Mechanical repairs - mobile, on your timeline.

Cam-belts, alternators, starters, water pumps, clutches and electrical work on cars, vans and HGVs. Most jobs done on your driveway in one visit, with the same OEM-grade parts a workshop would use.

A mobile mechanic isn’t a workshop, but it’s a lot closer than people expect. We carry the tooling for cam-belt and chain jobs, alternator and starter swaps, water-pump replacement, radiator and hose work, and clutches on most front-wheel-drive cars and vans.

Electrical work is often where mobile makes the most sense - faults that workshops chase for hours, we can pin down on-site by tracing the wiring with a multimeter and a wiring diagram. Lights, central locking, dash warning lights, parasitic drains, ignition faults.

Anything that genuinely needs a hoist or specialist tooling - transmission rebuilds, full clutch on rear-wheel-drive HGVs - we tell you up front. We’ll quote what we can do on-site and point you at a workshop we trust for the rest.

When to call

Tell-tale signs.

Anything from this list is worth a phone call. We’ll talk it through and only drive out if there’s a job to do.

01

Cam-belt service due

Most belts go between 60-100k miles or 5-10 years. Past it = engine-out repair if it lets go.

02

Engine running hot

Failed thermostat, leaking water pump, or a hose. Catch it before the head gasket goes.

03

Battery / charging warning

Often an alternator failing, sometimes a belt. We test charge output before condemning either.

04

Hard / no start

Worn starter motor, bad solenoid or a wiring fault. Diagnosed on-site with a multimeter.

05

Slipping clutch

FWD car or van? Usually a same-visit job. RWD or HGV needs a workshop hoist.

06

Random electrical gremlins

Lights flickering, locks playing up, parasitic drain killing the battery. Methodical wiring trace.
