What is a mobile mechanic?
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
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.
In general, our mobile mechanics aim to complete a full service within 1 hour 30 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.
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.
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.
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.
Our mobile mechanics undergo rigorous training, and we fit quality parts with a 12-month guarantee.
