Mobile mechanic - car lighting repair

Lighting

Whether it’s fiddly bulb replacements or full LHD headlamp conversions, I offer a complete service including parts where necessary.

Mobile mechanic welding repairs

Welding repairs

Body repairs, blowing exhausts, broken brackets… if I can fix something instead of replacing it, that’s what I do to make repairs both time and cost effective.

How it works

Step 1

Email me or call me.

If you know what work your vehicle requires, for example a minor service or new brake pads then I can give you the price over the phone.

If you’re not sure what is wrong, I charge €40 to come out and diagnose the problem. I can then give you a quote for the remedial work and if you decide to go ahead, then the €40 is deducted from your final bill.

How it works

Step 2

Choose a time and place that is convenient for you – whether that’s at home, at work, or even at the airport if you’re off on holiday.

Step 3

Time for me to get my tools out…

Step 4

Once the work is completed you can pay by credit or debit card and I will email an invoice to you.

hello.

I'm Ben the Mobile Mechanic

I am a fully qualified mobile vehicle technician and MOT tester with wide ranging motor trade experience, and a passion for cars. I bought my first car (a classic Mini, naturally) when I was aged just 14, which led to my first job working for a classic specialist. By the time I started college, I’d already learnt to weld and carry out mechanical repairs. Once I gained my qualifications, I went to work in a busy roadside garage in the UK where I honed my diagnostic skills and mechanical abilities. I went on to become the workshop manager before ultimately going on to start my own business, providing my services on a freelance basis to a variety of trade customers, from small garages to large dealerships such as Peugeot UK. I enjoy diagnosing and repairing major engine faults, and I established myself as a specialist in rebuilding BMW diesel engines.

My job is to keep your vehicle safe, roadworthy and running well. I am a mechanic, not a fitter, which means I am able to look for the most cost-effective solution for your vehicle’s needs.

My labour rate is just €40/hour, and there is no call-out charge except for a diagnostic service where an OBD scan tool is required.
