Mechanic turned up late. I received a phone call to say the vehicle was in great condition.
Since bringing this home, within a few days there is a coolant leak and an issue with the stop/start mechanism.
Upon picking up the vehicle there was white smoke coming from under the bonnet which I presumed to just be steam (I’m no mechanic) turns out this is linked to the coolant leak. Are diagnostics not completed when doing these reviews because I’m not actually sure what I have paid for and now have a vehicle which is currently going to cost over £1000 to repair

Llie was late turning up, he did not even bother to contact the seller before hand to say he would be late until I prompted him.

The report was just the tick boxes, he even got the cars mileage wrong. There was no written summary of the car.

No photos showing the dash with no warning lights with the engine running.

Said no toolkit with no explanation.

He took over 4 hours to send photos
and report while the seller is waiting for a response.

I would not use him again very poor.
As he has even got the mileage wrong I place no faith in this report.

I am sorry ClickMechanic but this mechanic has certainly let you down and done your business damage.


On this mechanics performance I would not recommend your services.

Hello, We have proof of all communication with the seller due to the traffic we were 15 minutes late. What explanation would you like for there not being the tool kit in place. Ask the seller that I’m here to inspect the car. We also did send you all the pictures required. We spent over 2.5 hours inspecting the car as we had lots of points to make. You then messaged rudely asking why the report takes so long when we gave you a short time frame of completion. You also asked for pictures and videos (which the seller had already sent you) and we sent over 65 to you WhatsApp as requested. Ungrateful Customers like yourself do not deserve your service and among our team we will be unhappy to attend such a rude individual. We carry out over 20 inspections a week with great competence and professionalism. Read more

Very good report on the phone, pointed out the key issues and spent time explaining the issues in a clear and unhurried way.

Ilie was apologetic for not arriving on time and the lateness was down to unforeseen circumstances. That aside, his excellent work and communication was commendable. Llie was very knowledgeable and knew the car inside out. On completion of the service Ilie explained what had been carried out showing me the parts that had been removed and replaced. As I am a Mercedes enthusiast, I discussed my previous experience I had with a CLK convertible after which, I was left in no doubt that Ilie was knowledgeable in not only my E Class but other Mercedes Models. I’m extremely happy with the service and would highly recommend Ilie. Thank you Read more

I recently had a pre-inspection check on a Vauxhall Astra done by Ilie, and he was great! Ilie was thorough, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about every aspect of the car. He examined the engine, brakes, suspension, and electronics, providing detailed feedback and putting me at ease for my inevitable purchase. His insights were invaluable in helping me make an informed decision.

The chap originally planned could not make it on the day due to unforeseen issues. They sent another mechanic and upgraded the service.

The service itself was perfect. The mechanic called and talked me through what had been checked.

Honestly this was great and I won't hesitate to use them again.
