I tried to change the rear struts on my Landrover myself and failed miserably due to a seized pinch pole bolt.
I raised a job with click mechanic on a Sunday evening and Igor accepted within an hour. I explained the situation over the phone and he said he would attend between 5 and 6 the next evening and de done within a couple of hours.... I was very doubtful of this.
Igor Attended promptly the next day as promised, completed the work within a few hours as promised and even waited while I test drove the car and didn't leave till I was completely satisfied.
He came, he saw and he dealt with my problem and was a true gentleman to boot. I can't recommend Igor enough!”
