What is a mobile mechanic?
A mobile mechanic can visit you at your home, workplace, or roadside without you needing to take your car into a garage. Mobile mechanics are often not associated with a particular garage.
What can a mobile mechanic do?
A mobile mechanic can carry out a large range of repairs, including jump starts, brake repairs, cambelt changes, alternator repairs, tyre changes, oil changes, battery replacements and more. If your issue is more complex, a mobile mechanic may take your car to a garage to be fixed and drop it off once the repair is complete.
Can a mobile mechanic fix a starter?
If you're unable to start your car, your starter might need repairing or replacing, and it's unlikely you can drive it to the garage. A mobile mechanic can come to you to fix your starter. It should only take half an hour to fix a starter, and the mechanic will inspect your car battery to make sure that's not causing the problem.
Are mobile mechanics good?
Mobile mechanics are licensed professionals who are qualified to carry out repair work on your car. You can ask for insurance documents, read customer reviews, and compare prices to make sure a mobile mechanic is good. You can do this via WhoCanFixMyCar using our handy comparison tool for mobile mechanics.
How much is a mobile mechanic?
The cost of a mobile mechanic depends on the type of repair you need and your car's make. The average price of a mobile mechanic booked via WhoCanFixMyCar is £66. Often a mobile mechanic will need to run a car diagnostic first, before being able to fix your car.
Are mobile mechanics cheaper?
Despite having to travel to you, mobile mechanics are often cheaper than garage-based mechanics because fewer overheads are needed to run a mobile business. With mobile mechanics often being a cheaper and more convenient alternative, it's certainly worth booking in with a mobile mechanic.
Can you trust a mobile mechanic?
Due to mobile mechanics often costing less and being a more convenient option, the assumption may be made that they are less trustworthy than mechanics at your local garage. This is certainly not the case though. Whilst garages can offer a large array of services to a large number of customers, mobile mechanics can often specialise in a particular service or repair and as such, the standard of service you receive is assured to be high.
At WhoCanFixMyCar, we only work with the best mechanics in our network of over 15,000 garages so you can rest assured that the mobile mechanic you book with is one you can trust.
We’re so busy nowadays. We’ve got a full day of work and then we’ve got to take the kids to school activities at night and on the weekend. No one has time to take their car to a garage for service. Because, not only do you have to drive to the garage; you’ve got to find a ride to work or back home.
Since more and more people work from home, it makes sense to hire a mobile mechanic to come to you instead of you going to the local shop. You could sit in your home office, working on your latest project, while a mobile mechanic services your car in your driveway. Or, if your work allows it, you could have a mobile mechanic come to your work parking lot and service your vehicle right there, onsite.
