Due to time constraints, and no experience whatsoever in buying a car, I was delighted to find I could book a mechanic online on a Friday pm to check out a car for sale by a private seller on Saturday am. Though I got the email report within two hours I didn't find it very detailed or informative so I attempted to call and text the mechanic. In fairness he did get back to me a couple of hours later with a voicemail to say that the car was a good one and just needed a few minor things like one tyre and a washer. Unfortunately within two weeks I've had to get the other three tyres replaced, realignment and a wheel repair, all cost I would have negotiated from the seller had I known. Also if I had been pulled over I would have received points on my licence and a fine. Next time I'll go to RAC Read more
Reply from Gary:
This was a strange one from the very start.. I pride myself on attention to detail and carried out the Inspection. As far as the report is concerned, "Click mechanic" provide their own template/report that the technicians are required to complete which I duly done. The report that Click mechanic provides is very in depth and professional. There was a gap in between the time of Inspection and customer collection. I informed the customer regarding her complaint, that the other Three wheels had indeed been swapped before collection of the Vehicle. In my opinion, the customer had every right for complaint and am saddened by the way sellers can be so dishonest. My report was true and concise at the time of inspection. Read more

I had a phone call from the very lovely Gary to say he was outside by my car. We chatted for a few minutes and he explained fully what he was going to do. When the report was ready Gary told me what the fault was and did not just skim over the details. He also fixed the problem for me and I was not charged any extra. I highly recommend Gary and would use his services again.

What a great experience. Gary phoned in the morning to give me an ETA and arrived when he said he would, van equipped to tackle just about any problem your car could have. After a brief test drive the car was up in the air and Gary set to work, determined to find the cause of my issue, methodically ticking off the possibilities. In no time at all Gary had found the problem, fixed it and another quick test drive confirmed it.
I'd taken the car to other national 'mechanics' who had supposedly diagnosed the the issue through visual inspections, needless to say they were wrong, and would have cost a fortune in repairs that were not needed.
Gary, unafraid to get his hands dirty and get under the car has saved me a great deal of money.
I cannot recommend clickmechanic.com and particularly Gary Malin enough, thoroughly honest and knowledgeable guy...Thanks!!

Super service overall from Gary who rang me the day before the appointment to clarify in detail the work he was doing. I also received a call from Gary after the job was complete. Will definitely use/refer Click Mechanic if needed in future.
