“I was in contact with Juan, who was keen to get the job of throttle body replacement for a 2007 Saab 9-3 Aero done.
He had sent another mechanic who arrived after dark.
This mechanic brought a replacement which fitted, but it had the wrong connector.
After this, he took my old throttle body away overnight in an effort to find a correct one.
The following day I called and was told that they had been unable to get a new throlled body immediately, but had one on order which would arrive within four business days.
Juan himself came the following afternoon and said he'd clean and refit the old throttle body.
This seems to have fix the problem of "limited performance".
Overall, a good job was done.
I have been charged only for labour at a very reasonable rate (considering all the work involved in sourcing the correct part), and I have been refunded the portion of payment that was for the replacement part.
This is my second time using Click mechanic, and I think I will use them again in future.
Thanks for all your hard work Juan and A.N.Other. The car is performing really well, so I think the problem was building for a while.”

“Tariq was absolutely fantastic! From the moment the job was accepted to him coming to drop the car back, his communication throughout was amazing.

I had received diagnostics from a few garages, one had tried to charge me £900 just to remove the gearbox to inspect what the sound was alone. However, I was very confident it was the clutch release bearing so booked my car in online as the price was half of what it would have cost me.

However, it turned out my car had a dual mass flywheel, which made things more complex. This required the clutch and flywheel to be replaced together which did add about £500 onto the whole job.

Not ideal, but not Tariqs fault. He picked my car up that evening at about 11pm to start working on it early in the morning sourcing parts overnight. It turned out the flywheel was the culprit of the noise and was failing at 62,000 miles, which for a 5 year old car is a little premature, but given the car was an ex rental fleet car, makes sense as I imagine multiple drivers in a not so common 6 speed gearbox would have not driven it well, not being used to the clutch.

I had my car delivered back by 2pm the following day!

Well impressed is an understatement as most garages were saying it would be hard to get parts and giving me a 5 day timescale.

Got my car back clutch feels amazing as you'd expect and drives like a new car.

I'd highly recommend Tariqs services, especially for a clutch/flywheel replacement and will bear him in mind for future services I may need.”

Frequently asked questions about engine oil change & replacements in Watford

Read our answers to questions about engine oil change costs, symptoms and more.

What does an engine oil change in Watford involve?

  • The mechanic will raise the vehicle and ensure that the surrounding area is protected against any spillage
  • The mechanic will drain the oil and change the oil filter
  • Mechanic will then refill the engine with the correct grade and quantity of quality oil
  • Mechanic will run the engine and once cool, will re check the level
  • Any dashboard based oil service and quality warnings will be reset to indicate the oil service has been performed

What are the symptoms of bad engine oil?

Fundamentally, unless it has gone too far, the average motorist is unlikely to know there is something wrong physically with it.

There may be an oil pressure warning on the dashboard that could indicate the oil isn’t circulating as well as it should due to a blocking filter or even a failing oil pump or there may be an oil level warning, which would indicate there isn’t enough oil in the engine. However both of these warnings are not really an indicator of the actual oil quality but can alert you to potential issues.
Therefore typical symptoms are;

  • Engine oil level warning
  • Engine oil pressure warning
  • Service indicator lights
  • Oil quality warning light

How long will an engine oil change take in Watford?

An engine oil change usually takes around 1 hour, but can take less or more time. Ultimately, the time that the job will take will depend on a number of factors, like your vehicle's make and model, year, as well as other factors. Select your car at the top of this page for information on job time and cost for your vehicle through ClickMechanic.

Should I change engine oil every 10,000 miles?

Most auto manufacturers recommend changing engine oil every 5000-7000 miles. However, keep in mind that older cars may need its engine oil changed more frequently. The best thing to do is check the owner's manual for manufacturer recommended oil change frequency.

Which engine oil is the best for my car?

The best oil recommended for your car will be listed in the owner's manual.

Engine oil comes in different viscosities, and is generally signified by a grade number, such as 5w40. It is important to consult the owner's manual as using the wrong type of oil can cause stress to the mechanical components of the engine that need optimum lubrication.

Is a bad engine oil an MOT failure?
