“My mechanic, Patson came to me the same day within a couple of hours of me looking into Click Mechanic. He was very understanding of how I was reliant on my car for my job and keeping me independent. Patson is a very friendly, happy guy and was lovely to speak to. He didn't treat me like a neurotic woman (like some of them in garages). I knew my car needed a new clutch as my car had been in my local garage waiting to get fixed, (but they'd left it on the street for 10 days and didn't bother with it). Patson, test-drove my car and agreed it needed a clutch so we discussed prices which I felt were quite reasonable, and once he checked he had the part he told me exactly what day he'd be able to fix it. Patson drove my car away and let me know he got home safely as I was worried he might break down. I cannot fault this guy in any way as he told me what day my car would be fixed and he kept his word.

Patson worked very hard on my car and cleaning it all up, and he checked it over to make sure everything else was OK (this gave me tonnes for my peace of mind). And as promised, Patson fixed my car and brought her safely back to me.

When dropping my car off, Patson let me know some bits and bobs about my car and I thought this was great service as he took an interest in wanting to keep my car safe as she's a lovely car to drive. Patson's extremely knowledgeable about cars and explained everything in terms I understood. His manner was courteous, he was very polite and I felt safe chatting with him.

I will ask for Patson again for all my other jobs that will need doing as he's a super mechanic and takes a real zest and pride in his work.

I'd recommend Patson to everyone as he's a very reliable, honest hard working bloke, and an awesome mechanic.
Thank you very much to Click Mechanic but especially to Patson for getting the job done fast and my racey-red back to me safely! 😁”
