I started out with my dad in mechanics in his garage learning the trade before going to college to get my qualifications. In 2002 I set-up Mobile Auto Care with my brother Lee. and the business has grown from strength to strength and we now have 10 mobile mechanics in the team who are all fully qualified. We will inform you of which of our mechanics will be attending your job when we accept it, you'll always be in safe hands! At Mobile Autocare we tackle all types of repairs and work on all makes/models of car, so whatever the issue we'll fix it!

He seemed friendly enough as he took my £60 for 2 minutes work! I only spoke to him via my mobile as he turned up at 10am Monday when he should have arrived at 5pm that evening!
Fortunately my son was at home and he called me.
Then quoted me £507 to replace the alternator, which I found out is way over the top..
All this after your website said he will be there Saturday although they don't work at the weekend!
Needless to say I wont be using your website again

Reply from Darren:

I'm extremely sorry you wasn't happy with the service but the alternator being used was a genuine BMW part a brand new non exchange unit yes I agree you can get cheaper but past experience shows cheap after market alternators don't last long and when driving BMW parts are more expensive than say compared with a Ford or Vauxhall vehicle.
Again my apologies for trying to do the correct job.

Darren was excellent. He found the fault within a very short period of time and my car is back up and running. He was delayed on a prior call out, so was considerably later than the time frame booked, which is why I cannot give him 5 stars for punctuality. However, that was not his fault and he did let me know.

I was assigned a mechanic named Darren. However, after calling him it was clear that he had been booked but unable to do the job.
He was very apologetic and made sure he invoiced me very quickly to show no work had been done.
Apart from my phone call with Darren the whole experience has been shocking and very disappointing.
The fact I have been asked how was the work carried out is a bit of a joke.
