Mark was great.
Confirmed the cause of the problem as the water pump, and reassured the vehicle owner that it wouldn’t be too expensive to repair.

The guy did the job required but upon further examination the remedial work was deemed economically unviable as the cat and dpf were both beyond help. So the vehicle is on its way to the big parking space in the sky.

Mark was able to determine the issue with his diagnostic equipment really quickly. If I can't find a local garage that will take on the job to fix it, I'll be taking it to Mark.

Great diagnostics. Mercedes main dealer had recommended replacing a back pressure sensor at £900 as readings wrong. Mark suggested readings may be caused by a leak in air intake to exhaust system and to get a smoke test done. He was right. Smoke test and pipe tightened up for £50 elsewhere to clear warning light and pass MOT.

4th time I've used click mechanic now and as always the service was impeccable...mark from viking autos took time to come long distance to put a diagnostics test on my daughters car as the engine management light had come on so she didn't want to drive it..Mark plugged the car in which showed 3 faults each of which he explained what the fault meant,why the fault was showing and how to fix the fault...he assured me none of the faults were serious and the car was perfectly fine to drive so he reset the system which turned off the warning light...I wasnt sure if the car had a coolant leak so mark was more than happy to pop the bonnet and check that for me. ..no leak found..he also noticed a rusty connection to one of the battery terminals and explained how I should clean that and keep an eye on it...fantastic guy with fantastic knowledge and very friendly...thanks again click mechanic and obviously massive thanks to Mark.....10/10.👌👌 Read more
