ben was friendly didnt see his side kick who sat in the van the whole time but the problem didn't get resolved as it didn't register on the 2 scanners he had. £70 wasted !
Reply from Ben:
Hi
We plugged in 2 scanners because they both have different functions on them they both communicated with your vehicle and there was no fault codes in the system and we told you that we suspect it too be the steering column at fault but would require a Vauxhall specialist/ electrician too confirm
The mechanic that you spoke too was Callum and the “sidekick” in the van was Ben

Ben did a thorough inspection of a van I was buying. He picked up on several minor things that I hadn’t even thought about (eg lack of a spare wheel) and which would have been a pain to deal with maybe months after the purchase. Following the report the dealer sorted the issues before I picked up the van. I was initially expecting a phone call from Ben after the inspection (I think the Clickmechanic website mentioned it?). However, Ben emailed the report immediately afterwards (and reassuringly there were no major issues) so all good
