Gave me plenty of notice before he arrived, arrived promptly as discussed. Carried out the work efficiently, was very knowledgeable of the issue and took time to make sure the adjustment was to my satisfaction. A friendly guy who took the time to explain the issue and why it may have occurred. Would definitely recommend and use again.

The mechanic was a pleasant guy and rapidly worked through the inspection. I did note from the inspection report that vehicle did not have a cruise control when in fact it does. The report was supposed to have a photo but this was not attached. The mechanic's comments on the battery were only made after I requested this was looked at. I was interested in the diagnostic tool the mechanic used and he kindly gave me the exact details to find it on Ebay. However when I checked it out the ad said it was not suitable for diesels (which my vehicle is). It makes me concerned that the diagnostics weren't thorough or accurate.

Reply from Advanced Auto Repairs South West:

Hello.

The cheap diagnostic tool we linked you on eBay at your request is just to look at codes for the DIY mechanic and does work on diesels. I would like to stress that your comments are based on the assumption we used this scanner for the diagnoatics when in fact we use the latest Launch X431 Pro diagnostic equipment, this is a £2000 tool not a cheap eBay code reader.

Regarding the photo of the cruise control, we have checked the booking confirmation and no request was made to photograph the cruise control. Photographing the cruise control is not common practise in purchase inspection but If this had have been on the job notes it would have been done.


We test batteries using a volt meter during purchase inspections, and your battery and alternator charge were within limits. We used the battery tester after you had informed us the battery had been on charge all night and had only just come off of charge.
