The most honest mechanic I have dealt with so far.
The initial quote 580£ came down to 100£ since the Turbo was not broken as I thought but just a turbo pipe clamp broken.
So I asked, please check the car and let me know what else needs attention and Paul sent pictures and videos where I could see and listen what was wrong. Clutch and flywheel weren't good and a very annoying noise that was driving me crazy every time going over a bump, turned out to be a front spring coils seriously damaged, which made the car even dangerous to drive.
I paid in total 887£ but more than happy since several problems were solved. The car is now spot on, no noises at all and more clutch traction I can easily feel. For the initial problem, the turbo pipe clamp broken, I wasn't charged at all since I went for the rest of the work. Car was picked up and delivered to my work location at not charge.
I got this car about 2.5 months ago with fresh MOT before it broke down. I'm just wondering how did it pass that MOT with a spring coil damaged. I just think it was a good thing for that clamp to break, perhaps I wouldn't be writing this review if the spring coil fully breaks on the Motorway at 70 miles per hour. Needless to mention the risk for other drivers and families too.
AKI Motors is going to be my garage from now onward, no doubt about it.
Thank you Paul, I really appreciate it.
