Russell B
I did my apprenticeship at a garage in Swindon as I studied with Northstar College. After graduating I left and went to Charlie Browns auto services for 2-3 years. Following my time at Charlie Browns I went to work for Mr. Clutch for 3 years where I progressed from mechanic, to assistant manager, to store manager. After learning all I could from Mr. Clutch I decided to go self employed and also do mobile mechanic work, and I have been doing that for about 7-8 years now.

no work was carried out apart from a ridiculous charge for quick look to my car.
A lot of made up issues have been reported by the mechanic which didn't convince me so I personally inspected the car after he left only to find out that the only real problem was a pipe leaking coolant that I mentioned when I wasted my money booking for this useless service.

Reply from Russell:

When arriving at this job we was booked for a coolant leak diagnosic, on the diagnosis we identified the primary issue to be the coolant housing above the gearbox on the side of the engine leaking down. While also looking at the vehicle we found that the coolant tank return line was snapped, ziptied, glued and expanded foamed back together leaving residue all over the engine and pipes. We found that the clutch slave was leaking and a universal slave boot was put over the top. pictures of all problems identified was shown in person to customers wife and also sent directly via messenger. Customer first claimed we never turnt up 4 hours after the booking. Which was disproven from the photos I taken with the metadata on. And then 3 hours after that claimed he cannot find any of the problems we took pictures of, so I sent him them again. And has now after this left this review Read more

Was rescheduled twice but informed!
On third occasion was on time and the work was carried out in a fast manner, the two mechanics who replaced my wet belt were friendly and knowledgeable. All in all I would recommend
