Nigel P
I began my career with Land Rover where I completed my apprenticeship and was there for 7 years. I recently worked with a local Land Rover garage in Wimborne for 3 years . Prior to this I was working in the North Sea on oil rigs offshore for over 6 years.
In 2016 I set-up my own garage called Auto Service Wimborne, we operate a 2 ramp workshop and we cater for all makes/models & repairs.

A free collection/delivery service is available for customers within a 7 mile radius.

Please do not let Nigel get hold of your car, you will be disappointed. Originally, I was going to await the resolution from Click Mechanic before leaving this review but would not like anybody to suffer in the meantime. I had a car that had a noisy wheel bearing. I booked in a wheel bearing replacement. Nigel had my car for one month. After one month of lies and false promises, I demanded for him to just return the car. The car was returned to me in a state a whole lot worse than I took it to him in. The car is now actually too dangerous to drive. There is severe damage to the brakes, steering and other components of the car. I am unaware of the full extent of the damage until I receive the diagnostics back from the Ford garage. This will cost me a lot of money to sort. Maybe in the thousands. Obviously which I will need to recoup albeit from Click Mechanic themselves or taking my case to the small claims court. Don't think I'm giving any blame to Click Mechanic, they've been supportive thus far.

This review is only the start of the problem this work has caused me. Strangely enough, you can only seem to see the mechanics reviews here AFTER booking the work. If you're seeing this review after you've booked in the work, cancel it. Find a different mechanic.

Thank you.

Nigel was great, working in freezing temperatures. The wrong part was delivered, instead of a starter motor they delivered a alternator. So rescheduled and did a great job.

Nigel performed a per-purchase inspection on an Audi A3 for me, the buyer meet him and was happy that he attended on time and reported no problems. Nigel called after he had completed the inspection and spent a good while on the phone to me informing me about the car and what he had carried out on my behalf. I was able to view this report online a few hours later and then purchase this car having being reassured that all was ok. While I never meet Nigel his service was first class and was more then happy to answer my questions when he called. As a result of this I would be very happy to recommend Nigel and ClickMechanic a very good service.

The mechanic missed the initial appointment without any notice or contact to explain why, I found it hard to get in contact with them before reporting the problem to click mechanic. The communication wasn't too bad after that, but the work was not carried out for a further two weeks, with little to no acknowledgement as to why the job (which was very simple) hadn't been completed. The job was eventually completed with no recognisable issues, however the service charge was excessively costly and the time that the mechanic took actually working on the job was largely exaggerated on the provided quote.

He was unreliable and fail to get back to me with more information on parts needed and if he had been sorting a part out.
