Not been to Motormech before? Take some time...
Some feedback from some of our many customers from the Fiat Coupe club uk
Had my 16vt for nearly eight years now. If it weren't for Paul and the gang at Motormech it would have been scrapped long ago. Sound advice, good service and always a smile and a brew to go with it.
I travel there from Chester, not as far as Scotland but still a fair drag.Had my 16vt for nearly eight years now. If it weren't for Paul and the gang at Motormech it would have been scrapped long ago. Sound advice, good service and always a smile and a brew to go with it.

I started with Paul at his original Premises with my old Alfa 156 and he's fettled the wifes old Stilo - sold me (and will 'mod!') my current LE and I'lll use him for her new Sedici......
Its damn hard to find someone you can trust these days but I knew I was onto a good bloke first time I used Paul when he vaselined the 156 Battery terminals without me asking and has always done a great, honest and well priced job.
Only issue now is the current unit is too close to the Bullring and whatever I spend ont the car the wife has her revenge shopping!!!!
Same for me Motormech is top notch - I've got one of those Longlife exhausts fitted and am well happy with it - I said nothing too chavy and it isn't.
Spencer, Club Member 196,Berkshire...Paul is the ONLY mechanic I trust with my coupe.
Turbo_Tob, Fiat Coupe Club,... brilliant garage which i reccomend to everyone, Paul is the only person i trust to work on my car other than myself. First time i took it in he reset my airbag light for free without me even mentioning it and has since carried out various jobs to the highest standard. Next visit is booked next wednesday for an inner steering joint, i'm prepared to be equally impressed!
im getting bullring withdrawal sindrome lol.
i think that cost more than the car being fixed.
8 hours or so for a clutch and cambelt and other handful of stuff and i must have had 15 coffee, 3 protien bars, 3 meals, 7 xmas presents, a new phone and lots of other bits and a £800= bill to return to but i must say it was a very good price for what was done and paul done a good job and even put up with my fine details a going on nd on about my car lol.
good work
Just had my 20vt here for a full service, very impressed with the work carried out and the speed in which it was all done, very good price as well. I had a full service and mentioned other bits and bobs to paul, he fixed my petrol cap/wheel arch liner and unblocked my washer jets and even gave me a free bottle of semi sythetic oil and has minimised my oil leak, top man although its just under an hour to get here, its well worth the trip. I will be returning here for future work/servicing.
well got there about 8.30 this morning its 160 miles for me to get there so stayed the night in premier inn,said hello to paul and off i went to the bullring god its a big place,jobs for paul to do were
1,clucth cg fast road.
2,cam belt water pump and ac belts
3,oil and filter
4,rubber sleve on steering rake
5,trotle cable
6,handbrake cables
7,find and fix leek on thermostat
now he said it would be done in a day which i thought was mad no way,anyway buy 4.30 i was on my way home and everything is sorted spot on,ive hurd so much about this man,and now i no its all true he,s a bloody star,a massive thanks motor mech aka paul and crew they are super stars of the coupe world.
...also i was messing around today with the car and seen that paul has even done my airbag light,he never said a word,theres places that were going to charge me 40 quid for that,like i said superstars
Mine was in wed - somewhere there was a communication break down between myself and Motormech - no doubt on my part - and it had actually been booked in for the 30th instead of the 1st July, meaning i turned up a day late - however, they fitted my inner steering joint in between other jobs by about mid day - can't ask more than that! Better still, they charged about 55 + VAT when the part alone is about 30 and i've heard the job is a nightmare due to access, and the price even included tracking so if i had got the part and fitted it myself, then had the car tracked i would have ended up paying out the same or more!
I just want to add my positive experience of Paul and the guys at Motormech. His is the only garage that I would dream of letting loose on my Coupe and I regularly do a 350mile round trip just to have its routine servicing and MOT done there each year.
When the Coupe has let me down twice, I've had the car trailered down to Motormech to have whatever its needed doing there to sort it and the guys have always come through for me, with the minimum of fuss and all at a great price.
I really cannot recommend Motormech highly enough. They really are 100% top notch.
Just to add my voice to the crowd.
Getting up at 4am to drop it off and catch the train back to stoke for work should demonstrate how much I value the service.
My mates all think I'm mad, but it's worth it for the prices and the peace of mind that a coupe pro has looked at your car
Just collected my car from Motormech - Fitted my strut brace, changed my cambelt, cam cover gasket and a full service.
Top guy, top work and my best to his receptionist who was knowledgeable professional and friendly.
Without this forum I would never have known about him. To my Irish brethern - it was worth the trip to leave the car in such good hands.
Yes top guys at motormech, was ther today had this horrible tapping noise near the turbo ,it was a loose bolt on the manifold 20 mins and sorted, and advised me to get new break discs and pads so looking forward to going there again in three weeks ,i know this has been said a thousand times if youve got any problems get down to motormech.
Bev&Kev...
so today was supposed to be wheel refurb day at burton's new branch of thewheelspecialist.co.uk
took the car there 8.30, and when i got back to the office i had a phone call saying they'd broken a wheel bolt already and that they couldn't shift the others. they said it was whoever had last put them on doing them too tightly. bolox!!.
long story short, i took the 30 mile drive to motormech at short notice for them to inspect/repair. within 30 mins the broken bolt was out, all the others were removed and copperslipped again, and replaced. i even got a shiny new bolt to replace the busted one.
short notice, great service and the princely sum of next to nowt! neither paul nor mark would accept a penny, not even for a beer...i had to promise to take them for a beer one wsaturday after marks hols and paul even offered to let me stay with him and svet for the night!!!
tell me, where do you get this sort of service elsewhere these days???
top blokes, top job, happy coop again....
As the title says... my 20VT developed a screeching noise on cold startup about 2 weeks. Paul at Motor Mech diagnosed it over a quick Sunday afternoon phone call as a leaking exhaust manifold. I also needed my alternator belt changing and struggled to manage this myself
So I booked in and travelled down to Brum last night with my Mrs to stay over and make a night of it... lucky I was off work on holiday! It was also my first proper visit to Brum and Motor Mech
Dropped the coop off this morning at 8am for Paul to sort out... and asked him to check my clunking suspension and none working aircon
Sure enough 6 hours later, a new exhaust manifold gasket and a couple of replaced snapped studs had cured my screeching noise, an aircon regas got me some nice cold air with a nice new belt and tensioner driving the compressor and a new set of wishbones solved the clunking!
And I was back home in time for tea!
Cheers Paul. I cannot recommend you enough… see again at some point no doubt!

We travel from manchester everytime the coupe and the wifes hgt need the slightest thing. The distance is a small price to pay for the peace of mind of having somebody who is reliable and knows what they are doing looking after the cars. The wifes hgt went down on a transporter a few months ago that paul has arranged and got us a really good price for it. Definately a blessing to the coupe world!!!!!!
it's a massive plus for me having work carried out by Paul. In the past I'ved put off going to him due to the distance. But due to being disappointed by some recent work carried out by a more local 'specialist' I didn't hesitate to make the trip this time. Paul instills massive confidence with his knowledge of the coop and his skills are obviously excellent.
Also being on holiday from work helped for my trip and we had a good night out around Broad Street in Brum where there's loadsa bars and restaurants There's a Premier Inn only a minutes walk from Broad St and 20 minutes from Motor Mech.
I might try the early start another time if I want to avoid the extra costs of staying over. But Paul will definately be seeing my coop again!
I'm more than happy to drive up from Taunton if I need anything doing.
Usually make a day of it and go shopping, but then that get's expensive ..... always a downside
But then the Coupe is always well looked after!
Very impressed with the work carried out by motormech today, had a brand new valeo clutch, front brake pads and throttle cable, feels like a new car, took a while to get used to how responsive the clutch/accelerator is though nice one paul!
I've had quite a lot of work done there now and im thoroughly impressed, theyre all friendly, answer any questions that u have and i find the prices reasonable too, most important thing is that the work carried out is spot on, well worth the distance mate feel bad for dissing them on the forum over something daft thinking about it (cant help being a virgo lol), i always jump in too quickly
Another Big Thumbs Up!
Dealt with Paul for the first time on saturday during my 8 years of coop ownership.
He carried out a minor service/checkover quickly & professionaly on my plus for the right price,well happy I,ll be back!Even getting there & out was hassle free considering the location of central b'ham next to the bullring shopping center on a saturday.
Our first visit to Motormech on sat to collect our coop after having a new Turbo fitted, Paul & Svetlana have been so patient in sorting out our problems and all with no fuss.
Its great to have our car back smiles all round again we have been so depressed without it.A big THANK YOU again
I've taken my car to Paul for the last couple of years and have always been very happy with the service (they've done loads on it - cambelt, turbo, radiator, full suspension replacement, uprated shocks, springs, regular servicing and my MOT's)
Two weeks age I hit a buckle from a lorry loading strap which was lying in the road. I saw it coming but due to traffic couldnt drive around it. It must have hit my downpipe as it caused the manifold to break (may actually have just been the last straw - it was a welded unit and probably already cracked having been on the car a couple of years)
I've just started a new job and cant take any time off at the moment, also I need the car to get to work every day and it really was driving very badly...
I spoke to Motormech last Monday and they managed to fit me in on Friday. I drove down to Birmingham on Thursday night and dropped my car off at Paul and Svetlana's house at about 9pm! They invited me in for a cup of tea and a chat before calling me a taxi back to the station.
I picked up the car on Saturday morning and its fantastic - feels like new again!
To echo everyone else, fantastic service and amazing prices! I have no doubt I would have given up coupe ownership many years ago without being able to take my car to a garage I trust!
Paul, Svetlana many many thanks for helping me out last week - I really appreciate it and sharing my experience seems the least I can do!
Ive got a W reg 20v VIS Coupe which I had sent down to the boys at Motormech. They went through the car with a fine tooth comb and im pleased to say the car is running sweeter than sweet...clutch/timing belts/alternator/service/console section/all fluids changed you name it..it got sorted!
In my opinion they go over and above what a normal garage would probably ever do so i was more than happy to get the train at 7.30am from Manchester to go collect the car!
A big Thumbs up....!!
Many thanks to Paul and gang,
Just got back from there (4 hour drive back through awful traffic and main route home closed!)Very satisfied with the level of care given to my coop with it's cambelt change. Paul said I was just in time with it (it was on 32K) Belt did look a wee bit knackered!
Despite the 6 hour round trip, I'll be visiting again!
Cheers Paul!
I had forgotten about my MOT (have been use to using a work pool car lately) , I contacted Motormech, Monday night, and got it booked in for the next day, it failed on some corroded brake pipes, which they fixed that day and a very reasonable price.
Thank you for sorting this out
well here we are again!!!
belts done in double quick time and a price i found more comfortable than expected - excellent stuff, cheers paul
As most of you are all very aware from previous threads im having some teething problems with my coupe.
I live in scotland and Italian specialists are hard to come by
I have heard good things about Motermech and but is it worth a 600 mile round trip
Ian
Paul and the gang will sort it whatever the problem, and probably fix a couple of things you didn't know were even wrong.
It's only a 350 mile round trip for me but I do it!
For the love of god though dont take the Mrs!
He's situated walking distance from Birmingham Bull Ring, she'll disspaear off into one of the clothes stores and you'll have no money left to fix your car
