Nick D
33 years' experience including over a decade spent working in a Jaguar Land Rover dealership, 9 of those years were as a Master (Diagnostic) Technician. I have also worked in Vauxhall, Ford, Ram and Jeep dealerships plus independent workshops, giving me the confidence and experience to work on any brand.

I have been working in Australia but recently moved back to the UK and set up Hull Automotive Ltd. offering mobile mechanic services.

Nick was punctual, courteous and apologetic when he couldn't complete the job first time. Returned today to finish fitting my brake disc. Highly recommended.

Nick was fantastic, he arrived on time, was friendly and polite, when he discovered another problem he fully explained everything clearly, it turned out my problem was not what l thought, he fixed my car and it was cheaper then the initial price, also as my car was off the road a few hours longer he even went to the shop and got the paper l needed for my elderly neighbour do he didn't miss out. I would highly recommend Nick

Nick as always was very professional. He carried the work out straight away, got another thing done out of charge and even suggested few things.
Definitely recommend.

Great job. Came ready prepared with all of the parts needed, mechanic Nick clearly knew exactly what he was doing, and job completed in super quick time.

Couldn't be happier and well worth the money.

Too early to say anything on replacement parts quality, time will tell!
Nick was on time and continued to work through bad weather. Job took longer than he had anticipated but he didn't complain. (Although he was a Jaguar Landrover trained and experienced mechanic he wasn't too conversant with the X type, they were a bit after his time.)
Still, no complaints with the mechanic.
I do have a problem with your sales methodoligy. I had to confirm and give you my bank details before I got a date and time. This left me committed to the work before I could really prioritise the date. Ideally I wanted a next day response / fix but had to pay for the maintenance before being told that it would not be Wednesday which was listed as 'limited availability' but Friday.
(I did have an offer from a local motor engineer who I had to turn down because I had already given you all my 'details'.)
This was much more to do with you getting your 'cut' and provisionally holding the money than it was to do with providing a service to me at my desired time and date. I also got three proposed costs from you. The first being £175 then £200 then eventually £215 Thats a £40 jump from initial inquiry to final cost. Please explain this to me!
Whilst that may be acceptable for bookings with a few days notice of requirement it does not really suit those who need a job doing asap. No such thing as same day service, even if the mechanic is available, which could cost the mechanics in lost job opportunities.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the review.
It was a particularly tricky job, not helped by the constant rain and hail stone. Just for your peace of mind, the alternator comes with a 12 month warranty so, if you have any problems, contact Click Mechanic again. However, I'm sure the quality will be good, I've never experienced a problem with this brand before.
Kind regards,
Nick
