Average quote for mobile servicing
It’s no secret that regular maintenance extends the life of your car, allowing potential problems to be identified before they become serious. But sticking to your car’s servicing schedule can feel like a chore, especially if you don’t live near a garage.
Rather than scheduling time to take your car into a conventional workshop for its annual service, you could book a mobile mechanic who will go the distance so you don’t have to.
A mobile car service is identical to a regular service, including all the checks you’d expect, such as the lights, suspension, brakes, engine oil and other fluids; the only difference is that it’s carried out at a location of your choice.

Benefits of mobile car servicing
The benefits of mobile servicing are numerous. You get to save time, stress and potentially money without leaving the comfort of your home while your car receives a healthy dose of TLC, ensuring it’s in top condition for the year ahead.
Mobile mechanics are often more affordable because they have fewer overheads, and since servicing is carried out annually, the savings can really start to add up. Since you don’t have to arrange time off work to take your car in, you’re less likely to put off making a booking, which is a win for your vehicle’s long-term health.

Can a mobile mechanic do a full service?
Mobile mechanics can do interim, full and major services. They can also carry out MOTs and a range of repairs. Certain jobs - mainly those requiring ramps, many hours of time or multiple pairs of hands - may be outside the scope of some mobile mechanics, but they will inform you about what work they can and can’t complete.
Read this guide if you’ve ever wondered whether mobile mechanics are any good.
What should be checked in a car service?
During a full service - which should be completed every 12 months or 12,000 miles - a mechanic will check various systems and components, including the brakes, suspension, oil, exhaust, lights and fluid. They may also replace the engine oil and filter, spark plugs and fuel filter if required - this is determined by the maintenance intervals recommended in your owner’s manual.
