 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mechalex recently completed a DSG and Haldex service on my TT. I’m really pleased with the work carried out and the service I received. They were friendly, knowledgeable and professional throughout, and I felt confident that my car was in good hands. I would definitely trust Mechalex with any future work my car might need. Highly recommended!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service from Mechalex! Alex recently carried out a DSG service on my VW California, alongside a cambelt change, DSG service, and oil service on my Audi A6. Alex is professional, efficient, and clearly knows his stuff when it comes to VW and Audi vehicles. The work was completed to a high standard, and the communication was great throughout. Highly recommend Mechalex for any specialist servicing or maintenance!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a knocking sound coming from my car after having some work done by another garage so was looking for a reliable person to take a look at it and hopefully diagnose the issue. I found Mechalex through a google search and after reading reviews thought I would give them a try.
All I can say is I was not disappointed, Alex quickly found and fixed the fault that the previous garage could not find.
Finding a garage you can trust with your car is a rare find but I am hoping I have found that in Mechalex. I will be confidently using them again and would recommend them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had an issue with the DSG transmission on my VW Arteon and after issues with my local garage came here to have it looked at. Alex and his team identified the problem and fixed it quickly. Trustworthy and fair price. Nice guys too. Highly recommended!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was referred to Mechalex by a friend when I was struggling to find someone to sort the alternator on my Tiguan. I’ve since been back with several other issues I’ve had with it and they’ve sorted them really quickly and at a reasonable price. I’d recommend them to anyone needing a reliable local mechanic
