Russell B
I did my apprenticeship at a garage in Swindon as I studied with Northstar College. After graduating I left and went to Charlie Browns auto services for 2-3 years. Following my time at Charlie Browns I went to work for Mr. Clutch for 3 years where I progressed from mechanic, to assistant manager, to store manager. After learning all I could from Mr. Clutch I decided to go self employed and also do mobile mechanic work, and I have been doing that for about 7-8 years now.

Russell and his team were brilliant. They kept me updated on their time of arrival, were punctual and courteous and most of all honest. They took the time to talk to me about the issues and my options moving forward. I would highly recommend Click Mechanic and Russell. Thank you.

Russell did an excellent job, he was friendly, prompt, polite and communicated about arrival times etc - really efficient. Did a full service, replaced rear discs and pads on the Nissan plus a couple of more minor jobs - would definitely recommend him.

Russell arrived over an hour late. I had to phone him to find out where he was. No apology for that was forthcoming.
The car had failed the MOT on park brake efficiency.
He adjusted the travel of the hand brake itself. However, despite giving a show of working on the rear wheels, the car subsequently failed its retest. I have since found that to fix the problem, the wheels had to come off; that did not happen.
Very disappointed. I won't be using Russell or Click Mechanic again. Just shoddy.

Reply from Russell:

Afternoon Richard,

After reading this review it would have been best practice to call Russell so we can help sort this issue out. However from what you have stated it does not add up to what happened. When arriving to this job you had 10+ clicks on your handbrake which is very loose. After adjustment on the handbrake cable we lowered it to 6 clicks and make the handbrake stronger

When showing us the MOT Sheet it read a parking brake efficiency of 14% which is 2% off the legal minimum. By us adjusting the handbrake as much as we did it would be impossible for the vehicle to have not pass the MOT.


When Russell was working on your rear wheels with the rear jacked up he was greasing your caliper parking cable arms to allow them to move freely and not get stuck. This allows for a longer life on the cable and caliper
