The English Mobile Mechanics

I have decided write this review after I came across the
receipt issued to me by this mobile mechanic. Though this review is late, It has always been on my mind. Anyway, I had a bad experience with this business in
December 2010. A colleague sold me an N-​reg Vauxhall corsa which I intended
to use as a run around /​project car. I decided to look up mobile mechanics online. The Bristol
mobile mechanic came up on my search with about 4 five star reviews (I later
doubted their authenticity). I called the mobile number and a young man told me he was
happy to come down and have a look at the car. I was at work so he dealt with my wife who later called me to speak to him. Over the phone, he said he had checked it all over and that
the car needed a head-​gasket change,
bumper and 1 replacement headlamps. He said the maximum he would charge me was £200.00 inclusive
of everything. So we arranged to meet on the 28^th of Dec. He (He
should be in his early/​middle twenties at the time) arrived with a bumper and a
headlamp. We talked and I made him a cup
of tea as he set about his work. Midway into his work, he started asking questions about the
black car that was parked in my driveway. Naively, I said it was mine and the
Corsa was going to be a run around. When he finished, I realised he had not put back the frontal
guide behind the bumper. I asked why and he said it was bent. I challenged him
that he told me he had checked everything. Then he became aggressive and
demanded that his fee was now £250.00. I had to give him because I did not want him to smash up or
have ideas about my black car. I was so disappointed with such dishonesty and
unethical behaviour. I regretted inviting a mobile mechanic to my home. I then later realised that he also stole the first aid box
at the back of the car. You can view the links to see picture and proof of receipt. Avoid ! Avoid! Avoid !!!
