Robert M
I began my mechanical career with Vauxhall where I completed my apprenticeship and worked over the course of 8 years before I went into the family business with my father back in the 90s, named MC Son Autos. I now run and own the business solely as a mobile mechanic using the latest diagnostic equipment as well as a wide variety of testing tools.

With being mobile, I am able to come and carry out all works at your location of choice, be it at work to ease transportation issues or on your driveway, meaning you don’t even have to leave the comfort of your own home.

I have specialist knowledge of Vauxhall, Land Rover, Mercedes, Ford, Jaguar, BMW and Volkswagen vehicles, however, having more than 20 years of experience in the motor industry means that I have worked on all makes and models over the years with ease.
I am a level 2 IMI qualified technician who holds a clean licence as well as a trader’s policy insurance and public liability insurance. Read more

Robert was a breath of fresh air. Very friendly and explained everything in a way I could understand. I was very impressed with the way Robert worked, fast, efficient and no mess. Didn’t even drink the tea I made him until after he had finished the work.
Would definitely recommend.

This has to be the biggest con! The website promotes an idea that their mechanics are highly trained, that there pricing is 50% less than a franchised dealer. I’m sure Robert sort of knows what he is doing however my experience was awful, firstly he was an hour and half late, had to then listen to a list of excuses. He then proceeded to perform a diagnostic using a screwdriver butted up to my engine which is a pretty primitive approach. He couldn’t perform a computer diagnostic as his software was out of date, had to listen to more excuses. He did demonstrate that cylinder one was creating a spark so he then decided that the issue was a timing belt being off although he had already told me this is what he thought it was before arriving. At that point he said he was done (£60.30 to have some one hold a screw driver to your engine?!?) and I’d receive a quote for the repair. 30 mins later a received a quote for £628 (Robert phoned wanting the work but admitted he hadn’t ever done this install (not very inspiring). I’ve now discovered the same job would cost £225 from Honda. Robert told me via text that they not only charge for labour but they also add money on to parts purchased, basically he and this company are out as he said “to make money” nothing to do with customer satisfaction. So why does this company put so many interesting promises, I can only guess to convince you or I to part with large sums of money that in reality you could get elsewhere. I’d never use the company again and I’m determined to get my money back. I will be going to the main dealer whom I’m sure will expose Robert as a bit rated mechanic. Stay away from this fraudulent mechanic and this con of a company unless you wish to throw your money away. Read more

Reply from Robert:

Hi Stuart, as I am a independent sole trader working on behalf of clickmechanic and have been for over three years know and have been consistent In completing over 400 successful jobs over the course of my contract. I gave you the best of all my knowledge both verbally and hands-on which you were present when doing so you even agreed to my out come of diagnosis and was happy at the time..
I understand your frustration with a previous work carried out by another garage who diagnosed it and made you spend extra money which never solved the problem, that's why you seeked out another technicians advise which I was able to provide, I just like to add I'm normally right with my diagnosis and if I were not right I wouldn't have charged you for the booking, as I'm feeling very confident I'm sticking to my diagnosis on this note and do hope you update me when you have the outcome of the problem, kindest regards rob.

Robert did a fantastic job on fixing my car, I would recommend and would defiantly use him again. He certainly knows his knowledge of cars and gave me loads of advise.
I would defiantly recommend his to friends. It was much more convenient having someone coming to my property to fix my car.

Robert recently carried out a pre-sale inspection for me on a Category D car. I obviously had reservations about purchasing the car due to its history and wanted someone competent to give it a thorough check before parting with my cash. From the outset of my dealings with Robert, he was very communicative, and made me feel at ease and confident in his knowledge of the mechanics of many different makes of car. After the inspection had been carried out I called Robert for an update and he gave me a verbal assessment of his findings, which were very detailed. The written report came a few hours later with photos attached. I'm happy to say that on the basis of his inspection and the peace of mind that this gave me, I will purchase the vehicle. Hopefully I've got myself a really good deal. I would recommend Robert for all things mechanical. Read more
