Vipul S
With over 20 years in the automotive industry, I have extensive experience working with all types of cars, from everyday vehicles to premium brands. I gained broad multi-brand experience during earlier roles, diagnosing, servicing, and repairing a wide range of vehicles. I then specialized in BMW, spending seven years as a Technician, focusing on diagnostics, servicing, and MOT testing. Since 2021, I have been self employed, working at main dealers and various companies BMW, Mercedes, and VW, providing expert repair, diagnostic services and MOT testing.

We paid for a premium pre-check before buying a used car. The mechanic was polite and punctual and confirmed the car had no issues, stating in his report that the clutch was 'as new.' Based on this, we went ahead with the purchase.

On driving the car, we immediately noticed the clutch felt wrong, with a very high bite point, and the brake fluid was half empty. The manufacturer later confirmed the clutch needed replacing, as well as a rear brake calliper.

When I raised this, the mechanic defended his report and said everything seemed fine at the time. I find this unacceptable given what was later discovered.
His premium check failed to identify serious faults that were clearly present. Read more

Reply from Vipul:

Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear about the issues that appeared after your purchase.

The inspection on 8 July reflected the vehicle’s condition on that day. The clutch and brakes performed normally, the brake fluid level was within range, and no leaks or symptoms were present. Any detectable issue would have been reported.

The concerns were raised four months after the inspection, and faults can develop in that time, especially on cars that have been sitting unused.

Based on the condition observed at the appointment, the report was accurate.

Vipal arrived as arranged and on time, with everything needed to do the service and fit new disc’s and disc brakes to the front wheels. He was very polite and explained everything that he was doing, keeping me informed of progress as he went along.
I would have no hesitation in recommending him, should you require work doing at a very reasonable price and in a speedy manner.

Vipul was very polite, informative, set about doing the job competently and displayed a wealth of experience. Vipul put some effort into resetting the cars warning system before road testing the car. I will definitely be using Vipul in the future.
