Rob F
My apprenticeship started in 1996 for 4 years and I worked there for a further 2 years. I left to work for a multi franchise main dealer where I gained lots of knowledge & experience. I then moved to a large second hand car dealership in South Wales where i remained for 2 years. I was then approached to run a local garage where I also qualified as a class 4 & 7 mot tester. I've been a self employed mobile mechanic since 2014 and i have workshop facilities. I also have some experience working with a bodywork repair company. I am also level 2 qualified with the IMI in Electric/hybrid vehicle systems and high voltage systems.

Can’t speak highly enough about Rob, his knowledge and professionalism. Rob called to let me know on his way, arrived and got straight down to understanding the issues I thought needed fixing. Rob ran further tests and checks to confirm what was needed and with his experience with Nissan cars realised he had a better fix for the glow plug issue I had raised. Once fixed that got on with main problem. Rob explained why the issues may have arisen and gave me a number of tips to stop/lessen the chance of repeat issues. Once the fix was complete Rob noticed my air bag light on so fixed that before taking the car for a test drive. As Rob found a better fix for one of the issues the job was cheaper than originally quoted, so not only fixed the vehicle, provided some great advice to keep things running efficiently he saved me money on the job. Robs approach and his general manner gave me confidence in him and that the job was being done professionally. Would highly recommend Rob great mechanic and top man. Read more

Rob was quick and neat, high standard of work, my only minor and I mean very very minor gripe would be he didn’t test drive the work, if he had he would’ve noticed he left the drivers side door slightly ajar and the internal light then flattened the battery overnight but otherwise his work was impeccable

Unfortunately road test wasn't carried out as it was unknown to me if vehicle was roadworthy

Unfortunately there were some small differences in the price of the parts which worked out a little more expensive than what you were quoted. I did explain this before i carried out the work but I'm sorry I didn't explain it more clearly
