I tried for 6 weeks to diy it.
Mark did it in an hour ish.
He saved me so much money on not buying things I nearly bought in desperation .
I told him so as he checked the componants.
Read his cv.
I bet he's seen the film,read the b ook and got the T shirt.
If anyone ever asks me who to use I will say this service and Mark in this area.
No one locally that I could find wanted to do it,l et alone for this fee.
Mercedes would have skinned me.
I will spread the word.
Will sleep well tonight.
Thank you Mark.

Could not have been more helpful. Explained everything well and showed some me a diagnostic fault that was causing the problem. I can now proceed with sorting it out.

Mark was ok. But didn't solve the problem really. Just cost me more money , still have the same issue I told him about before he came. So just feels like im out of pocket.

He has been really good at giving advice but as I've stated , still the same problem I highlighted at the beginning.

Reply from Mark:

The parts I told you buy were needed.
You paid me for a diagnostic inspection which I completed, the majority of which was via text over an entire evening.
I arrived within the two hour time period stated.

Nice guy, showed up and did exactly what I needed. If I break down 150 miles from home again, I would be sure to use him again.

Mark was very productive, sociable, and informative. The whole conduct of the diagnosis was very practical, efficient, and satisfactory. I would certainly recommend the service to everyone based on this visit.

Mark from Viking Autos was very professional and arrived on time. He talked me through exactly what he had found and very quickly remedied the faults on my van. I shall not hesitate to use Click Mechanic in the future.
