How to Choose a Mobile Mechanic in WA

Check that the repair business is appropriately licensed, request a clear quote or estimate and confirm what work requires approval.

Start with clear information

Tell the repairer exactly what the car is doing, when the problem began, whether warning lights are showing and what work was recently completed. Provide the vehicle make, model, year and location.

Ask before work begins

Confirm the call-out arrangement, diagnostic charges, labour rate and whether parts are included. Ask for approval to be obtained before additional repairs are undertaken.

Know when a workshop is safer

Mobile service is practical for many common jobs, but work requiring a hoist, specialised machinery, extensive dismantling or an unsuitable roadside location may need a workshop.
