Job done at an extremely good price (almost 1/3rd of main dealer cost) Car picked up and delivered back. No complaints at all. Will certainly use again and recommend to anybody.
Fantastic service from Auto Solutions. Collected my car and re-delivered to my house fixed within 48 hours. Price rose slightly by my own choosing due to them suggesting having the timing belt replaced whilst they had already stripped the car back. Highly recommend them and will likely be using them again in the future, super fast service.
good service, friendly people. Replaced timing chain, filters and all tippers. No more rattling noise when I drive!!
Yes. This exceeded my expectations. They were very quick in fixing my break pads. Would highly recommend them.
Car was serviced as required only took 90 mins
All good.
Excellent services. In constant contact with Patrick was collected and return as stated. Price quoted was the final price. Patrick also touched up a couple of chips on the door edge and a smaller scrap on the back bumper ( within the quoted price). Totally satisfied with the finish and the expertise of the company. Would totally recommend them.
Great garage! Good guys who are professional and efficient. Will definitely return and recommend to everyone.
Very competitive price, handy location for me. Patrick is very nice fella, very helpful, sourced good quality (Bosch/Brembo) discs and pads. Job was completed speedily.

This is a fantastic group of people. I used to use them but have moved further away and had a terrible experience with a different garage. When I used WhoCanFixMyCar.com I learned that Pool Street will come and collect and return your car even as far away as I am. Much appreciated and unlike most they always stick to their word and don't charge for diagnosis or advice.
Great service, will be using again!

Had my alternator & battery replaced at Ace car sales and couldn’t be happier. My car was picked up at lunch time and returned the same evening free of charge. I had been quoted between £250-£300 for the alternator alone elsewhere and this garage Replaced both for £185! Highly recommended!
I would recommend mobitech they were very polite and helpful and will be using them again in the future
Great service from this garage they collected the car and delivered it back at no extra charge fast and friendly service and will definitely use again thanks
Very please with both price and service. Mechanic seemed knowledgeable and friendly and I would not hesitate using them again for future jobs on my car. There are closer garages but this business offers mobile mechanics and a pick up/drop off service a for a very reasonable price. Parts and labour guaranteed for 12 months. Thanks guys. Sean Smyth.

Here are some of the most common signs that your alternator is on the blink:
The average alternator repair cost is between £250 and £300, depending on the car you drive, so it’s important you make sure you find the best deal. And that’s where we can help.
An alternator is a generator of electric power in your car and is a major component of your vehicle's charging system.
Whenever your engine is running, the alternator charges your battery and supplies additional electric power for the vehicle's electrical systems.
An alternator is attached to the engine and is driven by a drive belt (also known as a serpentine belt).
The alternator is a vital part of the electrical system as it delivers the power necessary to keeping energy running through the system.
If your alternator has failed, your car battery will soon lose power.
Alternator problems can be a major problem because a car cannot actually start without power in the battery. This is because the starter motor requires electricity to get the engine going.
Starter motor repair can be included in an alternator repair though it may have to be replaced if there has been a serious electrical problem caused from a broken alternator.
On average, an alternator can last for 8-12 years without any repairs. If an alternator fails, the car may still run on battery power alone for a short time, but will die as soon as the battery charge is depleted.
Replacing an alternator with a new unit is quite expensive, though alternator prices will change depending on the vehicle.
Alternator price is shown at the top of this page when it comes to the average cost, however, the only way to get accurate know how much is an alternator repair, is by entering your details in the box above.
