FANTASTIC SERVICE

Very pleased with the level of expertise and honesty provided.
Elliot turned up on time and was quickly able to tell me what was wrong with my car and exactly how much it would cost, all within 10 mins of him arriving at my property. The price he quoted was very very reasonable and much cheaper than a garage. Elliot went and got the parts need to repair my corsa and had me back on the road, this was all within ONE HOUR. As a single woman who knows nothing about cars Elliot put me at ease with his honesty. I would recommended this mechanic 100% and will myself be using him again.

Excellent reliable mechanic

When you need someone rather urgently, it can be hit and miss if you have no knowledge of the mechanics listed, thankfully I picked Elliot and he was excellent. Kept me informed of when the he would arrive and when he did, even though it was something simple he was very pleasant, quick and efficient. Would recommend him to anyone who requires an honest, speedy and and reliable mechanic.

Rescued in time of need

After trying many times to get a mobile mechanic I received a call from Elliot to say that he could come and help me with my car which was broken down on the drive.
He arrived soon after and diagnosed the faulty starter motor.
He took off the starter motor and went and collected a new one brought it back and fitted to my car al within the hour which was fantastic because I had to pick up some disabled young people that afternoon for therapy.
Throughout Elliot was professional caring and considerate to my needs and I doing a good job.
I have no hesitation in recommending Elliot to others in the future.
Thank you Elliot

Extremely reliable, efficient and very reasonable price :-)

The car was running perfectly over the Christmas break- but Saturday night, the car power steering pump gave up the ghost! Apparently, this appears to be a fairly common fault on my particular car model, a Ford Focus 2008, due to an inferior power steering hose fitted at factory.
I looked on yellow pages for various mobile mechanics, as I was back at work on Monday. I left a message with Elliot on Sunday morning, and he immediately called me back, to discuss the problem. He was very reassuring, and said he would be able to look at the car the following day, on Monday morning. We arranged a pick up time, and Elliot took the car away and confirmed the problem. I was given a price...and it was A LOT, and I do mean a lot more reasonable than other prices I had researched. Elliot kept me informed every step of the way regarding progress and getting the car back to me.
It was such a good experience, and I have already passed on some business cards, as I have no hesitation in recommending Elliot to my friends and family. I know where I am going for my M.O.T in March :-)
Thanks Elliot, the car is running well again...and no longer sounds like an F1 car/milk float :-)

Didn't come but explained reasons so ok.

He didn't turn up but explained that he had a family emergency so can understand why, communication could have been better but would not put anyone off using him in the future.

Honest, reliable, Punctual, and very reasonable prices

My wife had a issue with her Ford Focus Immobilizer , Spoke to various mechanics on the phone this guy quoted me £30 for him to come to our home and check and attempt to fix the issue, everyone else i called was quoting at least £75 , so guy turned up on time and asked us what problems we had, within 20 minutes he had diagnosed the issue ( Problem With the security chip in the key he then quoted me £120 to replace the chip and reconfigure , this also was at least £50 less that i had been quoted. Just before i said ok replace the chip he said do you have a 2nd key to my amazement he said dont bother replacing it then ( whereby doing himself out of £120 ) just use your 2nd key and replace at a latter date if you find you need to. Also while he was messing with the original key he replaced the battery at no cost . Would use him again in fact he is going to service the car in question when it needs it in November , Cannot recommend this guy enough.

Honest, reliable and very reasonable prices

I called to get my car serviced and MOT'ed. Elliot could fit me in without having to wait ages. He turned up on time and on agreed date, he didn't let me down. He collected my car from my work place and bought it back to me. I had a call to tell me what needed changing and what didn't as I don't do high mileage (main dealers would have just changed and charged me.) He found out the costing for the new parts and called me back with the price including fitting to see if I wanted to go ahead. As a single woman I felt that Elliot is honest and trustworthy. Will defiantly use him again.

Damsel in distress!

I have used Elliot's services a few times to keep my faithful old car on the road at an affordable price. I had a flat tyre recently and Elliot came out and changed my tyre had it repaired and delivered back to me. It is the little personal touches that count!

fantastic

After phoning elliot on the Monday he arrived to me within the hour and diagnosed the fault with my car which he had found to be a faulty injector. Elliot went and fetched the part and not long after I was back on the road, it's so refreshing to have a mechanic I can rely on to fix my car at the fraction if the price of a main dealer, I will definitely be using him again.
