Nah Vehicle Inspections , West Yorkshire | ClickMechanic

Nigel H
I am an “old school” fully apprentice-trained and highly qualified mechanic/technician, and a former fleet maintenance manager and warranty claims consultant/assessor.

For the past 24 years, I have been a vehicle examinations engineer/inspector/assessor.

I have over 40 years experience of inspecting and repairing vehicles and their components of all types.

I also undertake warranty claims and vehicle finance company assessments to assess vehicle condition and fitness for purposes etc.

Employed by the vehicle buying public, vehicle warranty and vehicle finance companies.

I was previously the Technical Manager for DEKRA UK and AA Vehicle Inspections, responsible for Engineer training, quality assurance, and all technical aspects of the service.


I have been a Consultant Engineer for RAC Vehicle Examinations.

My main speciality is carrying out pre and post-purchase inspections on vehicles of all makes and models, modern and more mature vehicles, using my many years of experience, vast technical knowledge and keen eye for detail, to assist my customers with their vehicle purchases or in the event of a poor vehicle purchase experience, with a view resolution of vehicle quality issues.

I will provide an unbiased and detailed technical report on the vehicle's condition and give advice to enable my customers to make an informed decision.

I have inspected thousands of vehicles over the years.

I have vast experience inspecting older and classic cars also. However, keep up to date with the latest vehicle developments and technologies.

I have an in-depth knowledge of the Motor Industry and all repair methods.

I have attended Court as an Expert Witness for clients many times. Never lost a case !

In order to maintain my independent inspectors status, I do not undertake any vehicle repairs.

Very knowledgeable and had all the correct equipment to check the car over properly and gave good feedback while he was going through the checks.
We didn't buy the car because of the many issues the mechanic found so am very happy with choosing to spend the money to get the car checked.

Reply from Nigel:

Thankyou that's very kind, but just what I do. :) Happy to have helped.

Nigel was very thorough in his inspection, providing us essential information that we needed as we where not able to view the car in person. He outlined some key issues that we will need to address with the car that we would not have been able to identify ourselves and had the time to speak with us on the weekend. I recommend Nigel and am very happy with his service.

Nigel put down on the report that he couldn’t locate the locking wheel nut but my vehicle does have any locking wheel bolts on the alloys.
I informed Nigel from the beginning that the Car is a CAT N and had a Salvaged Peugeot Subframe fitted and a new wishbone etc. His report is painting out that the car is only worthy for scrap. I won’t be using this service again or recommending it, next time I’ll get the AA or RAC..

Reply from Nigel:

Hello, thanks for the review. However I must point out that at no time did I say or imply that the vehicle was only fit for scrap. I concluded that it was " below average", which it is. I also reported that the repair was of poor quality as the lower arm ball joint had been left loose rendering the vehicle dangerous to drive and recommended that all other disturbed components be checked for correct security, which is good advice. Incidently, I was consultant engineer for RAC and used to manage and train AA inspection engineers.

Sorry, you were disappointed with the report, but I was merely doing my job and saving you from driving a dangerously defective vehicle.
In my experience written off vehicles are never repaired to a good standard.

Kind regards.

Nigel.

I recently had my Mercedes Benz B-Class inspected by Nigel at ClikMechanic, and I am extremely satisfied with the service. Nigel arrived on time and was very nice and professional throughout the entire process.

He spent a full hour checking my car in great detail, ensuring that every aspect was thoroughly inspected. This meticulous attention to detail gave me great peace of mind. The service was prompt, and despite the thorough inspection, Nigel completed the work efficiently.

Overall, the quality of Nigel's work was exceptional. I highly recommend Nigel at ClikMechanic to anyone in need of a reliable and professional car inspection.

Booked a Premium car inspection and was assigned Nigel. Had a quick look at his 'experience' on ClickMechaniic and was blown away. Felt like I had hit thd jackpot. Messaged me before the inspection and phoned me afterwards with factual information and helpful advice. We didn't buy the car based on his phone call/report. Good to find someone both professional and friendly. Saved us from an expensive mistake.

Reply from Nigel:

Thank you for your wonderful review, just doing my job, but its greatly appreciated:)

Take care, Nigel.
