“Ben was great. Precise 30 minute time slot and gave me a call when he was 5 minutes away. He was polite and friendly. I have struggled in the past to obtain a stop-start battery and get it fitted. Found the click mechanic site and was delighted to find they could do this. Put the work order in late Friday afternoon and all done by 10:30 on Saturday. So relieved to have it sorted just before Christmas.”

“I think the work done was great. He was supposed to change the Wish bone but he might have realised it doesn't need change so he redirected the funds to fixing something else that has to do with the breaks. He did call me to brief me before proceeding.
I was bit unsatisfied about the change of booking date the second time without prior notice. He did give me notice on the first change.
