Unfortunately we hear these stories all the time, “the tyre fitter diagnosed my car as needing a new alternator”🤦🏻♂️ “the mobile mechanic was recommended to me by random strangers on Facebook”🤷🏻♂️ sometimes the guess works out for them but most of the time it doesn’t and the customer ends up paying for the mistakes. This is why we test and don’t guess! 2 mechanics👀 told this holidaymaker that they needed a alternator, When that was fitted incorrectly with no refund! They came to us to help as they are stuck with a broken car and have to drive home today. Thankfully we were able to diagnose and repair the shorted cable within our initial diagnosis charge time and get them back on schedule for heading home. Main alternator cable crimp repair with a double layer of glue lined heat shrink for corrosion resistance and loom tape to protect against abrasion then secured back into the correct cable holder.
