Thought I might need a new clutch or gearbox, but Barry found the issue and fixed it during the diagnosis. Saved me a fortune :)

Quick to diagnose the problem and to suggest a fix. Very relived that it wasn’t a (too) expensive part to replace!

The engine is humming sweetly now, especially given the extra tip from Barry on how a small broken plastic clasp in my engine was vibrating and causing a loud sound!

Wouldn’t hesitate to use again.

Barry was amazing. Job turned out to be pain, but Barry kept at it. Stayed working in -6 degree temp and made sure job was completed. Can't rate him high enough, really happy and would recommend him.

The machinic was friendly and on time but unfortunately the information I was given was incorrect I was told my car needed a new stater motor so I sent £400 having a new one fitted to find it made no difference and is still a non starter.

Reply from Barry:

I would still with the information available would have said the starting motor was faulty .the mechanic who took off the starting motor should have checked the old starter with a jump pack or jump leads to make sure that it was faulty before fitting a new starting motor.the only other thing that you can check is to put a jump leads to the engine and to the body as it could be that the earth to engine is dodgy causing the starter problem,as the car is not that old I would not have thought that the earth strap has corroded but that is all I can think of.regards Barry

Barry was great. He arrived on time, carried out the work in a timely manner and explained in a clear, easy to understand way, the problem with the car. He was friendly and inspired trust. We will have no hesitation in using Barry again, and will recommend ClickMechanic to friends.

Thank you so much.
