What is Mobile Auto Repair?

Mobile auto repair mechanics will come to your location (home, business, school) to perform auto repair on your vehicle.  Depending on their certification and background, a mobile mechanic can perform basic auto repair tasks like oil changes and brakes and more sophisticated tasks like engine and transmission repair.  Most mobile mechanics are entrepreneurs and work independently.  One of the biggest advantages to hiring a mobile mechanic is that their costs are typically 40% cheaper than independent repair facilities. This is due to the lack of overhead fees like garage rent and employees. Many consumers find the flexibility of mobile auto repair valuable; the mechanic may come to your location (work, home or school) to perform the auto repairs.  

Mobile auto repair has become increasingly popular over the past few years due to our slow economic climate. Reading some mobile mechanic reviews nationwide on http://www.mechanicadvisor.com/ the experience seems to be either a nightmare or a beautiful dream, with not much in-between. As a consumer it is very important for you to do your research before hiring a mobile mechanic. Below is our checklist for choosing a mobile auto repair facility for your vehicle.   

Some questions that you should ask before hiring a Mobile Mechanic:
    • Is the mobile mechanic certified either by ASE or similar organizations?
    • Can you see the mechanics ratings and reviews online (Yelp, Angie's List, Mechanic Advisor)?
    • Does the mechanic have customer referrals?
    • Does the mechanic offer a warranty on work performed?
    • What type of parts does he or she use if parts are needed to be replaced (new or used)?
    • Will the mechanic prepare an itemized receipt?

If the prospective mechanic meets all of these requirements, your car should be in great hands!
