Common questions

Do I need a driveway?

A private driveway or safe off-road bay is best for most jobs. Quick diagnostics can sometimes be done in a permitted roadside space if there’s room to work safely.

What is the labour rate and call-out?

Labour is £70 per hour + VAT. Call-out is £30 + VAT on jobs under 2 hours (waived over 2 hours, and £0 in Urmston, Flixton, Carrington & Partington). Basic/full services within 7 miles: no call-out. Outside 7 miles: £30 + VAT call-out on every job. See pricing & policies.

Will mobile servicing affect my manufacturer warranty?

Under UK Block Exemption rules, an independent qualified technician using OE-spec parts and the correct oils keeps your warranty intact. We document the work properly.

What cars do you cover?

Diagnostics are Volkswagen Group only — VW, Audi, SEAT, Škoda and MAN TGE. Mechanical work such as brakes, suspension and servicing is fine on other brands unless we say otherwise.

Can you fit parts I’ve bought myself?

Yes. There’s a £60 + VAT fitting fee on top of labour. There’s no warranty on customer-supplied parts — only on the workmanship.

How do I pay?

Bank transfer, cash, or credit/debit card. Every job is VAT invoiced.
