  No

  his name is Catalin and came to add the turbo, then when he had to reassemble it but he said that the turbo was wrong but no it was true, you can but he said the gaskets are not good, and I left money to buy the right one that was needed to assemble the turbo. I paid for all the work and a set of gaskets, problem that he does not answer the phone, I had to take the car to another workshop to fix it because I waited a long time for him.

  Diagnosis and fitting of two fuel injectors

  Catalin Diagnosed two faulty fuel injectors, sourced the parts and started to fix the car but found the new fuel injectors he had got were broke. Came back 3 days later with two other fuel injectors, spent 3 hours fitting them at £60 an hour and £200 for the parts. Car didn't feel right driving home, Catalin came and checked it and it was fine, I drove it 1 hour to Stevenage the next day without issue. The following day the car still had the same problem, no acceleration, engine fan on and engine light on. My car is now stuck in Stevenage and I've been unable to get Catalin to come and fix it

  Car problem

  Okay where do I begin, paid this man to fix my car did not deliver I paid him he didn’t sort the problem he told me to buy a new battery which we didn’t need he told me to buy a glow plug which we didn’t need, didn’t turn up several times even though he said he would now not answering his phone. Had to take car to garage he diagnosed a sensor problem ie he hadn’t pugged the sensor in simple problem which cost us a significant amount of money when it should have been a simple problem.

  he has good tools but if he is not a good person, it's a shame

  He answered the phone and came to disassemble the turbo only that we had to wait until the new turbo arrived, now or the new turbo, only that he does not answer the phone, the worst thing is that I paid for all the work and I paid for some parts that he had to order from me. now he does not answer the phone, or he makes up an excuse not to come and finish the work, my car has not been usable for 2 weeks, it is not a good thing to screw people

  Excellent mobile car repairer

  My Ford Focus suddenly stopped starting - and Constantin and Caitlin did a great job of finding the right parts (which was not easy to given the age of the car) and then did a rapid professional job in fitting the new unit - highly recommended!

  ghosted phone calls after failure to arrive to do job

  I organised for catalin mechanics to look at the vehicle to check and validate work required on the car, which did, then he agreed to carry out the work, which would take 4 to 5 hours. We booked the date after i had purchased the parts and notified him. I received a text message stating he would be at mine by 10.30 in the morning. He failed to arrive. I messaged him, no response, so i called him, and the phone went to voice mail, i called 2 hours later and he switched the phone off, so directly to voice mail. So he ghosted me. It's obviously cost me a week in time and now has wasted a day off
