Fantastic mechanic
Genuine work and honest person!!!
My land rover discovery had a broken coil spring.
It was a tricky one as part was not easily available.
However with a little bit of patience they were able to do a flawless job

Stink attitude abrupt and rude
He arrived on time to collect car but had an attitude when I said I wasn’t interested in his suggestion extra costs would definitely be needed. He didn’t state what the cost was but then mentioned a flywheel replacement was refused by me on the resolution centre message site. At that point he hadn’t even checked my car or even started the work - it was his assumption
He agreed to return vehicle the following day at 3pm after collecting the car 2pm on Friday . However, 1 hour before he was to return the vehicle he rang to say he couldn’t find wheel lock and needed this otherwise couldn’t do the job!.
So how could he have know a flywheel wouldn’t be definitely needed to be replaced?
He agreed to return the car a 8pm and at around 7pm sent a text stating that no flywheel was needed yet he made such a pint about me refusing extra parts when he didn’t even know it was needed at the time he sent the message on Friday and 24 hours later he was wrong
He checked my car couldnt find wheel lock but created a mess in the car by removing everything from the glove box leaving it on the floor and car seat.
When I raised this he had the audacity to tell me via text, I was being ridiculous because my car was already messy anyway! My car might need vacuum and polish but it doesn’t give him the damn right to call me ridiculous or make more of a mess and think doing so is justified as my car was already messy
I told him the seatbelt alarm was no longer working- he again using text told me it had nothing to do with him but I know the seatbelt alarm was working the last time I drove car. I suggested that maybe a wire was loose or sensor? .., he started talking about the airbag. I don’t know what the airbag has to do with the seatbelt and Ididn’t bother to wait for him to explain
When he arrived at 8.30 and not 8pm he apologised for his attitude the day before about the parts.., but then once again chose to be rude today when I raised these points with him
This behaviour is totally unacceptable to me I don’t expect to be spoken to like this and pay for it as well
He even apologised and asked I visit his garage to refit wheel lock on Tuesday
This dude is rude and aggressive and very defensive I will never use JK Auto and will never recommend him to anyone!
I will let my Insta, Facebook and TIKTOK followers know about this dude - disgrace how can I trust the job he did was done correctly and is safe?
If I could give this person - 0 I would

Reply from JK Auto Works Limited:
My apologies but you have left me in tricky situation and unfortunately I have to respond to your review.
When I arrived to pick up your vehicle you have stated it is in “drivable” condition but there was no clutch what so ever!
I have managed to get it to my workshop without calling in the recovery company to tow me.
I have advised you that usually when there is no clutch and the car is revving up without acceleration if there is dualmass flywheel it has to be replaced due to the wear on it.
When we started the work on your vehicle I have asked you where is the locking wheel nut located.
You did not have a clue. We found a locking wheel nut that DID NOT fit your vehicle. I have advised you that this job will take me LONGER due to the fact that I have to break them to take off the wheels to carry out the clutch replacement.
Your clickmechanic booking clearly states that you have to leave it out VISIBLE for the mechanics to carry out the job.
Your car was a TOTAL MESS when it was picked up and the amount of stuff we had to go through to try to locate your locking wheel nut and the smell was unbelievable.
We have managed to remove them FREE OF CHARGE for you even though we charge £60 per one wheel! Just to carry out the job for you!
Your attitude stank from the moment I have picked up your vehicle and Im wondering why I did not refuse the job in first place.
