What a mobile mechanic can do on your driveway

Most of what a garage does can be done on your driveway, without losing the car for the day. Here is what we do at your address, what it costs, and where we cover.

The point of a mobile mechanic is that the car never has to go anywhere. No dropping it off before work, no lift back, no day without it. The work happens on your drive or in your work car park while you get on with your day.

What we do at your address

  • Servicing — minor from £109, full from £149, major from £229, all to the manufacturer's schedule with the book stamped.
  • Brakes — pads from £89 a pair, pads and discs from £179, with the discs measured before anything is quoted.
  • Clutches — from £349, or priced from the registration, because they vary a lot between cars.
  • Timing belts — from £349, with the tensioners and, on most engines, the water pump done at the same time.
  • Diagnostics — a £60 Diagnostic Call-Out for a warning light or a fault you cannot pin down.
  • DPF cleaning and diagnosis — from £249, with the filter kept, not removed.
  • Re-mapping — Stage 1, economy and gearbox re-maps from £249, with your original file saved.

The one job that needs a test centre

An MOT has to be carried out at a DVSA-approved test centre, so nobody can do the test on your driveway. What we do instead is collect the car from your home or work, take it to a local test centre, ring you with the result, and bring it back — £85, with a free retest within ten working days if it needs one.

Where we cover

Mechanical work covers Milton Keynes, Leighton Buzzard, Bedford, Buckingham and Northampton, and carries a £60 call-out on top of the price. Security fitting — immobilisers, trackers and dashcams — covers a wider area, with no call-out at all.

What we need from you

  • Somewhere flat to park beside the car — a driveway, or a work car park where the work is allowed.
  • The keys, and someone to hand them over.
  • The registration when you book, so we can give you a written price for your exact car.

Every job comes with a written price before anything starts, and a phone call before anything extra is done. Mechanical work carries 12 months' warranty on parts and labour.

Questions

Related questions

Is a mobile mechanic cheaper than a garage?+

Often similar on the work itself — the saving is in your time. There is no drop-off, no lift home and no day without the car. Our mechanical prices are listed on each service page, plus a £60 call-out.

Will a mobile service keep my warranty valid?+

Yes, as long as it is done to the manufacturer's schedule with the right parts and fluids, which is how we do every service. Your service book is stamped.

What if the job turns out bigger than expected?+

We stop and ring you with what we have found and a price. Nothing extra happens without your say-so.

Do you cover my area?+

For mechanical work, Milton Keynes, Leighton Buzzard, Bedford, Buckingham and Northampton. For security fitting, a wider area — send us your postcode and we will confirm straight away.
