All makes and models, across Sussex

Everything we can do on your driveway.

We run a mobile workshop, which means the diagnostic equipment, the tools and the jack come to wherever the vehicle is sitting. Most jobs are finished there and then.

For the bigger ones we now have a unit, so a job that wants a full day under cover has somewhere to go.

The full list

If what you need is missing from this, ring and ask. The answer is usually yes.

  • Fault diagnosis

    Engine management lights, limp mode, misfires and the faults that only happen when it rains. We read the codes, then we test what they point at.

  • Interim and full servicing

    Oil and oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, fluid levels, and an inspection of tyres, brakes and suspension while the wheels are off. Service light reset before we go.

  • Brakes

    Discs, pads, shoes, calipers, flexi hoses and fluid changes. Including the grinding noise you have been turning the radio up over.

  • Suspension and steering

    Shock absorbers, coil springs, drop links, wishbones and track rod ends. The knock over bumps, the wander on the motorway, the uneven tyre wear.

  • Engine repairs

    Alternators, starters, auxiliary belts, injectors and seals, sensors and timing work. Diesel leaks and smoke traced to the part causing them.

  • Cooling systems

    Radiators, water pumps, thermostats, hoses and fans. Refilled with the right coolant, bled properly and pressure tested before it goes back on the road.

  • Electric and hybrid

    Servicing, diagnostics and repairs on EVs and hybrids, by a mechanic qualified to work on them. Hybrids get the same full service as anything else.

  • ECU diagnostics and software

    Identification, reading and backup on the bench, then the software work the job calls for, tested and verified afterwards.

  • Performance work

    For owners who want more from the car they already have. Tell us what you are after and we will tell you what is sensible for the engine.

  • Welding repairs

    Exhaust sections, brackets, sills and the structural welding that gets a sound car through its next test.

What a full service includes

The same list every time, on petrol, diesel and hybrid alike.

  • Engine oil and oil filter replaced
  • Air filter replaced
  • Cabin and pollen filter replaced
  • Fluid levels checked and topped up
  • Tyres, brakes and suspension inspected
  • Full vehicle health check
  • Service light reset before we leave

Due a service and not sure which one you need? Ring and we will tell you.

What diagnostics actually means

A code reader tells you where to look. It does not tell you what is broken.

  • Fault codes read and recorded
  • Live data taken while the fault is happening
  • The circuit or component the code points at, tested
  • ECU identified, read and backed up where software is involved
  • The cause confirmed before any part is ordered
  • Codes cleared and the repair road tested

This is the step people ring us for after somebody else has already had a look.

Questions we get asked a lot

We do the repairs, and the test itself happens at an approved test centre. A mobile mechanic cannot issue an MOT certificate, because the test has to be carried out on approved equipment. Send us your failure sheet or a photo of it and we will quote for the work on it.

Almost always. We need somewhere reasonably flat and enough room to get a jack under it and a door open. A driveway, a work car park or a quiet residential street all work. If the spot is going to be a problem we will say so on the phone rather than turning up and telling you then.

Nothing, and there is no obligation attached to it. Tell us what the vehicle is doing and we will give you a price for putting it right.

Twelve months on every part we fit.

Yes. We are qualified on EV and hybrid, so a hybrid gets the same full service as anything else.

We have a unit, so anything that wants a full day under cover has somewhere to go. We will tell you which it is going to be when we quote.

Not sure which one you need?

Describe what the vehicle is doing and we will tell you what it sounds like and what it would cost to look at properly.
