Frequently asked questions

What is a mobile mechanic?

Mobile mechanics are technicians who will complete your vehicle’s maintenance at a location of your choosing. They operate out of a van and are often unaffiliated with any garage, although many static garages also offer mobile services to help make drivers’ lives easier.

Are there any repairs a mobile mechanic can’t complete on my driveway?

MOT testing cannot be completed on your driveway because some of the checks require access to a ramp.

Any other repairs that require your car to be raised off the ground will also need to be completed by a local garage rather than a mobile mechanic. These include major engine repairs, ADAS calibration and some clutch repairs.

Is a mobile mechanic as qualified as a traditional garage?

Yes, mobile mechanics are all fully-qualified, having undergone the same training as workshop technicians. They often trained at a local garage or main dealership before setting up their own business, so they’re incredibly knowledgeable and highly qualified.

Is a mobile mechanic more cost-effective?

Yes, mobile mechanics can be more cost-effective than booking an appointment with a local garage.

This is because they generally have fewer overheads and other expenses, allowing them to provide their services slightly cheaper than larger garages.

What happens if it rains on the day of my appointment?

Most mobile mechanics will work in light rain, but heavy rain, snow or other unsafe conditions will usually result in them rescheduling your appointment for when the weather improves. They will contact you directly on the day if they run into any weather-related issues.

If you can provide a covered space like a garage, the mechanic may be able to complete your repair as normal.

What happens if they run into a problem that can’t be fixed at home?

The technician will recommend taking your car into a local garage if it requires a repair that can’t be completed on your driveway. If they work for or are closely linked with a local garage, they may be able to arrange this for you.

If they cannot fix your problem, you may have to make other arrangements to get a local garage to complete your repair.

Can a mobile mechanic complete an MOT?

If the mechanic is a qualified MOT tester and has access to a local garage with an MOT bay, they will be able to complete the inspection. Some mobile mechanics work with local test centres to provide more convenient MOT testing, with any repair work carried out on your driveway after the inspection.

Some checks require your car to be raised off the ground, so an MOT cannot be completed on your driveway.

Can I book a mobile mechanic on the weekend?

Yes, many mobile mechanics work on Saturdays to make your car maintenance even more convenient.

If you require a Saturday appointment, enter your reg and postcode and then select a specific date from the calendar on the left-hand sidebar to see which mobile mechanics have availability on that day.

How quickly can a mobile mechanic come out?

You may be able to book a same- or next-day appointment with a local mobile mechanic, depending on their availability and lead time.

If you need one of these slots, enter your reg and postcode and then either sort results by Availability (using the Sort By button in the top right corner) or select tomorrow’s date from the calendar on the left-hand sidebar. This will ensure you only see results that meet your needs.

Please be aware that unforeseen circumstances can mean that a mobile mechanic is unable to offer last-minute appointments on any given day.

Do mobile mechanics bring all the parts and tools?

Yes, your chosen mobile mechanic will turn up fully equipped to complete the job your car needs.

Can a mobile mechanic reset my warning lights?

Yes, many mobile mechanics offer expert car diagnostic checks on your driveway, bringing specialist equipment with them to identify your vehicle’s error code and performing the necessary fixes to switch the warning light off.

Is there a warranty on parts and labour?

Many mobile mechanics offer a 12-month parts and labour warranty to guarantee the quality of their work.

We are currently unable to show who offers these warranties through our platform. Please contact your chosen mobile mechanic directly if you require a guarantee on your repair work (but their listing doesn’t mention whether they offer one) to see if it’s something they provide.

Is there anything I need to do to prepare my car for the mobile mechanic?

Please ensure your car is parked on a flat surface and is easily accessible for the mechanic. Ideally, this would be a private garage or driveway rather than a public road to ensure the technician can work safely during the repair.

The mechanic may also need your car keys or the locking wheel nut, so please make sure these are accessible on the day.

We recommend that you’re at home during the appointment in case your chosen mechanic runs into any issues they need to discuss with you. If this isn’t possible, please ensure you’ve made other arrangements with the technician beforehand and are still contactable during your repair.
