Mechanic was friendly but I was unhappy to be charged £70 just to tell me my battery was flat and no replacement was available despite providing this information when I booked the appointment two days prior. I was then told to replace the battery would be another callout for an extortionate £159. I went with Halfords and paid £87 inc fitting and wouldn’t use or recommend ClickMechanic.
Reply from Alec:
Mr Wood thank you for your review. I would like to confirm that yes the battery was flat upon arriving at the vehicle and I had offered to collect a battery for you given the battery I had brought with me was incorrect, this is a parts selection issue and something I have no control over. You had stated that as someone was collecting the vehicle within 20 minutes of my arrival I had little time to source a replacement battery for you. You had also stated that you didn't want to spend the click mechanic quoted amount on replacing the battery as the vehicle was to be sold imminently and you was wanting to let it go as it was and reluctant to spend thr money on the vehicle as it was going.
If you wish please raise this with the resolution team and they can advise further.
Thank you and it was a pleasure meeting you, I do hope you manage to sell the vehicle moving forward.

Alec was extremely helpful and professional. He provided updates on when he was planning to carry out the inspection and the information provided after the inspection was very detailed and very helpful in helping us make our decision for a car purchase. I would not hesitate to recommend his services and will certainly be using the services in the future. Thanks again Alec.

I was really pleased Alec accepted the latest job as he'd recently sorted out another issue for me. As before he explained in detail what the problems were and the different solutions I should consider.
Highly recommended.
