Mobile Car Repair in Reading

Don't let your busy life get in the way of vital repairs. Book an appointment with a mobile mechanic if you struggle to find time to take your vehicle into a local garage - they come to you and complete the work at a suitable time and place.

Here are just some of the ways a mobile car repair can make your life easier:

 

Convenience - Rather than having to find time to take your car to a garage and then trying to keep your life on track without it, you can have your car repairs completed at a location that works best for you. This could be your driveway or a car park at work during your normal day. This helps you avoid disruption.

Flexibility - You may be able to book a mobile car repair on a weekend, evening or even overnight, depending on the mobile mechanics in your area. If your schedule doesn’t really accommodate maintenance at a traditional garage, this can make your life easier.

Transparency - You get to see what is happening during your mobile car repair at all times. This makes it easier to trust the quality of the work and gives you the peace of mind that all the checks have been completed to the highest standard.

Cheaper - A mobile car repair involves less overhead costs and expenses, so they are often at least competitively priced against, if not cheaper than most local garages.

 

To just see results from mobile mechanics in your area, enable the “Show Only Mobile Garages” by ticking the box on the left-hand side.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

How Much Does it Cost to Repair a Damaged Car?

The cost of your car repairs will depend on the extent of damage you’ve suffered.

Minor repairs such as a brake pad replacement, DPF clean or brake fluid replacement cost significantly less than a gearbox repair, clutch replacement or head gasket replacement.

Enter your reg and postcode and choose the repair you need through our booking tool to get a more accurate idea of how much it will cost to repair your car.

What Should I Do If I Don’t Know What Car Repair I Need?

If your car has a problem, but you don’t know exactly what’s wrong, you have a few options:

1. Book a general repair or visual inspection. Choose a local garage to inspect the problem for you and let you know what repair you need. You can compare garages by hourly labour rate to ensure you get the best deal for any repair work you need. Provide as many details as possible about the symptoms you’re experiencing to help them identify the fault.

2. Book a diagnostic check. If your car has a new dashboard warning light as well as other symptoms, you might be better off booking a diagnostic check. The mechanic will use state-of-the-art diagnostic software to identify the warning light and provide you with a quote for the repair.

3. Read our blog articles to get a better understanding of your problem. We have dozens of helpful guides about car repairs to help you understand what’s wrong and what you should do about it.

If you’re in any doubt, we would recommend booking a general repair or visual inspection to get a professional opinion about your problem and a suitable solution.

Does My Insurance Cover Bad Car Repairs?

Your insurance policy usually covers the cost of car repairs after an accident, as long as you meet the terms and conditions of a claim. This includes mechanical damage as long as your insurer deems the car repairable.

This would mean the car is rated either Category S (structural damage) or Category N (cosmetic or electrical damage) in their inspection. Category A & B damage means that your insurance company recommends writing off the car.

Your insurer will not pay out for any repairs to Category A or B vehicles as they believe the car is beyond repair.

Your car insurance policy also won’t cover the cost of expensive car repairs suffered through wear and tear or neglect. It is the driver’s responsibility to book and pay for these repairs.

When is it Not Worth Repairing Your Car?

It’s usually not worth repairing your car when the cost of doing so is more expensive than the vehicle is worth. You might also want to consider whether a repair is worthwhile if it will cost almost as much as the vehicle is worth.

For example, if your car is worth £1,000 in good condition, but it needs £1,500 of repair work, you might be better off scrapping or part-exchanging it to help fund a new one. You may wish to do the same if it requires £800 of repair work.

If your insurer has recommended writing off your vehicle, it might also not be worth repairing it.

Should a Garage Give Me a Warranty After Their Work?

Garages are under no obligation to provide you with a warranty after completing any repair work.

However, many garages do offer 6- or 12-month warranties to give customers as much peace of mind as possible. It may depend on the garage you choose as to whether they offer you a warranty after your car repair.

If you believe that a garage hasn’t taken ‘reasonable skill and care’ during a repair, you are legally entitled to claim compensation under the Consumer Rights Act of 2015.
