and got on with the job. We had a brief chat about the work carried out and other things and he was a friendly guy. The only issue that was raised was when he finished he took it for a test drive and the abs light was staying on! There was no issue with it before so he checked a few things to see what was wrong and then He found out on he's computer that the sensor had blown so I asked if this was to do with the work carried out and he said he has never had a problem with it before. There was a bit of an awkward silence and then he said if I buy the sensor he would fit it for free so that's what happened. Whether it was just a bit of bad luck or something else I don't know because I'm not a mechanic. So I've ended up paying another £34 on the sensor. Read more
