Jac was simply brilliant……he is a very polite, kind, highly intelligent but modest young man, who told me that he first showed an interest in anything mechanical, as a child so of course he tinkered with cars. Basically, he is extremely clever at fixing anything with his hands and has long dexterous fingers……a car Doctor I told him whilst we waited for the spare part to finally arrive……He just smiled, very modestly and did a full diagnostic thorough check of the coolant system, (removing the 2 poached eggs I put in as an emergency to get me home…..DO NOT DO THIS BTW) with an incontinent coolant system slowly leaking pints of water on my 90min drive from Romford…. Jac was extremely thorough, explained everthing, showed me what he did and why, which I really appreciated as an intelligent woman with a technical mind so I understood how much careful work and all the safety checks that he did v professionally and thoroughly…..clearing up and cleaning, as he worked. When he finally finished the job, having taken me with him to do a test drive and again re-checking everything was tickety boo before he left after dark….a job which took hours and hours (only because of the delay waiting for the essential part to arrive). So 2 cups of tea later, permission given to of course use of my toilet etc etc we had a LOT of time to chat. I cannot recommend Jac highly enough, he is an outstanding mechanic, very calm and totally unflappable. Jac even got a flat tyre in his own car (which he had to fix enroute back to me with the spare part)which he said is a common occurrence for a mobile mechanic. He also said he usually stops to assist other people with flat tyres if he sees them stopped on the roadside as it is so quick for him to help them with his well equipped, portable workshop in his own car but on this occasion it WAS his own car with the flat tyre. Simply a very kind human, well raised by his mother, a very clever mechanic whom has an extremely bright future…….book him honestly, look at all his 5 star reviews!!!! Read more

I would have given 5 stars out of 5 but the Brake Pad warning light is still on the Dashboard this is due to the rear pads and Discs also need replacing i did not know this at the time but would have been a nice heads up warning as the rear discs are bad

Mechanic cancelled the first appointment, then did the clutch on the second appointment and in the process broke my driveshaft and admitted he over manilulated it trying to get it out, did offer to rectify the issue the next day but having no confidence in him by now refused his offer, bought a new drive shaft at £170 and now I have a damage gearbox seal on the same side which is leaking oil on to my exhaust, my clutch was never even Road tested as it never made it off my driveway, support from Click mechanic has be useless with pointless emails between myself and the so called mechanic only, not happy at all.
Reply from Shane:
Sorry the experience was a good one, however when you have as many seized components as you had, unfortunately sometimes parts do not come out undamaged, I offered to fix the cv joint which was declined, as for the leak on the gearbox , I can send you before and after pictures of the area worked on, and you clearly had a gearbox oil leak beforehand,
Reguardless even after the fact, I still asked you how you want to resolve the issue and you did not reply after that.
