Darren B
Hi, my name is Darren Branch. I have been working on cars most of my life, with 21 years worth of PROFESSIONAL experience. I have long realised that it is not the actual garage that you should be putting your TRUST into. That is where I come in, I DO CARE about YOU and I DO CARE in what I do which sets me apart from the rest along with my EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE and PASSION for my job. My work represents ME and MY business which makes it QUALITY work EVERYTIME.

He was great. Done the work on the driveway so no need to move the car or wonder when we were going to get it back.

Darren was absolutely amazing, he was extremely knowledgeable in his work and clearly very passionate at his job. I’ve taken a drive this evening and the feel of the driving is definitely noticeable - I feel more comfortable and safer with the work he’s done. He was honest and upfront with me about the unfortunate situation with my car but felt like it was in good hands.

Darren was great. He worked fast and everything was perfect with the work he carried out. After driving over 400 miles this weekend just gone, I can say the car is running perfectly.
Darren did better than the garage I took my last car to when I had the cambelt done on that, and to have done that on a drive is very admirable!

Darren told us here would be at ours between 8 to 10 it was 9.50, the work carried out was good and sent photos of the work carried out. However after inspection we noticed my under tray was missing, we called Darren he said he had the under tray and would come back and fit it if we wanted it back on the car, and it wasn’t needed on the car. He then said he would come back the next day to fit it. But after about 5 calls and text the following day we realised he wasn’t coming to fit our under tray that he had taken of my car. He then text us the next day to say he was sorry and had rebooked us for 9am the following Thursday over a week after doing the initial work, and him being uncontactable while the issue was being dealt with. We have now raised a complaint with Click Merchanic. Read more
