Need a mobile car mechanic?

Available to travel wherever you are located, at times, mobile car mechanics are quite literally lifesavers.

Everyone’s experienced that moment when they jump into their car, turn the key – and nothing. But your car doesn’t just have to be flat-lining to get some attention from a mobile car mechanic.

Ideal for those who are significantly time-poor, these businesses take the stress out of visiting a garage. With the mobile service, you can work from your home office while your car is being repaired in the driveway – talk about ultimate convenience!

Despite the stacks of pluses that go hand-in-hand with a mobile car mechanic, many of us worry the service is just too good to be true. While they might be quick to turn up on your doorstep, the biggest concern is they won’t have the necessary tools in their van to fix your car’s problems.

So instead of enjoying a cuppa while your car mechanic works away, you’ll end up having to swap your fluffy slippers for sensible walking shoes and head on down to your nearest garage – which for most people is much further than the end of their street!

The best way to avoid this scenario is to find out ahead of time what services mobile car mechanics generally offer and what’s better left for a more conventional mechanic.

Mobile car mechanics are generally equipped to deal with routine car services, maintenance repairs, major parts replacements and some diagnostics but are limited in how they can tackle more complex problems.

So, the moral of this story? If you’re relying on an on-the-spot solution, you might want to go through the service menu with an eagle eye before ordering in or head straight to your local joint.
