What we do
What we do in Napier
Mobile mechanics handle most of the jobs a garage does, without you needing to drop the car off. Below is a rundown of the work that gets booked most often, from routine servicing to diagnosing a warning light. If your problem isn't listed, call 027 843 0170 and describe what the car is doing.
Pre-Purchase Inspection
A check of a car's mechanical condition before you hand over money, covering the engine, brakes, suspension and obvious wear. Book this when you're buying privately and want a second opinion beyond what the seller tells you.
WOF Prep & Repairs
Getting a car ready to pass its warrant, including fixing the faults that come up on the checklist like lights, tyres and brake wear. Useful when a WOF is due or the car has already failed once.
Battery Testing & Replacement
Checking whether a battery is holding charge and fitting a new one on the spot if it isn't. Common when a car struggles to start in the morning or the lights dim at idle.
Brake Inspection & Repair
Checking pads, discs and fluid, then replacing parts that have worn past a safe limit. Worth booking if you hear grinding or squealing, or the pedal feels soft underfoot.
Diagnostic Scans
Plugging in a scan tool to read fault codes when a warning light comes on or the car is running rough. Helps narrow down what's wrong before deciding on repairs.
General Servicing
Oil and filter changes, fluid top-ups and a check over the parts that wear with regular driving. Recommended at set intervals to keep a car running reliably between bigger jobs.

Questions
Questions we get asked in Napier
Do you come to my house in Napier?
Yes, mobile mechanic work means the job happens at your address instead of a workshop. Call 027 843 0170 with your suburb and what's wrong to check it's something that can be done on-site.
How much does a mobile mechanic cost?
Pricing depends on the vehicle and the job, so it isn't something to guess at online. Call 027 843 0170 and describe the problem to get a straight answer.
Can you do a warrant check-up before I buy a car?
A pre-purchase inspection checks the mechanical condition of a car before you commit to buying it. It's worth booking for private sales where there's no dealer backing the sale, call 027 843 0170 to arrange one.
What areas around Napier do you cover?
Marewa is the base, with jobs generally happening anywhere across Napier's suburbs from Taradale to Bay View. Ring 027 843 0170 with your address to confirm it's within reach.
My car won't start, is that something you can fix on-site?
A no-start is often the battery, starter or a wiring fault, and a lot of that can be diagnosed at the roadside. Call 027 843 0170 and describe the symptoms so it's clear what's needed.
