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.

Barry was amazing. Repair was a bit more than I thought, he came back the next day with the extra part and had it all fixed (even with the snow).

Was clear with the repairs needed and was on time both days!

My assigned mechanic Barry was an excellent find!!! Although I did a self diagnosis, I had got it only half right. As soon as the bonnet was opened, Barry said 'there is your issue'. Had to order the part, came next day and sorted me out. Good egg, Barry. He has milk and one sugar in his tea if you get him 👍🏻
