Devon Auto Diagnostics , Devon | ClickMechanic

Nigel B
I began my career over 30 years ago in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) as an apprentice for 4 years. During my time I worked on the vast range of electrical and mechanical equipment and vehicles in use by the British Army from basic field equipment to tanks. I moved away from the Army and ran various automotive companies, included an engine tuning company for 12 years. I also developed air induction systems for both race and road vehicles and ran a company specialising in the new Fiat 500 range after importing the first one into the UK in 2007.

After selling my tuning company I set-up my own business, Devon Auto Diagnostics in 2013 and operate both garage and mobile services for the convenience of my customers throughout the Devon area.
The business will work on all makes/model of vehicle and tackle all repairs. I work with dealerships, vehicle fleet and hire companies as well as private individuals to perform Diagnostic and Repair work at all levels. Read more

This is my second experience of ClickMechanic and I am very impressed. Great diagnostics and resolved issue with EGR valve. Also offered advice regaring quality of diesel fuel being used as this is a likely cause. Hate to think of the cost of recovery from my home to a main dealer for repair!

helpful and friendly could have fitted the brake pads I asked for but they wold not have lasted to long as the disks where not up to much, Nigel overhauled both breaks so I could get home and get them sorted in my own time . Delighted with the results especially as he fixed the problem the day after I spotted it and we can get on our way tomorrow. Would recommend

Nigel was on time, did (what I thought was) a tricky job very well and quick - and fixed something else he spotted, all within the original quote.

A did a ring round to get local prices and CM bettered it by £100, plus it was all done at my premises.

Top job.

Nigel did a great job. He quickly analysed that the alternator was the problem then sourced and fitted the part.......all done on our driveway! Fantastic.

Alternator drive/serpentine belt replacement
Failed unit was the tensioner roller, not the alternator pulley. To replace this roller you have to take the tension off the unit and tie back to enable access. Hence the extra 36 minutes.
