Here’s a common question you hear when mentioning roadside assistance: Does a mobile car mechanic do “real” repairs? Or does the technician merely complete the simplest repair possible in the hopes the car can be driven to a local car service shop for a “real” repair? Do you find yourself wondering if you will actually end up paying more than necessary because the mobile car mechanic is really a towing expert and not a true mechanic?
It’s true that the early days of mobile car repairs involved mostly flat fire fixing, battery jumping, or towing. But that was emergency service and not auto repair service. There is an enormous difference between the two. Emergency service is intended to get your car to the nearest service centre for a more complete repair. A mobile car mechanic, on the other hand, is a full service technician who brings the repair shop to your car location.
In an emergency repair, the bare minimum may be done depending on your goal. When you schedule mobile car service, on the other hand, the goal is to get your car repaired as if you had taken it to the local car service centre.
Major and Minor Repairs
Diagnostic technology and technician training has made it possible to take the repair shop on the road so to speak. It used to be that serious car repairs had to be completed inside a well equipped auto shop because large equipment was required for testing purposes. Repairs may or may not need elaborate equipment.
Computerisation today has made it possible to do the same kind of diagnostic testing on cars in the field that had to be done inside repair shops previously. When diagnostic ability is combined with mobile mechanic expertise, there is no doubt there are very real repairs that can be done efficiently onsite.
• Brakes
• Electrical
• Air Conditioning
• Suspension
• Gear Box
• Cooling or Radiator
• Cylinder Heads
• Exhaust
• Engine Repairs
• General Tune-Ups and Maintenance
Mobile car mechanics can complete complex car repairs wherever you car is located. For example, fuel injectors can be repaired; brake master cylinders replaced; air conditioner compressors replaced; or catalytic converters installed. You can get a new alternator installed; have an electrical short identified and eliminated; get engine diagnostic testing; or get your horn fixed. Real repairs that go far beyond flat tires and dead batteries are handled by mobile car mechanics.
The Reality of “Real”
When your car breaks down, a “real” repair suddenly becomes anything that gets your vehicle running again. Replacing a dead battery can seem very real when you’re late for an appointment. But today’s professional mobile mechanics are experts in using the latest technology to make complicated repairs to your car engine and wiring.
The modern mobile mechanic can handle the most complex mechanical problem that once required leaving your car at a service shop for days. It’s a new technological age that has led to complicated field repairs you can schedule at your convenience.
What are “real” are the high quality on-site auto repair services you can schedule by calling a mobile mechanic.

What To Do When the Car Problem is Intermittent
By: Martin Mansour | 30/07/2009 | CarsIt seems to be one of life’s mysteries that happen at some point to every car owner: an intermittent problem develops that can’t be recreated at the mechanic’s shop. It can be as simple as a dash light that flashes on and off every now and then or as serious as an engine that stalls while driving on the highway at high speeds. Of course, with an intermittent problem the light flashes on and off with no pattern and the engine doesn’t always stall – just every so often!

How to Prevent Breakdowns on the Road
By: Martin Mansour | 10/06/2009 | AutomotiveIt is amazing that many auto breakdowns that occur while on the road could have been avoided with some simple and regular car maintenance. That seems obvious, but yet it is common to see a car stranded on the side of the road with the owner impatiently waiting for assistance. Most people would agree it is much nicer to be sitting in the comfort of the home or office while the car is being maintained rather than stuck on the roadside with a car not going anywhere until repaired.
