I really hope Clickmechanic leaves this review of my experience. I do not recommend anyone using the for MOT as in the event the car fails then they do not just do the work same day but rather they have to re book the car for another day. The mechanic I booked was nice but I think this is a system issue with the MOT work they do. Further, the mechanics mobile did not work for the day and he did not give me a courtesy call as expected to explain the issues with the car even as I tried to call him and sent him text messages. I do NOT recommend Clickmechanic (not specifically James) for this sort of job.
Reply from Gentlemec Motor Services:
Hi Wael, thank you for your feedback. It's good to hear your thoughts and apologies you were not entirely happy on this occasion.
To reference your Punctuality score, ClickMechanic gives you a two hour arrival window. We confirmed we would be with you at 8am, which we were, and we returned the vehicle after it's MOT as discussed.
When collecting your car, we discussed the process, which included that if your vehicle was to fail, it would need to be booked in for the work and retest on another day. You also at this point advised us it would be best to text you, instead of calling. When we returned with the vehicle, we spoke to your partner to advise of the next steps.
Your vehicle had failed it's MOT, but did not receive a 'dangerous to drive' notice, and still had a valid MOT. We text you to inform you of the failure, and gave you our next available date to carry out the work and submit it for retest. You did at this point request us to call you, which we tried, but it went to voicemail, so we continued our conversations via text messages.
ClickMechanic helps to provide customers with a network of local independent mechanics. While we will always do our best to get MOT failures in quickly, these do not take priority over the customers we already have booked in for that day, unless that vehicle has received a 'dangerous to drive' notice. I am sorry your perception of the situation was different.
We hope you are successful in getting your vehicle through its MOT.
Best wishes.

Great service. Identified that not all the work quoted for was required and only undertook and charged for what was necessary. Thanks

James came and collected my car as arranged. He returned it later telling me clearly what had been done and what might need attention over the next few months.
I am well satisfied with the work.

James and Mike (he told me his name, yay), did an awesome job today. James had a niggling feeling about the fault and in true blue style found the answer in the fuel line after having to start bleeding the fuel back through the lines, which if you know is not a very nice job. The car is now running and has a bandage (true) on it until James and possibly Mike will come back to replace the old pipe line (pinhole found leaking air into the low pressure side, very hard to find unless you have a mouthful of diesel in your mouth . . .). Brilliant, well done lads and see you again very soon.

James and his colleague were spot on with their diagnosis. The work they did to accurately identify the actual fault was done confidently and thoroughly. No stone unturned!
The quote for the additional work needing to be undertaken to replace the faulty component is very competitive and I am more than content for James to do that knowing that the work carried out will be to a high professional standard.

Couldn't find an affordable mechanic closer to home (I live in the wilds of Dorset) so managed to book replacement brake pads and discs to be fitted at my workplace in Bournemouth. James did a great job, arrived bang on time and only took around two hours including the test drive. Very pleased!
