Saw that Toffeenose and Wirral is a very small place, particularly with Wiki Wirral. What a rouge he is/was.

Omg im shocked. Mike has been dealing with all our familys cars for years and years. its only been the last couple of times which he has been shit and has not fixed the problem. my mum and sister only a couple of days ago have seen him. he wasnt too pleasant to my mum either. cant wait to.let them know in the morning that hes been on that show. we thought something was going on x

Loved the line "Ladies form an orderly queue".

What a complete and utter idiot . . . if someone spoke to my daughters the way he spoke to the young girl with the mini I would make sure he ate through a straw for a while.

Sexist horrible cretin who hopefully after tonights show will go bust.

Where is his garage? or does he work from home?
Posted By: Driver Re: Mike the Mechanic from Serpentine Rd - 25th Oct 2012 12:17am
Saw a bloke waddling down the road before and I though I knew his face and for some reason didn't like him but for no reason!
I think it might have been that I was watching watchdog before I left the house and have just put 2 and 2 together...

Gives mechanics on a whole a bad name should be ashamed!

People like this make my blood boil, the horrible dirty little scrote.
At least he hased now lost his customers.
Posted By: Nigel Re: Mike the Mechanic from Serpentine Rd - 25th Oct 2012 9:53am
I saw that on Watchdog, he might as well pack the business up now cos the program will have a dramatic effect on his takings! Honesty is the best policy!
Posted By: sunnyside Re: Mike the Mechanic from Serpentine Rd - 25th Oct 2012 10:34am
I saw this man on watchdog last night,why do the tv always pay out, then confront the culprit? surely it would be better to confront and not pay them, they get exposed and in later shows you see them again, doing exactly the same thing. Whats the point,also can't believe some people are so stupid with wads of cash in some cases,surely alarm bells should go off. These people should be prosecuted,surely.
Posted By: chriskay Re: Mike the Mechanic from Serpentine Rd - 25th Oct 2012 11:56am
What a very unpleasant person. I seem to remember seeing that he was propping up the tailgate on hos Volvo estate with a broom handle; hardly a good advert.
Posted By: BandyCoot Re: Mike the Mechanic from Serpentine Rd - 25th Oct 2012 3:17pm
Got seen off many years ago by a "mechanic" and always used the manufacturers agents since then, a bit dearer but at least you have a come back if things do go wrong. It's a pity because I'd much rather support someone who is a one man band so they can make a living but bad asses like that jellybelly get them all a bad name. C'est la vie.
Posted By: Bobario Re: Mike the Mechanic from Serpentine Rd - 25th Oct 2012 5:11pm
"I wont tell daddy, if you dont tell daddy".

I was looking for a mechanic a while ago and he was the first one that came up on Yell. But he'd had that many shit reviews i went to someone else in the end. Thank god, I wouldnt let that horrible get near my pushbike never mind my car.

How would one go about that!?
Posted By: Dilly Re: Mike the Mechanic from Serpentine Rd - 26th Oct 2012 2:35pm
Different people could ring him saying they had broken down , and have him running all around town. Forget running, should have said driving, fat b;;stard could not run.

This.

make up a story about brakes etc then sit back and wait. Wouldn't even have to touch him because if enough people do it his fuel and time will be so badly hit then he'll suffer for it in the pocket and a man like that cares only for one thing.

lock the fat Thieving perv up .
Posted By: sam15 Re: Mike the Mechanic from Serpentine Rd - 26th Oct 2012 7:29pm
There is an easier way. If no one rings him then he won't make any cash.

Ah..but that lacks the "fun" factor.
Posted By: jenscho Re: Mike the Mechanic from Serpentine Rd - 26th Oct 2012 9:48pm
Looking on his page on yell.com it looks like he has slightly changed his company name and phone number, so, beware!!!

They have to get evidence before they can charge him - all costs are reimbursed through the court, TS only take on cases they know they will get a conviction. smile

I have just been to the boot sale at tranmere rovers, and there was Mike the so
Called mechanic selling tools. Just a heads up please don't buy from him.
Posted By: Willo_ Re: Mike the Mechanic from Serpentine Rd - 24th Aug 2014 10:36am
i seen him there loads of times, the best way to get him to move fast is, get your phone out and tell him you've got someone who wants to see him, and start making a call on your phone.

He packs up and drives off.

Don't you think this is a bit bullyboy tactics. Has this guy ripped you off personally or is it a bit of a vendetta as he has a bad name.
The fact he is selling his tools would say he is moving on, maybe I'm wrong.
I'm sitting on the fence with this one as I don't know the full facts, but there is,always more than one way to skin a cat...as they say.....

Yes you are wrong, he is still trading and the tools he is selling are not the ones he uses. Put Mike the mobile mechanic into google then come back to me !

Dilly instead of hounding someone, think this is called harassment,and if necessary can be deemed an arrestable offence, take positive action and seek legal advice through a solicitor.

As,I asked in my previous post on this thread " has he ripped you off personally"

Again you are going off topic, please get back on track
