Vag Techniks T/A Smiths Garage , Berkshire | ClickMechanic

Sean S
I completed my apprenticeship with Ridgeway Volkswagen in Reading & was there for 5 years. I moved next to Grosvenor Motor Company in Reading which was a BMW specialist for 3 years. I worked with Pangbourne Garage as a recovery driver for around 2 years. In May 2010 I set-up VAG Techniks, the business offers both garage and mobile services and on all your ClickMechanic jobs you will see myself or my mechanic Jack who is fully City & Guilds qualified up to level 3, so you'll always be in safe hands. At VAG Techniks even though we are VAG group specialists we cater for all makes/models of car and tackle all repairs.

Diagnositics only, repairs would have been as much as vehicle is worth. The news was broken in a nice manner :)

Sean turned up on time and started on the correct route to fixing the problem. Unfortunately modern car technology wasn't kind to me so car had to be towed. Car was fixed and returned within quote.

Sean was very friendly and efficient and explained everything that he was doing rather than leaving me in the dark. Glad that he was able to make the return visit on the Tuesday evening otherwise my Christmas may have been ruined!

Shaun was in a big hurry and while it was true he identified and resolved the immediate symptoms of the car not starting, he did not satisfactorily explain how that had occurred neither did he deal with the fact that the engine was making a funny sound.

He was with us less than 15 minutes so very expensive and we still don't know why the car is not sounding right!

Not a great experience, and we were not left feeling it was value for money although strictly speaking he did get the car started by selling us an expensive battery, I think the unexplained noise relates to a worn belt which may be affecting the charging of the battery!.

Reply from Sean:

Car wont Start due to flat battery I supplied a fitted a new battery what more did you want me to do. Engine noise was due to very low engine oil which I did explain.
Also I did NOT make you buy the battery I had.
