“Brilliant service was beside myself in panic”

Hi Bridgette, Thank you for your review! We're pleased to hear that you found our service brilliant in a moment of panic. If there’s anything else we can do to support you or make your experience even better, please let us know. Warm regards, Team Fuel Fixer

“The guy was great, that came to clear it but was told I'd have complete clear out and car tested for any faults and other services, but was only done for the fuel to be drained, was a 10 min job for a quote of £400 which ended up £250 absolutely rip off for what was done”

Hi Andy, Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear our technician was great, but we regret that the service didn’t meet your expectations. We strive for transparency in our offerings, and I’m sorry that you felt misled regarding the thoroughness of the service. In listening to the call made, we notice that the price was lowered considerably ie we gave a price for a non-started even though you had started the vehicle, we also took out the call-out fee as you would have been en route for our technician heading home etc ie we did what we could to accommodate any financial issues at the time. It was also stated that the technician would determine if a fuel line flush was needed. Based on his observation on site, a flush was not necessary, and this would also mean that a diagnostic check was not, as no contamination had gone into your vehicle's fuel lines. We appreciate your insights and are here to assist with any other questions you may have. Warm regards, Team Fuel Fixer

“Cleared fuel. Car unable to start. After many try’s engineer gave up. Saying the problem was not wrong fuel. Which it was. Turbo charger failed when I got the car to start. Wasted circa £450 which I should have saved for a proper Motor Engineer to resolve”

“Rude, confusing & unprofessional - My employee had mistakenly filled up our diesel vehicle with unleaded and Initially the service was great with a very quick response time. However, as soon as the job was complete which was 12.44 and after already paying the initial fee , at 12.45 I received a call from Fuelfixer to settle the balance, this happened as I was entering a clients house to do a quote (which I was running late for due to the incident). I mentioned this to fuelfixer and they agreed to call me back in 45 minutes once I had left my clients home to take the payment. Unfortunately within 10 mins I started receiving calls from fuel fixer which I initially ignored as I was with a client. They kept on calling constantly one after another with no pause until I had no choice but to answer at 13.06. I explained that I was stood with a client and that I had already spoken with them where they had agreed to call me back at 13.30. There was no compassion at all from Ryan and instead he was challenging and argumentative towards me which was not only embarrassing for me whilst I was stood next to my client but could also have an impact and on the outcome of whether we get the job or not. Rude, confusing and unprofessional. 0 stars for politeness & communication. 4 stars for response.,”

“The actual technical service guy, as was the work he did, was great but their sales tactics stink.”

Helpful Report

Hi there, Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We're pleased to hear that our technician provided great service, but we genuinely regret that your experience was marred by our sales tactics. We would appreciate you taking the time to let us know directly how you feel we could have done better. As this review has been left under "Anonymous", please contact us on aftercare@fuelfixer.co.uk to give us more details - without that, we are not able to listen to the call recording for training purposes. Best regards, Aftercare Team Fuel Fixer Limited

“The job itself was fixed to our satisfaction. However the manner of the technician that attended could be greatly improved. His manner was perceived as a rude and intimidating. This experience could be improved by your technician showing empathy and respect. He could also consider building on his listening skills to deliver a better customer experience.”

Hi Anne, Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that the job was resolved to your satisfaction, but we sincerely regret that your experience was overshadowed by the technician’s manner. Your comments about empathy and respect are invaluable, and we will address these points with our technician to ensure that all interactions reflect the high standards we aim for. It's important to us that our customers feel supported and heard. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope to provide a better experience in the future. Best regards, Aftercare Team Fuel Fixer Limited

“The Gentleman who turn up drained the wrong fuel which was great. But then did not have the right tool set to take certain pipes off or the knowledge to get the car started so I had to arrange for the car to be taken my local garage which cost me another £250 and them to top it off to only took them 5 minutes to get the car started by taking off a completely different pipe to which the Fuel fixer mechanic tried. So I was not very impressed with having to pay the £250 transport which was due to lack of knowledge. Regards Mark”

Helpful Report

Hi Mark, Thank you for sharing your experience. We appreciate your feedback and are glad the initial draining of the wrong fuel went well. However, we truly regret the issues you faced afterwards. It’s disappointing to hear that our technician did not have the necessary tools or knowledge to get your car started, leading to additional costs and inconvenience. We understand how frustrating this must have been for you, especially with the auto repair taking only a short amount of time elsewhere. Please know that your insights are invaluable, and we will use this information to provide additional training to our team to prevent similar occurrences in the future. Best regards, Aftercare Team Fuel Fixer Limited

Hi Steve, Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear that the team member who drained your fuel was helpful and kind. We understand that pricing is an important aspect for our customers, and we strive to provide value for our services, which can sometimes come with higher costs due to the operational requirements. We appreciate your thoughts and will take them into consideration as we continue to improve. Fuel Fixer Team

“The only thing that was bad was you quoted me £330 for the job and when the guy had finished it cost me £400 I wasn’t best pleased with that underhanded decision, so hopefully others will see this review and opt for another company that’s more honest”

“Good quick service but extortionately priced.”

“the technician took far to long to arrive,...nearly 3 hours!!”

Helpful Report

“Avoid using this company. I was in a state of panic, and as a woman, I feel taken advantage of. Did I feel ripped off? Absolutely! After paying them over £500, I reached out to the AA to compare their services. What did I discover? AA charges £300 for non-members, a significant difference. It seems this company invests heavily in Google advertising or SEO efforts to appear at the top of search results. As a mother of two young children, ages three and four, I was desperate for help. In my hurry, I didn't shop around properly, driven by panic. They are prominently displayed on Google, advertising a maximum price of £450. However, as often happens, the final cost was much higher. I acknowledge that we accepted their quoted price, but potential customers should be cautious. The technician who attended to my vehicle had minimal mechanical knowledge. Instead of properly bleeding the air from the fuel system, he resorted to using easy start to get the engine running. This method is not only unprofessional but can also significantly shorten the engine's lifespan and lead to severe damage. I strongly recommend contacting multiple services before making a choice. Avoid this company; their service is subpar.”

“Expensive said they would flush the system but did not or do a diagnostic as was agreed”

“Talk about taking advantage !!! Call centre wanted to charge me £460, when I challenged this and told them I’d been quoted £169 (but waiting time was 3.5 hours hence I called these) they instantly dropped to £250 ! Robbers !!! However enginerr was very good !”

Helpful Report

“The operator was seemingly helpful and drained the tank. However, he was unable to start the vehicle and left. It had to be recovered by a local garage that had had to remove significant amounts of petrol (the wrong fuel) from the filter and told me that the starter motor, which was fine and new(ish) before this incident had been burnt out by the operator. A very poor service and at £450, I would not use Fuel Fixer again. I intend to write a Trust Pilot review, including the same points.”
