I began my career Zimbabwe as a motor mechanic and spent around 6 years here before coming across to the UK. I have worked for Jaguar and Aston Martin among others and contracted to different franchised dealerships and independent dealers like Available Cars,Motor Depot etc as well as Trade Centre Wales and that has allowed me to gain great experience in all makes/models & repairs. I set-up my own business Vigilant Automotive Ltd 2016 trading as a mobile mechanic catering for all makes/models & repairs.

My mechanic was punctual and got on with the job. We had a brief chat about the work carried out and other things and he was a friendly guy. The only issue that was raised was when he finished he took it for a test drive and the abs light was staying on! There was no issue with it before so he checked a few things to see what was wrong and then He found out on he's computer that the sensor had blown so I asked if this was to do with the work carried out and he said he has never had a problem with it before. There was a bit of an awkward silence and then he said if I buy the sensor he would fit it for free so that's what happened. Whether it was just a bit of bad luck or something else I don't know because I'm not a mechanic. So I've ended up paying another £34 on the sensor. Read more

James turned up this morning bright and early and I found a place he could work off the road. 5 1/2 hours and my car was done James worked like a Trojan and I would recommend him to anyone who’s having a clutch replacement. The clutch now is so much more stronger than it has been since I had the car.

James was great. Punctual, pleasant and a hard worker. Even adjusted my clutch after he had finished as the bite was low. Nothing was too much trouble for him. Would use again.

James did a fantastic job. He arrived at my house within the first 15 minutes of my allocated time slot, and was polite and efficient whilst replacing the clutch on my car. Throughout the day, he continued to update me on his progress, and even made me aware of potential issues which may develop on other parts of my car. I would highly recommend James to anyone!
