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.

Amazing guy although I do believe this is very pricey for a small quick inspection that took no less than 3 minutes but other than that I'm a happy customer

Booked via ClickMechanic to have an oil and filter change on my Kia Pro_Ceed 2.0CRDi along with a fuel filter replacement (which can be a pig of a job to do on this car).

Darren turned up on time, carried out the work with no fuss and no mess and was very professional throughout despite a short spell working in torrential rain and a thunderstorm!

The price paid was exactly the price quoted and I will almost certainly be using ClickMechanic again for any further work on my car.

Darren inspected the car diagnosed that it was the clutch cylinder however took it for repairs had cylinder fixed based on inspection - still didn't work was told that it was not the cylinder but the clutch bearings after paying for the cylinder to be fixed, now have to pay twice for bearing to be fixed - sadly very disappointed, and a costly experience.

Reply from Darren:

Many thanks for your review. But I would like to point out that your clutch master cylinder was 100% leaking I took a picture of this, I also showed your husband and he agreed. Was it the clutch master cylinder that was replaced? As there is also a slave cylinder that sits on top of the gearbox. There was air getting into the clutch line system that why if you pumped the pedal you could select gears as this would draw the air back out, nothing to do with the clutch release bearing. Regards
