Denis was great. He turned up when he said he would. Found the problem, got the car going, and told us the spare part we needed to order. All good
Apollo is professional in his field. I recommend
At last! After weeks of a faulty, non-starting car that had been seen by an M.O.T. registered garage on one occasion, I received a call from Paul, of A Dixon Autos Ltd. He did a complete diagnostic on the starter system and located the fault to the cam and crank sensors and a starter motor that was worn. He was polite, cheery and so informative of diesel engines that he gave me complete confidence that he had found the problem. Although he couldn't fix the problem on my driveway, I can now call the garage to effect repair and inform them of the fault. I can highly recommend Paul as a mobile repair technician and the R.A.C. for this service

There are a variety of reasons for a car not starting as there are many systems which effect the mechanism for starting an engine.
If your car won’t start it can be extremely irritating as there may be no way of knowing what the problem is. You may have a minor issue that you could resolve with a small amount of maintenance or it could be a major problem that requires a professionally trained mechanic to diagnose and repair.
If your car is not starting the best thing to do is get a mechanic to come out to where you live and take a look at the vehicle which you can do by entering your details in the form above.
If you would like to learn what the problem may be, read on!
If your car seems to be working fine on a dry day but won’t start when it’s raining, it’s likely that the distributer cap has moisture inside. Fortunately, this is not disastrous and will not require a huge amount of repair work from a mechanic. All that is involved in the service is using solvent to evaporate moisture from the unit.
If you think you can carry out this job and know where your distribution cap is, it is essential that you keep the following points in mind.
This is the easiest job to self-diagnose and complete without the help of a mechanic however the following issues should be referred onto a professional should you see these symptoms in your own car.
There is no way of knowing what could be causing you an issue so it is essential that you have a mechanic assess your car asap. If your car battery has died this will be an easier problem to resolve as all that is required is a jump from another vehicle.
If you need to jump start your car due to a dead battery, follow these instructions. However, don’t forget to have your vehicle checked by a local London based mechanic even if a jump start works.
If the engine starts, brilliant! Take a drive around London as this will recharge the battery.
If it doesn’t, go back and make sure the cables are all attached properly and let the other car run for five minutes or so.
If the car still won’t start, then it is likely your car has a major issue that you should get a mechanic to look as soon as possible.
