Whether it’s work, the kids, traffic… there’s always something stopping you taking time out to get your car repaired until it breaks down on you.
This is one of the reasons why we’ve seen a number of mobile mechanics appearing on Cayman roads. Mobile mechanics more often than not usually operate from a fully stocked van and can perform almost all the same tasks remotely as a traditional garage – with a few, rare exception. But just like with traditional auto garages, make sure to know that there are both good and not-so-good mobile mechanic companies.
Here are some reasons to consider using a Mobile Mechanic Service:
1) They come to you (not the other way round)
One of the most obvious benefits of using a mobile mechanic is that they come to your home or workplace – seven days a week. Many will also travel to get to you. And, as long you have somewhere flat, safe and is away from the main roads, they can crack on leaving you to carry on with work.
2) They come to you if you have broken down
If you find yourself stranded on the side of the road, a mobile mechanic will be able to get out to you and should be able to fix your vehicle on the spot, saving you the hassle of calling a breakdown service and getting them to recover your car to the nearest garage.
3) They carry out most servicing and repairs
Mobile mechanics are fully qualified to carry out all necessary repairs on your car, from brakes to batteries and everything in between. There will be some repairs that they can’t do (engine or transmission rebuilds) but the mechanic will be able to advise you of this prior to booking so that you can organise for this work to be carried out in a garage.
4) They tend to be cheaper than garages
Although not always the case, by and large, mobile mechanics tend to be cheaper than their garage counterparts, thanks to their lower overheads – savings which they can pass on to you, the customer.
5) You can see the work being carried out
The great thing about a mobile mechanic is that you can see exactly what they are doing on your driveaway. It also makes it easier if they have questions or they need to discuss replacement parts.
So next time you need some work doing to your car, and you are struggling to get to your local garage, make sure to consider using a mobile mechanic.
