Paul E
I completed my apprenticeship at Perry's Rover in Huddersfield in 1989 and spent 6 years in the business before moving Lightcliff VW in Halifax for 16 years which specialized in the VAG group of cars such as VW, Audi, Skoda & seat/skoda this is where I spent the bulk of my mechanic career and most recently now have decided after a large demand to go self employed and become mobile and now PJ Motors auto electrics has been born! The business is able to tackle all repairs & makes/models but specialises in: Audi, VW, Skoda & Mercedes-Benz brands. I also specialise in electrics.

Paul seemed to quickly diagnose the fault but could not rectify it today.Gave me a quote for the work needed to be carried out.

This is first time I’ve used a web site such as yours. This is my experience...
The mechanic ‘Paul’ called me pretty quickly, he was knowledgeable and confident. We arranged for him to visit sooner to fit in with his schedule while he was in the area, not a problem.
He arrived as agreed early morning. Again polite and knowledgeable. He fitted his gauge proceeded to do the test to confirm that we had a leaky head gasket. After 30 mins job done and he was confident the head was leaking, which was what we needed to know.

As he was packing up I asked “how does it work with ClicMechanic?”, he replied “I don’t really get anything from them”.
I had read the quote which says “pay with the registered card etc” and I ask him do I need to do anything, he said “you owe me £17 for the fluids (What fluids??) as the quote doesn’t include the full cost”.

I handed over £17, he then said couldn’t give me a receipt “you need to email for a receipt”.

I asked him about the cylinder head job and skim required, and he quoted me a price.

I was beginning to suspect somthing was not quite right. It started out with great promise and your website worked well. I think better clarity on being asked for ‘spurious extras’ would be useful, as on reflection I shouldn’t have been asked for extra and I shouldn’t have paid any extra.
I don’t think I will be using this mechanic again

Paul's assistance was invaluable.

It was clear from the outset that he had a wealth of experience around this make of vehicle and in speaking with him I immediately felt that whatever the findings of the report, it would be both thorough and impartial.

Paul kept me regularly updated by phone and provided me with a comprehensive analysis verbally, immediately following the vehicle's examination.

In short, he (potentially) saved me a great deal of money and I would have no hesitation in recommending both him individually and this company as a whole for the pre-purchase inspection service they provide.

Excellent job, we'll done. Arrived earlier than agreed which was ok but perhaps better to stick to agreed time.

Paul fitted a new rear coil spring on my car in July, after it snapped. His comms leading up to the appointment were good and he arrived exactly when he said he would.

Sadly, despite noticing that the rubber mount was missing, Paul continued the job without letting me know. It was only when he had finished the job that he told me the mount was missing but it would be OK but might "bang like hell". As it happened I had no idea the spring didn't come with a new mount, and the old one was actually sitting in the passanger footwell. When I showed him it I was told it was "too late now" and it would require additional labour costs that I'd have to book in for.
At no point was I told that it wouldn't be road worthy without this additional work and my car has just failed it's MOT because of it. Read more

Reply from Paul:

i turned up to fit a spring..early
the spring was hanging out with half rubber there
i told yourself i was fitting this item..
i am a mechanic not a mind reader
you had 45 mins to tell me you had the rubber.instead you handed it to me at the end...
look forward to your reply
