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.

I'm sorry to say that but I'm very, very unhappy with the work done by Russell the "mechanic".
I've spent over £2000 to have some work done on my Volkswagen, never had a problem with this car .
I only wanted to replace some parts like clutch, timing belt , oil service, coolant system cleaning, brake pads...etc.
I wanted to be everything new, but soon as Russell finished his work after 2 days , everything goes wrong now with my car , lots of oil leaking plus every morning I find the coolant reservoir empty all the liquid dripping on the ground, clutch noise, horrible smell in my car....etc

As I previously said, I've never , never had any problems with my car before.
And much more.
Now I have to find a way to save money again to fix my car and find someone that really knows what he's doing but for sure I will never use ClickMechanic again.
Worst service ever.

Russell and his son were knowledgeable and informative about the work that had to be done. The replacement front pads and discs were fitted without undue haste and he was able to carefully describe the progress and answer my questions in a friendly manner.

Russell was very efficient and let me know what to expect at every stage which gave me confidence in the process as I had not used a mobile mechanic before. He fitted a new clutch to an old car and it now has a new lease of life. I am very pleased with his work.

Russell and his friend got let down by their parts supplier first thing but kept me informed all the way and were with me as soon as the bits arrived.
They worked quickly and efficiently, also identifying something else that will need attention in the near future.
I can wholeheartedly recommend them.
