Bognor Regis to Eastbourne, and up to Crawley

A mechanic who comes to your drive.

Diagnostics, clutches, brakes, cambelts and servicing, carried out where your car is parked. Seven days a week, with the price agreed before I start.

Twenty Google reviews, and every one of them is five stars

Here is what people keep writing about, in their own words, across all twenty.

  • I come to you

    Your drive, the work car park, the side of the road. The car stays where it is and your day carries on around me.

  • Often the same day

    Tell me what the car is doing and I will tell you when I can get there. Plenty of jobs go out the same day, and I have worked a Sunday for a clutch.

  • You see the work

    I show you the old part and tell you what went wrong, so you can see what you paid for.

  • A price before I start

    Send me your registration and you get an accurate quote for the job, parts included.

  • Card at the kerb

    Credit card, debit card or contactless on your phone, paid when the work is finished.

  • Seven days a week

    Weekdays and weekends, well into the evening. Most of my work happens around other people's working hours.

What I can take on

Most of it happens on your driveway. The rest I will tell you about honestly before you book.

  • Diagnostics

    Warning lights, odd noises, misfires and running faults. I plug in, work out what is actually causing it, and tell you what I found before anything gets replaced.

  • Clutch replacement

    Slipping, heavy, or juddering off the line. The clutch, release bearing and flywheel all get looked at while the gearbox is out, because that is the expensive part to go back into.

  • Brakes

    Pads, discs and calipers, plus a proper look at the whole system. Done on your drive in an afternoon.

  • Cambelts

    Belt, tensioner and water pump replaced at the manufacturer's interval. A cambelt is cheap next to the engine it protects.

  • Full servicing

    Oil, filters and a full check over the car, with anything starting to wear flagged while it is still a small job.

  • Oil and filter changes

    Quality oil and a new filter, usually inside an hour, with the old oil taken away.

  • Battery replacement

    Flat on the drive or flat in the work car park. I bring the battery, test the charging system while I am there, and take the old one away.

  • Suspension

    Shocks, springs and coilovers. An alignment afterwards is worth doing and I will say so.

  • Steering repairs

    Track rods, arms, joints and racks inspected and replaced so the car goes where you point it.

  • Wheel bearings

    That hum that rises with speed and changes as you corner. Replaced on the roadside or the drive.

  • Pre purchase inspections

    Before you hand over the money, I go over the car and tell you what you are actually buying. One of my reviews is from somebody who had me do exactly that.

  • MOT repairs

    Send me the test sheet, or a photo of it, and you get a quote for the work that failed. The test itself has to happen at a test centre.

How a booking works

Four steps, and the second one is the one that makes the price accurate.

Get in touch
01

Call, text or WhatsApp

Tell me what the car is doing and roughly where it is. Most people text, and that works fine.

The quote
02

Send me your registration

The registration tells me the engine and the parts it takes, so the price is for your car.

The visit
03

I come to the car

Your drive, your office car park, wherever it is sitting. Most jobs finish in one visit.

Settle up
04

Pay at the kerb

Card, debit card or contactless when the job is done and you have seen the work.

What people say afterwards

Brad was brilliant from start to finish. We booked everything over text, even discussing what the job was and what part needed to be replaced. He was professional and personable from the off. He did the exact job he said he would do with zero fuss and made sure the car was completely ready before finishing the job.

Incredibly knowledgeable and speedily sorted. Diagnosed in 5 mins and job was done the same day - total time was a matter of minutes and a lifesaver for the day. Fitted us in at the last minute too.

He inspected a car I was about to buy, really well priced to view it and put through his rigourous checks. He went the extra mile and stayed to help with any questions, he worked hard inspecting the whole of the car with expertise and it helped me a lot.

Brad came out on a Sunday as I was having clutch issues, he quickly diagnosed the problem. He ordered the parts that were needed and fixed my car once the parts arrived. He was very reliable, quick and a good price. Will definitely use him again.

Found him to be very helpful with the situation going on with my car. He came out the same day when I messaged with the problem and found it very quick. I will now be a regular customer of his. Very affordable as well and listen to what you have yo say but also shows you what he is doing and explains why. Very respectful as well.

A wide patch, covered properly

I work along the coast and inland, and I would rather tell you on the phone that you are a stretch than turn up late.

  • Shoreham-by-Sea, Lancing, Worthing and Sompting
  • Brighton, Hove, Portslade and Southwick
  • Littlehampton, Rustington, Bognor Regis and Chichester
  • Horsham, Crawley, Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill
  • Lewes, Newhaven, Seaford, Peacehaven and Eastbourne

Near the edge of that? Ring me and I will give you a straight answer.

Questions I get asked a lot

I do the repairs, and the test itself happens at a test centre. A mobile mechanic cannot issue an MOT certificate, because the test has to be done on approved equipment. Send me your test sheet or a photo of it and I will quote for the work that failed.

Send me your registration along with a description of the fault. It tells me the engine and the parts the job takes, so the price is built from what your car actually needs. You get it before I start.

A driveway, a work car park or a space on the road all work. I need enough room to get the car safely up on a jack and move around it.

Once the quote is agreed I order the part, then come back and fit it. That is how most of the bigger jobs run, clutches especially.

Credit card, debit card or contactless on your phone, once the work is finished and you have seen it.

Yes, seven days a week and into the evening. A lot of my work happens around other people's working hours.

Tell me what the car is doing

A call, a text or a WhatsApp is enough to start. Send your registration with it and the quote comes back accurate.
