Mobile Mechanic Services in Winchester
Problem Solved brings the mechanic to you: servicing, brakes, batteries and more, carried out at your home in Winchester or a nearby village. Here is what each service covers.
Mobile Mechanic in Winchester
Problem Solved is run by Jess, a female mechanic who works as a mobile mechanic across Winchester and the villages around it. Rather than you dropping the car at a garage and finding a way home, Jess drives to you and does the work at your house, on your driveway or another off-road space.
Most of what a car needs between MOTs can be done this way: servicing, brake pads and discs, batteries, bulbs and wiper blades, safety checks and finding the cause of a warning light. Before anything starts, Jess explains what the car needs and what it will cost, so there are no surprises when the job is done.
A Mobile Mechanic Near Me, Across Winchester
If you have been searching for a mobile mechanic near me, Problem Solved works across Winchester itself, from Weeke and Harestock to Stanmore, Badger Farm and St Cross, and out to the villages around the city, such as Kings Worthy, Littleton, Twyford and Hursley.
Because Jess comes to you, where you live matters more than where a garage is. If your town or village is not on the list of areas, get in touch and ask: it may well be within reach.
Mobile Car Mechanic for Everyday Jobs
Plenty of car jobs are small but fiddly. Fitting a headlight bulb or a new set of wiper blades is rarely as simple as the instructions make it look, and Jess can save you the frustration.
A safety check looks over the parts that keep you safe on the road: the tyres and their tread depth, shock absorbers, suspension bushes, brakes, steering, the spare wheel and safety kit, with an eye out for leaks. If a warning light has come on, Jess can check the car over to find what is causing it. Her customers’ vehicles have ranged from a Mercedes B-Class to a Ford Transit van.
Emergency Mobile Mechanic: When Your Car Lets You Down
When a car will not start on the driveway, or a warning light comes on and you are not sure whether it is safe to drive, the quickest step is to call or WhatsApp Jess on 07394 107418 and describe what is happening.
A flat or failing battery is one of the most common reasons a car will not start, and a new battery can be fitted where the car is parked. Jess will tell you honestly whether it is a job she can sort at your home, and when she can get to you.
Mobile Car Servicing at Your Home
Jess offers three levels of car service. An interim service is an oil and oil filter change, normally done if you reach about 10,000 miles between annual services.
A full service, usually once a year, adds a new air filter and cabin filter, a check of the spark plugs on petrol cars, new wiper blades, a diesel filter on diesel cars when one is due, topped-up coolant, screenwash and brake fluid, and a safety check. A major service includes all of that, plus a new battery for your key fob and a fuel purge to clean the fuel system.
Mobile Brake Repair: Pads and Discs
Squealing or grinding when you brake, a pedal that feels different or a car that pulls to one side are all reasons to have the brakes looked at. Jess replaces brake pads, discs or both, depending on what your car needs.
While the wheels are off, she cleans up the calipers, bleeds the brakes, tops up the brake fluid and checks the whole system for leaks, so the job is finished properly rather than just swapped.
Mobile Clutch Replacement
A worn clutch usually tells you it is going: the engine revs rise without the car speeding up, the biting point creeps higher, the car judders as you pull away, or gears become hard to select.
A clutch replacement is a much bigger job than a service, so the first step is a conversation. Call or WhatsApp Jess with the make, model and what you have noticed, and she will talk you through the work, where it can be done and the price before anything is booked.
Mobile Battery Replacement
Not every car that is slow to start needs a new battery, so Jess tests it first and tells you whether a replacement is really needed. If it is, she makes sure the right battery for your car is chosen and fits it at your home, even when the old one is stuck fast.
The old battery is recycled in line with the regulations, and the new one is tested to make sure the alternator is charging it as it should.
