Frequently asked questions

Can Mobile Mechanics Do Car Diagnostics?

Yes, mobile mechanics can perform car diagnostic tests. They have the necessary tools and equipment to connect to the vehicle’s onboard diagnostic (OBD) system and retrieve error codes. With their expertise, they can interpret the codes, identify the underlying issues, and provide a diagnosis. Mobile mechanics can also perform additional tests, such as checking sensor readings, inspecting wiring connections, and conducting visual inspections to further diagnose the problem. As the technician only needs to use a handheld diagnostic tool, there is no need to take your car into a static garage during a mobile car diagnostic. However, the mobile mechanic may need to take it to a local garage for repairs, depending on the problem your vehicle has. They will communicate this with you if necessary.

Can I Trust My Chosen Mobile Mechanic?

We provide honest reviews and ratings for every mobile mechanic on our comparison site, so you can use these reviews to guide you in your selection of a great local mobile mechanic. We remove any garages and mobile mechanics from our site that don’t meet our standards, so you never need to worry.

What Happens If My Car Needs a Repair?

Repairs can often be done at home, or otherwise at a local service centre the mechanic works with. Any repairs that require your car to be raised off the ground will need to be carried out at a local garage, such as ADAS calibration and some clutch repairs.

Do I Need to Be at Home During My Diagnostic Check?

Whilst you don’t necessarily need to be at home while the work is carried out, it is advisable to be around. Many of the services a mobile mechanic carries out only take a couple of hours. At the very least, you need to make a plan with the mechanic if you’re not going to be home so that they can get the keys and you should be contactable during the diagnostic test. You should also make sure your vehicle is parked on a flat surface, away from the road, so that the mechanic has access to all sides of your car.

Will the Appointment Happen If It’s Raining?

Usually, a diagnostic check can be carried out in the rain. If there is heavy rain or snow, then your appointment may need to be rescheduled for when the weather improves. The mechanic will contact you directly on the day to discuss if they run into any weather-related problems. If you can provide a covered space, like a garage, then they may be able to complete your repair as normal.

What Issues Can a Mobile Diagnostic Check Detect?

A mobile diagnostic check can tell you if your car has issues in a wide range of areas, including the brakes, transmission and engine - amongst others.

When Do I Pay for My Appointment?

With the exception of some mobile mechanics who may require payment details upfront, you’ll usually pay your chosen mobile mechanic directly and only after the work is complete.

Will the Price of My Mobile Diagnostic Appointment Change?

The price of your appointment won’t change, unless you agree to additional work or repairs with your chosen mobile mechanic directly.

How Can I Ensure I Get the Best Deal on Any Repairs as Well?

To find a great deal on your repair work, filter your search results to compare prices from local mobile mechanics to get an idea of who offers the best price. You can compare labour rates if you don’t know which repairs your car is likely to need.

Can I Book a Mobile Diagnostic for Tomorrow?

Many of the garages on our site offer same- and next-day appointments, so you can sort your mobile diagnostic booking out even at the last minute.
