A job well done,  would have no hesitation in recommending to friends and family,  I will  be a return customer. Priced competitively.

Excellent service, I will use this mechanic all the time, I will recommend to all family and friends.

I would like to say how help full and prompt Paul was. Got the running within 24 hrs of accepting his quote. I will definitely use him again. Thank you.

Paul arrived bang on time, and replaced leaking gaskets and plugs within the hour as promised. He was very polite and friendly and made time to discuss any enquiries i had with my car. I will keep him as my regular mechanic from now on, and will highly recommend him to friends.

Very prompt service. simple and will use this company again.

Great price and service, saved me the pain of dragging my car to a garage. Will definately use again.

Fantastic service !!! Paul turned up bang on time and went about his work professionally and without fuss.
Highly recommended A*********

Total waste of time, took off for other jobs and left me to get on with it myself
Claimed a shoulder injury 1st time but managed to lift a jack with the same hand and load on his white van
Doesn't like going on the floor which was what was mentioned in the beginning,

Very professional service. 
It's pitty that I had to have a holiday and reach Cardiff to finally fix my car, however I'm glad you had time for my car so early on the day. Thank you. We've reached the National Show Caves and back to Portsmouth, and that rattling noise, I could hear when changing gears, remains just a scary memory. Once again, thank you so much

Good price, very quick and accomodating, would use again 

I thought that the car had a fault with the clutch.  Paul arrived on time and ran various tests.  He fitted a new part and then ran further tests.  Another fault was noted, but Paul was not able to do further repair work because he thinks that it is an electrical fault.   I need to take the car to Peugot.  

Very good service arrived on time and done work professionally he also found some parts did not need changing so saved us money, some garages would have still change parts to make money. We will be using him again for servicing cars in future.
Thank you.


Polite, prompt and reasonably priced. Arrived on time and discovered the issue within a few minutes. Came back the next day to fix the problem and everything is now running well. Would highly recommend and he even comes to your chosen location to carry out the work. 

Turned up on time, very knowledgeable, probably saved me a fortune because it wasn't clutch or gearbox, would definitely use again 

Very pleased. Aged car needed several repairs to pass MOT but Paul got it sorted as economically as possible. Excellent courteous service. 

Excellent service received. Can't recommend highly enough! Nothing too much trouble. My car was collected from work, serviced and Mot'd-all at very short notice with minimal hassle and all for an excellent price.
Would most definitely use again and recommend to everyone. 

Highly recommended, great service. I had a full service and MOT and replacement electric wing mirror.  No hassle and kept me informed at all times. 

Really nice guy worked hard and said job was completed ready for our weekend away to tenby. Car seemed fine but when we got home we noticed a wheel bolt missing so we phoned him up. He came out next day to tell us he forgot to tell us he hadn't put it back on and that he had broke the thread and shaft which we were obv really annoyed about as we had drove to tenby with 2 toddlers and the car was unsafe to drive. He did fix the problem without any hassle and was very apologetic. Just glad we got home safely from tenby. But wouldn't use this service again will stick to the garage.

Prompt service. Work efficiently done on my drive. Very satisfied.

called him out, took car for drive and said clutch and possibly dmf, parts ordered, told the job could be done on my parking bay, unfortunately he broke a wheel nut so couldn't remove wheel, I was asked to call someone to fix it, in the end after a few other issues I said lets just stop , it needs a garage, I paid him for the parts and booked it into a garage, the clutch was changed and dmf however it wasn't the clutch which was broke it was the gearbox so all in all a hefty bill ive paid and another one coming my way, I think he was polite and did really want to do the job but it was the wrong diagnosis of the fault and a massive bill ive paid half of it now, but a job like this and as the garages has said should not be attempted on the parking bays and needed a garage from the start, so lesson learnt for me, stick with a garage for big jobs, sorry I have to be honest I wont recommend or use his service again after the error on this scale total 640 to mobile mech and 750 for the garage its in now to fit a clutch, but I feel at ease now with the mechanics they are with

Don't normally leave feedback but was so impressed with Paul turned upon time sorted initial problem but another problem occurred kept me informed of the problem picked up the required part he could have just fitted it but didn't think it would resolve the problem ,great service will definitely use again. Thanks Paul

Great service, had to come back a few times because original problem turned out to be different. Kept me involved in the process and knew exactly what needed to be done. Very happy with work carried out.

Done everything that I requested in good time.worked hard as a lot to do.had a few problems but paul came back early the next morning and rechecked everything and I'm more than happy with the work.happy to use Paul again in the future 

First Class Service!  I haven't had a garage fix my cars for about 10 years and would have done this myself but found myself in Cardiff with no tools and a problem with the car. This was not an easy job and to do it at the roadside shows considerable skill and courage. It's an old car too so it's inevitable that when you start digging you find more little problems. I was kept informed at every stage and am very happy indeed with the results. This will be my first choice if I have any more problems when I'm down in Cardiff 

Job well done on my own drive, very convenient, would recommend without hesitation.

Can't fault him! Brilliant jobs, there's not many mechanics out there who can successfully replace a clutch on the roadside. Would definitely recommend.

Great service. Would definitely recommend and use Paul again. The price increase was only due to extra time needed to complete the work due to my rotten brake discs.

The mechanic stuck to his quote even though he did extra bits beyond the scope of the job. Explained exactly what was happening as he was doing it so not only has the job been done, but I understand it.
Thoroughly recommend Paul.

Great service on my doorstep. Cambelt replaced and waterpump. No hidden charges.  will definatly use again. 
Thank you

Castle cars mechanic Paul excellent price very polite great service arrived early definitely use again and recommend thanks 

Superb service. Quick response and very helpful. Would definitely recommend 

Great to find this guy, swift reply with every question and kept to his planned agreements. Brake disk and pads fitted at home for what a awesome price. The car was swiftly repaired .
All in all very pleased with my experience and will use for other work in the future.

I requested a quote for a Cambelt change but had been advised that the water pump would need  renewing  too.
I was quoted a final price of £240.00.Paul arrived on time & was 3 hours doing the job.I am very impressed with the work done & the service provided.
A VW Garage quoted me £450.00 & that was a special offer!
I will definitely use Castle Garages again.

Absolutely brilliant!! Paul arrived early and kept me informed of what he was doing. Suggested a new water pump as old one in right state. Timing chain and new pump fitted, all old water drained and antifreeze added. Car running perfect all in under 4 hours!! Had to buy water pump but otherwise was charged the price quoted. All done at my house. One happy son. Would definitely recommend. Excellent service

This man is the worst mechanic I have ever come across.
He replaced the head gasket on my MGF . Sealant oozing out of all joints, after getting the car back it was discovered that brackets /spacers were missing, not refitted. Loose water pipe clips even after pointing them out. I had to request that the Oil and Coolant be replaced as he had somehow completed the job without draining the engine. All so requested more money for a faulty thermostat, when the problem was that he had over filled the coolant, also there was over a litre too much oil in the engine. I am waiting for parts to replace the missing spacers and to fix the damage he did to the dipstick assembly. Summary - He is very unprofessional and I would go so far as to say dangerous. Please do not let him near your car.

I like Paul, He was half the cost of the main dealer and very competitive with other traders.
Work was done in good time with parts supplied at the price given.
This is my second time using Castle cars and no doubt will be back again 

On time very polite knew what he was doing will recommend and use paul again 

Very prompt and courteous service,always kept me informed on the work that was being done.. I highly recommend this man 

Paul was great and fixed everything within an hour and a half. Highly reccomend! 

Great service will definitley recommend, came early and gave me a great price, thank you very much, will use this service again

Garage Profile Base

An MOT is a test of your vehicle's safety, which every car is legally required to have every 12 months, once it reaches three years old.

A full service is recommended every **12 months** or every **12,000 miles**. It’s also appropriate if you think your car needs a more thorough check or it’s not performing as it should. 

A full service includes everything in an interim service, plus additional checks (60-80 in total). 

- Oil and oil filter replacement
- Brake fluid check and change
- Anti-freeze coolant
- Windscreen wash
- Power steering fluid
- Lights
- Windscreen wipers
- Battery condition
- Charging system
- Exhaust system
- Tyre tread and pressure
- Full brake check
- Steering check
- Shock absorbers check
- Suspension check
- Auxiliary drive belt check
- Wheel alignment check
- Wheel bearing check
- Wheel balance
- Brake fluid condition
- Fuel filter (diesel)
- Spark plug check/replacement (petrol)
- Air filter or cabin filter change

A full service will take around three hours to complete, but it could be longer if any problems are encountered.

The average cost of a full service booked on WhoCanFixMyCar is £178. Drivers who booked a full service through WhoCanFixMyCar in 2021 saved an average of £71.*

Full service

A full service is recommended every 12 months or every 12,000 miles (whichever is sooner). Includes everything in an interim service, plus additional checks and oil and filter replacements.

An interim service is recommended every **6 months** or **6,000 miles** - whichever comes first. 

An interim service consists of around 30-50 checks on your vehicle's condition and will typically include:

- Vehicle safety inspection
- [Engine oil and filter change](https://www.whocanfixmycar.com/parts/car-fluids-and-oil)
- Fluid check
- Top up of brake fluid, coolant and screenwash

An [interim service](https://www.whocanfixmycar.com/services/interim-service) is less comprehensive than a full service and, as a result, takes roughly half the time - usually about an hour and a half. 

The average cost of an interim service booked on WhoCanFixMyCar is £113. In 2021, drivers who booked an interim service through WhoCanFixMyCar saved an average of £43.*

Interim service

An interim service is recommended every 6 months or 6,000 miles - whichever comes first. An interim service usually consists of around 30-50 checks on your vehicle's condition.

Regular oil changes are an important part of maintaining your car engine **between services**. Most newer cars have a dashboard warning light to notify you when your oil level is low and in need of an oil change. An oil change service typically includes:

- Engine oil drained and refilled with new oil
- Oil filter replacement
- Service light reset

Oil change

Regular oil changes are an important part of maintaining your car engine between services. Garages will typically change the oil and reset the oil warning light on the dashboard.
