Was early, did the job, took the car away and returned the car for no additional charge. Agreed the small cost of an additional part during the work by phone before carrying it out.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS MECHANIC. Make sure any additional jobs that this mechanic does are PRE-authorised. Do NOT give Your credit/debit card details before jobs are completed. I was quoted for a clutch replacement for 709,67 pounds yet they asked me for an additional 110 pounds WITHOUT my authorisation. Click Mechanic agreed with me:
"From our point of view and as I said previously, we would expect any additional costs over and above the customer's original quote to be discussed and agreed on prior to the works going ahead.
In this instance, as that does not appear to have happened, we would suggest a refund is offered of the additional £110.
00 cost." No refund from this garage and NEGATIVE feedback from me. Read more

Reply from Alex:

customer expected us to remove lock nuts from wheels as he lost key .machine flywheel as clutch rider to death write a report so he can claim his money back from car dealer and put petrol in .all free of charge
if he can find a garage in the UK wiling to do this will refund double

Great job and great guy.

I was told that no money would be taken until the job is completed, although I found that the money had been taken out of my bank account the day before.

An extra fee had be taken from me without my consent after, although I am yet to speak with the mechanic about this.

The guys seemed very nice friendly I haven’t et to drive the car as et .what dose this mean a bout the gearbox

Reply from Alex:

hello again
as I explained too you when we remove gearbox .I felt there was little too much play in the diff for my liking
we could check before we removed the box .so just wanted too make you aware of the poss problem
I did test drive after clutch fitted and apart from a very slight bearing noise it will be fine
