It can be a nightmare trying to get your car in for repair works or maintenance if you rely on your car for work or for getting your children to and from school. Having to leave your car for a few days with a garage may simply not be feasible, in which case you may need to turn to a mobile mechanic.

There are many mobile mechanics around and they often will come to your home or place of work to carry out repairs within a day or so of you contacting them. Some mechanics will even collect your car, take it in for MOT, carry out any repairs needed and take it back to the retest for you, meaning that it has little effect on your day to day life. You may think that a mobile mechanics will charge more than a garage due to the fact that they have to travel to you, but you may be pleasantly surprised to find that this is not always the case, especially if you live relatively close to the mechanic. Mobile mechanics do not have to fork out for premises and rates so can usually reduce the amount they charge as their overheads are lower.
