I was quoted £317 to replace the clutch on my Peugeot 307. The fitters arrived 2 hours late. After they
had removed the gearbox and clutch, they then told me I needed a new clutch release fork and guide tube and that it would bring the bill up to £524. What could I do? my car was in bits and I needed it urgently. Essex Fleet Care charged me over £100 for parts that could be bought for £35 and over £100 to fit them to the clutch that was already out.How do they justify those costs. Total ripoff. They also failed to refit the inner wing properly leaving it flapping where it meets the wheelarch.
ClickMechanic is a flawed way to have your car repaired as it relies on the customers diagnosis not a mechanics.
I will not be using this service again. Read more

Reply from Daniel:

Hello.
Sorry you feel this way but we had to price the parts, collect and fit them, this took over an hour and has to be paid for.
As for the parts being £100 - I have no dealings with how much things cost.
We were late do to traffic and parts not arriving in time that morning. We did keep you informed.
Thanks
Dan

Excellent, even though he traveled quite a distance to get here he advised me that the brake discs were fine and didn't just change them for the sake of it. Carried out the rest of the work quickly and efficiently, very happy, will use again.

Not too pleased. Did the work but car still doesn't work so not sure he checked it to see. Told my wife to take it round block to charge battery then left before she could do anything. Very punctual though and did put the part in.

essex fleet was fine, just took too long and his conclusion was that he couldnt fix it !!! but charged me 57 to tell me that -not what else was needed or where to go Nothing so what a waste.

so much for your efficient skilled mechanics##

Didn't expect I would get any chance to have someone coming on Monday morning when I only sent my request on Sunday early afternoon. It saved my life!

It has changed £266 without asking me. Car hasn’t been fixed and refused to refund. Very bad experience
