You book online by selecting services, picking a date and time, and paying a small deposit. Our mechanic arrives at your home or workplace in a fully-stocked van, completes the work on your driveway, and you pay the balance.
For workshop-only jobs (where a vehicle ramp is required, like clutch replacement or major engine work), we collect the car, do the work at our garage, and return it to you.
What's included in the price?
All quoted prices include labour, fluids, consumables, and disposal fees. Parts are quoted separately unless explicitly stated as a fixed package (like our MOT Concierge at £100 all-in).
If we source the parts, you get a 12-month parts & labour warranty. If you supply your own parts, we warranty the labour only.
What if I'm not sure what's wrong with my car?
Book a Diagnostic Session — our technician arrives with full Snap-On equipment, scans all your ECUs, road-tests if needed, and gives you a written report with the fault and the cost to fix.
If you book the repair with us afterwards, the diagnostic fee is deducted from the repair cost.
Can I cancel or change my booking?
Yes — free cancellation more than 24 hours before your slot if no parts have been ordered. See our cancellations policy for full details.
To reschedule, just call us — we'll find another slot that works for you.
