WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

I can't say thank you enough for the wonderful service that I received, a lot of
useful information and recommendations for what needs to be done. Mechanic
turned up and got straight to work on my vehicle, got it running very quickly. I
am very keen to use this service again.
Andrew, West Midlands
Very friendly and professional mechanic. Arrived at the time stated. He
completed the full service and told me about jobs that might need doing soon
e.g. tyres and battery change.
Richard, West Midlands
Cheaper and more convenient than using a garage, where I would have to drop off
and leave all day and then return to pick it up before the closing time. The way
forward.
Karl, West Midlands
Fantastic service. Indy was really good. He was both friendly but professional,
with excellent communication both before and during the job. This is exactly the
way you want to be treated. Would use again without hesitation.
Adam, West Midlands
A job well done. It took him just under an hour saving me precious time. This
service should have been available a long time ago.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


Q. WHAT IS A MOBILE MECHANIC?

A mobile mechanic operates out of a van, instead of a garage. This means they
can come to you to carry out repairs or servicing – instead of the other way
around. For example, they can service your car at your home or work – whichever
is more convenient. And if it turns out that you need a more complex repair when
they arrive, they can recommend a garage to you.


Q. HOW CAN I FIND A MOBILE MECHANIC?

You can find mobile mechanics online through aggregator websites or local
mechanics offering mobile services, but it’s important to find one from a brand
you can trust.

To find a trusted RAC Mobile Mechanic, just enter your postcode and we’ll look
for one near you. At the moment, our mobile mechanics are only available in
certain parts of the UK.


Q. WHAT CAN A MOBILE MECHANIC DO?

Most mobile mechanics can do standard servicing checks and repairs like changing
your oil or replacing your brake pads.

RAC Mobile Mechanics can carry out full services, interim services, full
diagnostic checks and oil changes. They can also make some repairs, including
replacing your brakes, springs and filters.


Q. HOW MUCH IS A MOBILE MECHANIC?

The cost of a mobile mechanic depends on the kind of repair or service you need.

With RAC Mobile Mechanics you can get a full service from just £185†, and an oil
change from £135†. The best way to get an idea of cost is to get a quote.


Q. CAN A MOBILE MECHANIC COME TO MY PLACE OF WORK?

Yes, our mobile mechanics can come to your workplace, as long as your car’s
parked on a flat, even surface, isn’t on the road, and your mechanic can access
all sides.

We can also come to your home if it’s more convenient.


Q. DO I NEED TO BE AT HOME DURING THE REPAIR OR SERVICE?

Your mobile mechanic needs to get your car keys from yourself or someone acting
on your behalf.

But once they have your keys, you can carry on with your day. On the day,
they’ll call when they’re on the way to make arrangements.


Q. CAN MOBILE MECHANICS DO MOTS?

Our mobile mechanics can’t carry out MOTs. But we do have a network of local RAC
Approved Garages that can do MOTs.


Q. DO CAR MECHANICS COME TO YOUR HOUSE?

Most mechanics work out of a garage, but you can get special mobile mechanics
who’ll come to your house to look at your car.

If you need a service or repair, RAC mobile mechanics will come to you, whether
it’s your home or workplace. Next day bookings are available, so you could be
sorted sooner than you think.


Q. HOW DO I FIND TRUSTWORTHY LOCAL MECHANICS?

Whether you’re getting a service or a repair, it’s important to find a mechanic
you can trust. Your best option is to find a mechanic or garage who are trained
or endorsed by a respected brand.

RAC Mobile Mechanics are fully trained by the RAC, one of the most trusted
motoring brands in the UK. Or for garage work, look for RAC Approved Garages –
they’re regularly inspected by the RAC, and they work to a code of conduct
developed and approved by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute.


Q. WHAT’S INCLUDED IN A FULL SERVICE?

We’ll check your brakes, battery, tyres, steering, suspension, radiator, lights,
wipers and more, just like in an interim service. And on top of that, we’ll also
carry out a full charging system test, check your engine bay pipes and hoses,
inspect your air filter and replace it if necessary, and run a full diagnostic
test to check for any hidden problems.

And as with an interim service, we’ll also change your engine oil and oil
filter, and make sure your brake fluid and windscreen wash are topped up.

Plus we’ll top up your power steering fluid if it’s running low. And as with an
interim service, we’ll run a general road test before and after to make sure
everything’s working properly.


Q. HOW LONG WILL A FULL SERVICE TAKE?

In general, our mobile mechanics aim to complete a full service within 1 hour 45
minutes. But depending on things like what car you have and where it’s parked,
it can sometimes take longer.

For example, on some types of car it might be harder to access the oil filter.
And if the car isn’t parked in a safe location it might need to be moved, which
takes time. We’ll let you know roughly how long we think it will take on the
day, to make sure it’s as convenient as possible.

We might notice additional repairs your car needs during the service. If so,
we’ll quote for this work – if we can do it on the same day, and you’re happy
with this, we’ll do this extra work after your service. Of course that can add
to the time it takes to work on your car.


Q. DOES THE FULL SERVICE INCLUDE THE GEARBOX OIL CHANGE?

Our full service doesn’t include a gearbox oil change – just a standard oil
change and oil filter change.

But it’s easy to have your gearbox oil changed at an RAC Approved Garage.


Q. WHAT’S INCLUDED IN AN INTERIM SERVICE?

We’ll check your brakes, battery, steering, suspension, wheels and tyres, as
well as your radiator, lights, wipers and more.

Our mobile mechanics will also change your engine oil and oil filter, and make
sure your brake fluid and windscreen wash are topped up.

We’ll run a general road test before and after the service, to make sure
everything’s working properly.


Q. HOW LONG WILL AN INTERIM SERVICE TAKE?

We aim to complete an interim service in around 1 hour.

But if your car is a specific model with hard-to-access parts, or it needs to be
moved to a more suitable location for the service, it can take longer.

To help make your interim service as quick as possible, make sure your car’s
parked on a flat surface, somewhere safe and easily accessible.


Q. WHAT’S INCLUDED IN AN OIL CHANGE?

It’s important to get your oil changed regularly, to make sure your engine is
running efficiently and prevent damage.

An oil and filter change will take about 50 minutes. We’ll look for any leaks,
then drain your engine oil and refill it with the grade and type of oil
recommended by the manufacturer (or higher). We’ll also change your oil filter
at the same time.


Q. HOW LONG WILL AN OIL CHANGE TAKE?

We usually aim to change your oil within 60 minutes. But it can take longer,
depending on various factors like the make and model of your car.

If we think it's likely to take longer, we'll keep you updated on the day. If
you need your car back by a certain time, please let your mobile mechanic know.

To make your oil change as quick as possible, make sure you're parked on a flat
surface, somewhere that's safe and easily accessible on all sides. Otherwise we
may need to move your car, which can delay the oil change.


Q. WHAT OIL IS USED?

We’ll always use the grade and specification of oil that your vehicle’s
manufacturer recommends, at no extra cost.

This makes sure your warranties are still valid. Many providers charge extra for
larger vehicles, like vans, that might need more oil.

But we won’t charge you more for any additional oil that you need. No matter
what type of vehicle you have.


Q. CAN I ADD AN MOT ON MY FULL SERVICE?

Our mobile mechanics can’t complete an MOT – an MOT requires specialist
equipment that means it needs to be done in a garage.

If you want a full service from a mobile mechanic and an MOT, let us know when
booking your service.

We’ll send you details about your closest RAC Approved Garage, so you can then
book your MOT for another day.


Q. ARE THERE ANY BLUE LIGHT CARD DISCOUNTS?

We don't have any exclusive offers on mobile mechanic work for Blue Light Card
at the moment.

But we do have Blue Light Card discounts on lots of our other products, like UK
breakdown cover and European breakdown cover.


Q. IF THERE ARE ANY PROBLEMS AFTER THE SERVICE, WHO WOULD I CONTACT?

Our mobile mechanics undergo vigorous training, and we fit quality parts with a
12-month guarantee.

But if you do experience any problems, we’re on hand to help. Just call our team
on 0333 070 2784 or email SMRT@rac.co.uk. Lines are open 9-5, Monday to Friday,
and we aim to respond to any email queries within 48 hours.


Q. ARE THE PARTS USED OEM?

Yes. We use original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts, which means every new
part will be the same standard and same quality as the original part it
replaced.

Plus all work comes with a 12-month parts guarantee, so if anything does go
wrong with a part, we’ll replace it for free - leaving you with complete peace
of mind.


Q. WHAT OIL FILTER BRAND IS USED?

In the majority of cases we aim to use Bosch oil filters. If they aren’t
available for any reason, we’ll always use a filter of equal or higher standard.


Q. DO I GET AN INVOICE AND PAPERWORK?

Yes. Once we’ve finished repair work, you’ll get a full post-repair report,
along with an invoice.

With a full service, you’ll get a full service sheet breakdown which lists any
further work your car might need now or in the near future.

We’ll also talk this through with you on the day to give you complete peace of
mind.


Q. WILL I GET A BOOKING CONFIRMATION?

Yes. Once you’ve picked your mobile mechanic or approved garage, they’ll get in
touch to confirm a date and time for the job, and send you a confirmation.


Q. WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE FOR THE MECHANIC TO USE MY OIL? I’VE ALREADY PURCHASED
SOME

We only use high-quality parts and oils, to make sure our work is of the highest
quality – and that your warranty is still valid.

That means we won’t use oil we haven’t supplied ourselves, as we can’t guarantee
its quality.


Q. CAN I ALSO GET A GEARBOX OIL CHANGE FROM MY MOBILE MECHANIC?

It depends on your vehicle.

Many modern gearboxes can’t be accessed without specialist equipment, which
means you may need to go to an RAC Approved Garage to get yours replaced.


Q. DO YOU TAKE CREDIT CARD?

Yes. We accept all major credits cards except American Express.


Q. CAN YOU UPLOAD THE SERVICE HISTORY ON THE ONBOARD COMPUTER, AND RESET MY
SERVICE MESSAGES?

We can reset service message intervals on your dashboard, but at the moment we
aren’t able to upload the service history.
