Smithson Mobile Mechanics , Surrey | ClickMechanic

Darren S
I have 8 years of experience in the automotive repair industry. I did my apprenticeship at a garage in London and have done mechanical work ever since. I worked at a garage for a few years after the apprenticeship. I eventually decided to branch off on my own and become an independent mobile mechanic. I now have my own company and I work on a mobile basis. I can work on all makes/models of cars.

I am a stickler for puntuality, communication and courteous behavior. Darren ticked all the boxes and was excellent all round.
He called to confirm the job and ask about additional parts needed that the website did not allow me to request. Very punctual arriving a few minutes before the agreed time. Carried out the work efficiently and tidily, showing me all stages as he went, as well as a recommendation for some additional work without pressuring/scaremongering.
Great service - i would definitely use again.

He diagnosed my coolant leak to be coming from auxiliary radiator correctly but the quote for the new radiator to be installed is excessive. £775 for the part and 2 hours labour for £154. Having done some research I have ordered the part for £200 (not from the main dealer but a reputable German brand Mahle) and will fit it myself. Even with my novice car repair skills it will only take me 1 hour to do it so I am sure an experienced mechanic could do it faster than I can right? I feel sorry for people who are completely clueless and would have no choice but to pay £944 I got quoted.

Very good service from Darren. My wife was late with the car but he was ok to wait for a few minutes until car was available for this work. And he returned car back home on time and I received the service report just after that. Very happy with overall service and will for sure recommend or do it again in the future.

Took it for a drive to listen to the loud clunk noise coming from the rear. Came back said he didn’t hear it, he didn’t check under the car, didn’t jack it up. Just looked in the boot and said it could be your spare wheel rattling.
I’ve just driven my car and the loud clunk, which a can physically feel too, is as bad as ever.
Seams like a total waste of £70
