Feedback about ClickMechanic and not about the mechanic:
Communicative, informative and kept me updated throughout.
However, and a big however, you took the payment from my bank account 24 hours before the job was done - yet your terms of engagement state clearly that payment will be taken AFTER the job is completed and I am satisfied with the result - VERY POOR SHOW CHAPS!!”
