Common Questions
If you are not sure which service you need, send an enquiry with a few details and we will help guide you through the options.
Talk to Our TeamDo you offer pre purchase car inspection services, and what does the inspection include?
Pre-purchase car inspection services are available. The inspection checks important things like the condition of the engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, tires, and lights. It also includes scanning for hidden trouble codes, looking for leaks or signs of previous accidents, and checking the overall safety and performance of the vehicle. After the inspection, you get a clear report with the findings so you can make an informed decision before buying the car.
Do you offer brake pad replacement, and can you do it at my home or workplace?
Brake pad replacement is one of the main services offered, and it can be done right at your home or workplace. All the tools and parts are brought to you, so you don’t have to go anywhere or sit in a waiting room. The process is safe, convenient, and usually finished within a couple of hours, depending on your vehicle. This makes it easy to fit car repairs into your busy day.
Do you provide car battery replacement, and can you test the charging system at the same time?
Car battery replacement is offered, and the charging system can be tested during the same visit. This includes checking the battery, alternator, and starter to see if everything’s working properly. That way, you’ll know if you only need a new battery or if there’s another issue causing problems with your car starting or holding a charge.
Can you handle exhaust repair on-site, and how do I know if my exhaust issue is urgent?
Exhaust repairs can usually be handled on-site, as long as there’s enough space and the work doesn’t require special equipment only available in a shop. If your car is making loud noises, has a strong smell of exhaust inside, or you notice a drop in fuel efficiency, these are signs the issue might be urgent. Loud rattling, visible holes or hanging parts underneath your car mean it shouldn't wait, since exhaust problems can affect both safety and your car’s performance. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s best to get it checked out as soon as possible.
Can you come to my location if I search for a mechanic near me, and what areas do you service?
A mobile mechanic can come straight to your location, like your home or work, which saves you the trouble of moving your car to a shop. The service area usually covers undefined and nearby neighborhoods, but it's always best to call or check online to be sure we cover your specific address. This way, you get help right where you need it without any extra hassle.
Do you offer engine repair, and what information should I have ready before you diagnose the problem?
Engine repair is available. Before diagnosis, it's helpful if you can tell me what issues you're experiencing, like strange noises, warning lights, or loss of power. If you know your vehicle’s make, model, year, mileage, and any recent repairs or maintenance, that’s great information to have up front. This helps get to the source of the problem faster.
Do you offer an Oil Change Near Me service, and can you dispose of the old oil and filter after the change?
Mobile oil change service is available and brings everything needed to your location, whether that's home, work, or somewhere else nearby. The old oil and used filter are taken away and disposed of properly, so there's no mess or cleanup for you to worry about. This keeps things quick and convenient while also following the right environmental guidelines for disposing of motor oil.
Do you provide brake repair, and can you give an estimate before starting any work?
Yes, brake repair is offered, and you can get an estimate before any work starts. After checking your brakes, the mechanic will let you know what needs fixing and give you a clear price so you know what to expect. No work will be done until you agree to the estimate.
How much does a mobile mechanic call-out fee cost?
Our standard mobile mechanic call-out fee is $80. This competitive fee covers our travel directly to your home, office, or roadside location anywhere in Canberra, alongside the first 15 minutes of expert on-site vehicle diagnosis to provide you with an accurate, transparent repair quote. Then our hourly rate is $120 per hour for additional work.
Can a mobile mechanic handle major mechanical repairs on-site?
Yes. Our mobile workshop is fully equipped to handle the majority of mechanical repairs on-site, including brake replacements, steering and suspension fixes, battery installations, and advanced computer diagnostics. If a rare, complex job requires a workshop hoist, we provide clear recommendations and upfront quotes.
Do you offer any warranty on parts and labor for your Engine Repair services?
Engine repair services include a warranty on both parts and labor. The warranty usually covers parts installed as well as the work done for a set period, which is typically made clear before the job starts. This means if there's a problem related to the repair within the warranty time frame, it will be fixed at no extra charge. Specific details about coverage and how long it lasts can vary depending on the part and type of repair, so it's always good to ask for exact terms before the service begins.
Can you diagnose a check engine light issue when I contact a mechanic near me?
A mobile mechanic can come to you and run a diagnostic test on your vehicle when the check engine light comes on. They use a scanner to read the codes from your car’s computer, which helps figure out what’s wrong. After checking the codes, they’ll explain what the problem is and let you know what repairs you might need. This means you don’t have to drive to a shop just to find out what the issue is.
Do you take payments by card, and can I pay after the pre purchase car inspection is completed?
You can pay by card after the pre purchase car inspection is finished. Payment is only needed once the inspection is done, so you won’t have to pay anything upfront. This way, you can review the results and then pay using your preferred card.
Do I need to book an appointment in advance, or can I request same-day service when searching for a mechanic near me?
Booking an appointment ahead of time is the best way to make sure a mechanic is available when you need them. Some mobile mechanics do offer same-day service if their schedule allows, but it’s not always guaranteed, especially during busy times. If you need urgent repairs, it’s smart to call or message to check current availability and see if same-day service is possible. Planning ahead usually means you’ll get your preferred time and less waiting.
Do you offer certified log book servicing to manufacturer standards so I can keep my warranty without visiting a mechanic near me?
Certified log book servicing is provided, and all work follows manufacturer standards to help maintain your new car warranty. A licensed mechanic comes to your location, whether it's at home or work, and records everything in your service log book as required. You don't have to visit a traditional workshop—servicing is done where it's most convenient, and your warranty remains valid as long as the log book schedule and guidelines are followed.
Can you do a fuel system cleaning as a mobile service, and will it help improve my engine’s performance if I’m searching for a mechanic near me?
Fuel system cleaning is available as a mobile service, so you don’t need to go to a workshop. A thorough fuel system clean helps remove deposits from injectors and other parts of the system. This can lead to smoother engine operation, better fuel efficiency, and sometimes better performance, especially if your car has been running rough or sluggish. If you’re looking for a mechanic near you, booking a mobile fuel system clean means you get the service at your home or workplace, and it’s often a good step if you want your engine to run reliably and efficiently.
Do you offer cooling system maintenance to help prevent overheating, and can a mechanic near me do it at my home or workplace?
Cooling system maintenance is available and can be done right at your home, workplace, or even roadside. A licensed mobile mechanic comes to your location to check your radiator, hoses, coolant levels, and other key parts. This service helps prevent overheating and protects your engine from damage. All work is done on-site, so there’s no need to visit a workshop, making it both convenient and reliable.
Do you offer suspension and shock absorber repairs as a mobile service, or would I need to visit an auto repair shop?
Suspension and shock absorber repairs are available as a mobile service, so there's no need to visit an auto repair shop. A mechanic comes to your home, workplace, or wherever you need help and can handle most suspension and shock absorber work on-site, including inspections, replacements, and general repairs. This makes it easy to keep your car stable and comfortable without the hassle of dropping it off at a workshop.
What’s included in your pre purchase car inspection, and will I get a clear report on any safety or mechanical issues before I buy?
A pre-purchase car inspection covers a full check of the car’s main systems to spot any issues before you buy. This includes looking over the engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, steering, and all critical safety features. The inspection checks fluid levels, brakes, tires, battery, cooling system, and the electrical components. You’ll get a detailed report at the end, listing any problems or potential future worries, so you know exactly what shape the car is in and can make a confident decision.
