Simon S
I spent the first 7 years of my career building vehicles from ground upwards including replica vintage taxis and helping the customers keep them road worthy and doing on site repairs when needed.
I then moved on into restoration of classic cars and ran a local village mot station alongside side doing servicing, mot repairs and general mechanical and diagnostic work on classic and modern vehicles.

From 2013 onwards I have worked mainly doing fleet contracts, repairing a fleet of vehicles for a large company covering all aspects of keeping the vehicles going and getting them back on the road, along side this I have looked after a private collection of classic and modern high end vehicles for a client for the past 11 years.

All went well. He arrived on time and was honest about the chances of getting my 20 year old car's air conditioning working. However, we agreed to give it a go, and everything went well. Successful job, all done in about 40 minutes.

Simon Short was very polite, diligent and informative. He came over as being friendly and knowledgable on the needs of my car repair.
I will certainly use him again the next time I use ClickMechanic.
I am confident the work has been carried out professionally and competently though I have not been able to check it under the car so time will tell.

Simon was great, he was very quick and efficient. He was patient while I moved my neighbours car so he could park in front of my car. He even saved the space and waited for me to bring my neighbours car back so they didn’t lose their parking spot. Very polite and did a fantastic job
