Mobile mechanic · Canberra
The mechanic comes to your driveway.
Logbook servicing, brakes, air conditioning, cooling systems and fault diagnosis, done where your car is parked. No drop-off, no waiting room, no second car needed.
Why mobile
Your car gets fixed. Your day carries on.
We come to you
Home, work, or wherever the car is stuck. Ben brings the tools, parts and diagnostic gear to your driveway, garage or street.
Find the fault, then fix it
Fault codes get read and traced, not just cleared. A P0420 on a Honda Accord turned out to be oil burning fouling the O2 sensor, so that is what got fixed.
See what you paid for
Old parts, gauge readings and before-and-after photos on every job, so you know exactly what was done and why.
Services
From a logbook service to a seized caliper.
Most work is done at your place. Jobs that need a hoist, like drive shafts, can go through Ben's workshop.
