It is easy to take our possessions for granted. Expensive jewels and clothing tossed to the side once we are done with them, only to panic when they cannot be found. Cars are essentially no different. Every day we casually take our prized machines onto the road, only to be rudely awoken when a fault arises. Garages specialise in treating car problems but often come with the hassle of large fees and organising a tow to the garage. What if there was another, less bothersome, potentially more cost-efficient way to have your car repaired? A mobile car service brings a mobile mechanic to you, saving you the hassle, money and time.
HOW FLEXIBLE IS A MOBILE CAR SERVICE?
Mobile mechanics are often more flexible than your local garage and aim to fit your schedule. You don’t have to worry about organising a tow or finding another way to get your car to a garage, as the mechanic will come to your location for the job. The majority of car faults and repairs can be carried out roadside by mobile mechanics, such as oil changes, brake repairs, battery replacements, MOTs and much more.
Organising a mobile car service is easy as you can book online. Then explain your vehicle’s symptoms and give your availability, and the mobile mechanic will aim to find you a slot that works best for you. In most cases, your visit will be scheduled on the same day as your call, so you have to wait for them to arrive at your location. The location doesn’t have to be your home, and mobile mechanics can come almost anywhere. The only exception is motorways due to safety concerns. If you are busy on the day of your booking, you can schedule a time to drop off the car keys, and the mobile mechanic will do the job while you are away.
DOES IT COST MORE THAN A LOCAL GARAGE?
Depending on the issue with your vehicle, a mobile car service will often be cheaper than your local garage. This is due to mobile mechanics not having the same overheads as fixed garages. While a call-out fee is standard, this will come out of your total payment. Another thing that lowers the price compared to a garage is the money saved from not needing a towing service. Apart from distance, vehicle size, and make, towing can come with unplanned additional costs such as out-of-hours fees for weekends and bank holidays.
