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.

The mechanic turned up much later than his telephone call implied. Told us of an error code which we bought parts for and replaced. Finding that the error was still reading on the dash board with the same engine running fault we contacted the engineer who said he would call back to us. We offered to go to him but he said that he didn't want us to use the car on the motorway which was very thoughtful. He didn't show up. Neither has he returned our telephone calls, voice mail or texts. Extremely disappointing and unprofessional.

I am very disappointed with your review and would like to clear up the confusion.
Firstly I was not late, I attended the booking a day early as i was in the area
Secondly as I explained the fault would probably need to be reset (which i explained how to do) after faulty part was replaced (which you wanted to do yourself) unfortunately I was unable to get back to you after speaking on phone due to a personal family issue
I have not received any voicemail, txt or call nor have i been contacted through click mechanic to rearange reseting fault which is why i was under impresion you had performed the reset I explained how to do.

I take great pride in my customer service as you will see from my many other reviews. I depend on my customers repeat business and so try to do as much for them as I possibly can. I am disappointed you felt this way however If required I can come reset fault for you (at no cost to yourself) when convenient
Many thanks

While I didn't meet Rob directly he was prompt and I received the information I needed swiftly. He gave me the information needed to decide if I would like to purchase the vehicle in question and saved me a long trip there!
