He was very knowledgable as a mechanic and explained things very well and simplified. He also turned up nice and early meaning before we arrived to look at the car he had already done his work which was convenient. But he did also say that the car drove fine which it really didnt. Took the car up to 50mpg on country lanes, did a brake test and the car nearly took me and 2 of my closest friends off the road, when i broke the car swerved quite a bit to the left leaving me to correct by steering to the right and re-adjusting break pedal pressure. Scary car considering it ‘drives fine’. Other than that like i said this guy really did know his cars and gave me good advice, he put alot into perspective for me including what it may cost me to put the rust right, just a bit confused how he missed such a big thing. We didnt buy the car in the end we were all shaking after the test drive and i probably wouldnt have driven it if he had mentioned this. Communication was ok, he talked over me a few times in conversation when i had questions but maybe he couldnt hear me because it was bad signal i have no way of knowing really. Never saw the bloke though so maybe it would be a better customer experience if the mechanic speaks face to face with you next time instead of just leaving 10 mins before we arrive. Oh well what can you do? Read more
Reply from Dorset/Hampshire:
As i told you its a old car with a engine noise.in fact 30 years old and hasn't been used for a number of months. That noise as i told you, meant the car went on a slow test drive. a short gentle test drive.and recommend to you to trailer it not to drive it.i never performed an emergency stop because of the issues.so taking a car up to 50mph and slamming the brakes on when advised not to.im.glad you took my advice on condition but sad the advice not to drive it wasnt taken up.
Your very lucky that the engine didn't suffer sudden failure driving it up to that speed.
When a mechanic says it shouldnt be driven until recommissioned there is a reason for that .

Friendly, knowledgeable and quick to get the job done. Kept me up to date with the time he would arrive. Halfords had previously tested my battery and said it was fine. But I continued to have days where the car wouldn't start. James took one look at the battery and knew it was no good. New battery supplied and fitted.
