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!

Darren was courteous and actually got the job done a day early. The report was really useful but the fact that I could have a chat with him on the phone made the whole thing worthwhile for me. He was clearly knowledgeable and thanks to his expertise, I felt confident in buying the car without actually seeing it. Thanks.

Darren was brilliant, got down to work straight away and dealt with the problem quickly. I will definitely recommend “click” to my friends. A job well done.

Mark and his colleague came to install a new petrol pump but advised me that it was the relays that had corroded and caused a problem. The repair was therefore quicker and cheaper than I was expecting. The car is now working and seems fine at the moment.

Darren was very courteous, friendly and knowledgeable and diagnosed the problem quickly. He did the repair on time and efficiently (although we were'nt at home at the time). The car runs beautifully now.
The replacement fuel pump needed a gasket which was additional to the original quote - maybe this could have been forseen.

Battery & MOT - the battery was replaced and the old one taken away fine (lost radio codes however), but the MOT was not completed as he claimed that the test failed on emissions, so the test was abandoned and he said I wasn't going to be charged for an MOT. He said he was trying to save me money by doing it this way, but this was ultimately only a £14 deduction from the final bill and I didn't have any figures for the emissions to know if the work carried out previously had been successful or not. I was then given a £180 quote to do what I now have proved to be unnecessary work, I proved this by obtaining an independent MOT which it passed without any modifications at all.

Reply from Darren:

I’m sorry you wasn’t happy with the service but you booked the vehicle in for a battery replacement we didn’t advise you has you had already booked it in for a battery replacement.
In regards of the MOT you already mot’d the vehicle yourself had your own mot failure sheet and carried out all the work yourself including supplying your own parts. You cannot possibly hold myself or my mechanics reasonable for all your own workmanship this is the most ridiculous review I have ever responded to.
So to summarise the situation you did everything your self and booked the battery replacement then blame Mobile Autocare and left this unfair review .

Job done quickly. Would defently use again. Very happy with the work carried out. The part could have been cheaper. The found the same part at car euro parts over £20 cheaper.
