What we do
What we do in Whangarei
Mobile mechanic work covers most jobs a workshop handles, done instead at your home, your workplace, or wherever the car is parked. This suits people without transport to get a vehicle to a garage, or anyone who'd rather not wait around a workshop while the work gets done.
WOF Pre-Check Repairs
A warrant check looks at brakes, tyres, lights, and steering for wear and safety faults. If a car is due for testing or has already failed, sorting issues beforehand can save a second trip to the station.
Battery Testing Replacement
A car that struggles to start or turns over slowly usually points to a tired battery. Testing and replacing it on site saves arranging a tow when the fault leaves the car stuck at home or work.
Brake Pad Replacement
Squealing, grinding, or a soft pedal are common signs the brakes need attention and shouldn't be ignored. Pads and rotors wear down with regular driving and can be checked and replaced at a driveway or car park.
Oil Filter Service
Regular oil changes keep an engine lubricated and running cleanly, and most vehicles need this every few thousand kilometres. It's straightforward work that can be done wherever the car happens to be parked, without a workshop visit.
Check Engine Diagnostics
A dashboard warning light can mean anything from a loose fuel cap to a sensor fault or a bigger engine problem. Running a diagnostic scan narrows down the cause before deciding what repair work is actually needed.
Pre-Purchase Inspections
Buying a used car without a mechanical check is a gamble, since problems aren't always visible on a short test drive. An inspection beforehand can flag issues with the engine, brakes, or suspension before money changes hands.
