Took 375 without doing any work it’s a rip off. Don’t use them try someone else

Reply from Alastair:

Hi Lora, to state that you have been ripped off is not correct, the radiator has been replaced on your car and the work it was booked in for has been completed. Unfortunately like I explained to you on the phone, you have another leak from the water pump at the back of the engine, I have also included a picture on the app for you to see. Regarding the fuel issue, we collected your car and drove it to the workshop but recovered in back to you on our recovery truck due to the coolant leak, we did't want to risk causing damage to you engine as you had declined the additional work needed. It is not our responsibility to make sure there is adequate fuel in your car if you know that we will be collecting the car for repairs, we tick the box when accepting a job stating for collection and delivery.

Very friendly, but when you get a quote for £510, you don't expect to pay £100 more.

Reply from Alastair:

Hi Graham, clickmechanic quoted you for the job but unfortunately, as I explained on the phone, they sometimes miss bits out. For me to do the job correctly and following the manufactures recommendations, some other parts/procedures are required. I recommended an engine flush as with the nature of these wet belt engines to clean the engine internals of belt fibers as much as possible to try and eliminate future issues and the water pump belt is required to be replaced as the old one needs to be cut off. I will contact click mechanic and advise any future wet cambelt jobs regarding this engine, that these additional items need to be included. I apologise that this wasn't the case for you, all I can suggest is that if you contact click direct and raise your issue with them. Read more
