Darren P
I completed my apprenticeship at a small garage in Nottinghamshire called Underwood Garage and after my apprenticeship I worked in the business for 5 years. I worked in recovery after the garage as a dedicated recovery agent and the business had contracts with big companies such as AA and the RAC etc. I moved Securicor Vehicle Services in Nottingham for 5 years looking after the fleet of vehicles varying in vans to lorries. In 2011 I was in partnership with my brother and we owned a garage for a number of years and in 2013 I went mobile myself trading as D Pyart Mobile Mechanic. The business caters for all makes/model of vechicle and I tackle all types of repairs.

Previously booked Maz in Sheffield and he was terrific so thought we would use click mechanic again as buying a used car especially an old one can be risky . Use an experienced mechanic to check it out so we don't buy a rusty bucket I thought .

Mechanic text me confirming 8:30 he then arrived at 9:05 I have the text message . He blamed traffic and said he had a slot of 8am to 10am . Don't confirm a specific time then ...

Arrived at 9:05 left at 9:30 to fill out forms until 11am . Sounds weird to me . Surely the looking at the car would be the main part of the inspection but turns out it's the admin

Raised a complaint through resolution centre and we went round in circles .
He maintains he completed a 105 point check and road test within 30 minutes . I find this hard to believe and definitely wouldn't pay 78 quid for it . By my maths that means he checked 5.25 items per minute. Speedy . And a 10 minute road test is laughable .

Needless to say we bought the car ( 2003 yaris ) and engine light came on the same day we bought it . It's booked in the garage for tomorrow . Cracking work . Could have used the 78 quid I spent on Darren and just sent it straight to the garage . Waste of money and complete false advertising on click mechanics behalf . You do not get what you're paying for. Avoid .

Reply from Darren:

Thanks for feedback unfortunately it’s not realistic ,if it were we could act to change things in future the inspection alerted a number of defects which are to help make you aware but doesn’t automatically warranty a 15 year old car which is at higher risk than a newer car problems are part of buyer the lowest end of the market unfortunately ,but after running engine for 20 minutes or so then 10 minute road test no faults were apparent thanks for taking time to leave feedback good or not so good

Happy with inspection as mechanic was able check the over a car on my behalf so I could make a decision whether to purchase the car. Mechanic was informative and knowledgeable, phoning me as soon as inspection was completed.
