They match thousands of customers every month with trusted professional mechanics in cities across the UK. Their instant quoting functionality, fast booking and secure payment makes them thesimplest and most convenient way to book a car mechanic.ClickMechanic was founded in 2012 as a simple solution to the age-old problem of getting an honest, trustworthy and transparent mechanic for your car. While running a previous car parts aggregator business, Andrew found there was a problem with many customers not trusting their mechanics. After further investigation and a chat with his mechanic brother he realised there was just no easy way to book a trusted mechanic. He then decided to study a research masters in Manchester where he devoted himself to understanding these problems better. After writing an 85,000 word thesis on the space he moved to London to join accelerator EF where he met Felix who had identified these same problems. The pair decided to then team up and develop ClickMechanic with the goal of building the easiest and most transparent way for car owners to book trusted mechanics.
