As a mobile mechanic, I have been busy during lockdown providing my usual roadside service whilst adhering to social distance and hygiene guidelines. I chat to lots of car owners every day and several have expressed concern that they can’t get through to their car finance companies to discuss a payment holiday. For anyone experiencing Read more »
As your reliable mobile mechanic in Cardiff, I was keen to check out The Department of Transport’s new online tool which analyses road accidents on a local level. When I get called out, I want it to be for a minor breakdown. This new tool is actually pretty cool. Results can be filtered by weather Read more »
I’m very happy to be a mobile mechanic for cars and vans, but I’m becoming increasingly aware that I need to develop skills to cope with cars of the future. Like many people, I had assumed that fully automated cars were decades away. Until now. Our society has been pushed into unchartered territory by the Read more »
During these difficult times we are aiming to remain open to keep you all on the road. I will be taking extra precautions regarding hygiene: we need to completely minimise contact, so where possible can keys be left for me to collect or put on doorstep upon arrival. Thank you and stay well 😁RATED 5 Read more »

Really disappointed by this service. Called them to help me remove a stuck caliper and put new studs in my wheel hub.He got the caliper off but left the job half finished as there was a screw that he couldn't remove because he didn't have a drill on him as it was "at home charging because it's Friday afternoon".I was informed that there was a call out charge + 1 hour of maintenance of £120. However, I didn't expect to have to pay this in full for half a job.Now £120 lighter and the problem is still not resolved.

What a great service, called explained the issue, Mike predicted the possible outcomes and suggested possible outcomes, turned up early and was really easy going. If you have a issue I definitely recommend this service.

Really gutted to write this review. I used Mike before and trusted him. Mike ordered me a part for my car just over 4 months ago and the part never came. I paid Mike £160 for the part and since it never arrived asked for a refund. Mike said he wouldn’t be out of pocket so he would give me half. I thought this was unfair and wanted a full refund ( I would’ve ordered and sourced a part myself ) Iv given Mike time to chase up with the bank and receive the payment and still nothing. Iv messaged him and now I’m not being replied to. I feel ripped off and down £160 for a part I never had.

I was told my motorhome needed a new engine after breaking down. Then told it was just a new turbo needed. After Mike looked at it he found it was just a split pipe. All repaired and I’m on my way. Quick service. Good communication. Absolutely no complaints.

Mike was the only person I could find to come and look at my car, which had broken down outside my house. Mike came from out of town to come and fix my car. Mike talked me through the issue, showing me the cause. I would highly recommend Mike.

Excellent service, was able to fix OBD port that a garage had diagnosed as broken port and RAC had confirmed this, Mike had it fixed in 5 minutes with changing fuse and no need of expensive OBD port repair.Sadly car is knackered but Mike was able to advise us and put us straight before spending more money on needless repairs.Cheers

Asked Mike to look at a new car before purchasing. Mike was very knowledgable, explained everything and made sure I understood. Mike was accommodating and easy to talk to. Would 100% recommend especially for those who aren’t very knowledgeable before making a big purchase!

Did work on my car. Found to be very expensive. Not 100% reliable. Ended up being fixed only for the problem to come back 2 days later. Ended up taking back to the garage where they were shocked at the very cheap parts that were used.IF YOUR WANTING A PROPER JOB I WOULD AVOID THIS MECHANIC AND TAKE TO A GARAGE.

Legend! Couldn’t believe my luck in finding Mike online, dropped him a text and luckily he had a cancellation and was with us within the hour. Van had broken down the night before and recovery services couldn’t identify what was wrong with it. Mike was certain he knew from my description and within 20mins the van was up and running. Even had some time to put the footballing world to right. Top bloke and will definitely be giving him a call if I’m in need of a mobile mechanic again. Cheers Mike

I hired this mobile mechanic in Cardiff on 28Jun trusting his expertise to help with my car simply based on the high rating here. He charged me over £340 to simply fit a new battery. I was then advised that this mechanic is very irresponsible that he did not rectify the issue at all.I asked Mike on 29Jun about this and he said he did nothing wrong and promised he will fix everything at no cost if the battery fails within 5 years as Halfords has 5 years warranty for car batteries.Because of Mike’s incorrect and unprofessional diagnosis and judgement, my brand-new battery failed after around one month (28Jun-4Aug). I contacted him on 5Aug about this, he said he will try to get me within two days. After that, no message from him. When I asked whether he is still coming, he said he is now in London and will only be able to come after a week.Very disappointed – dont believe the high rating here. The level of service is not up to standard. If you’re relying on your vehicle and expect honest, professional service — look elsewhere.

I called Mike to explain the problem with my car and the steps I'd already tried. He assured me to retry one step and, if it didn't work, to call him back. Following his recommendation, it worked immediately! Mike's helpful advice and information were far better than what I received from main dealerships and local garages. Highly recommend!

Great service by Mike, booked in based on current reviews and I'm glad I did. Really friendly and professional from phone consultation to fixing the problem on the day. Mike discussed in detail what the problem was, how to fix and approx price so I knew exactly what to expect which I can't fault. Would recommend to any friends/family and now I will always check with Mike before anywhere else for any car fixes and services.

Sam Newton

I rang Mike up at 5pm on a Wednesday hoping he could fix my errors with a break pad change, it took him a minute and a half over the phone to tell me where I'd gone wrong and he was right without even coming out to see me. Sorted me right out, would recommend him

Such a hard worker, came to help fit some brake pads on my dad’s car as my dad doesn’t really like travelling places, read some brilliant reviews on mobile Mike so thought we would use this service.Mike did an amazing job even in the rain and the cold. Dad is really happy with the work that was done and we are all really grateful. He smashed it, even gave him a cup of coffee/tea.Please if you do use mikes service offer him a cuppa.

Replaced starter motor for me when it broke then due to work from something else it blew again. Wasn’t his fault but replaced for no charge at all. Had a roadside recovery after that with my van and he sent me to a garage as he said it would be done quicker and cheaper than him doing it. He turned the work away and found me a better altercation to him. If you think there’s a stereotype about mechanics wanting to rip you off he’s 100% not one of them. Great service good price good to chat to. Make sure you boil the kettle before he arrives. He likes a coffee.
John Lloyd

I can wholeheartedly recommend Mike to anyone who wants a skilled mechanic who is reliable, prompt and fairly priced. He installed a starter motor in my ancient Land Rover, working with care given the age of the vehicle and its condition: not a seized or sheared bolt in sight. Really happy with the service given and the quality of the work. He was recommended by a friend. I’d happily recommend him too.

Amazing service.Had a nightmare on way to Cardiff for a camping trip and my truck broke down and went to limp mode.Called on a bank holiday, not expecting an answer and he came and changed my oil, oil filter and fuel filter and managed to sort the fault and get me up and running again, all while carrying out the repairs in a camping site.Fantastic service, professional and incredibly efficient, can't thank him enough.

Due to heavy work commitments on both sides, Mike and I struggled to find a date whereby he could carry out work to my vehicle. We arranged the date - Forecast shows heavy snow. ❄️🙄....I message Mike and say I do not expect him to come. However he says he will do his best to de there regardless of the weather. Thankfully by the time he arrives, the snow has mostly melted. It is still extremely cold and he is wet through from previous jobs with not a dry pair of gloves, out of at least 3 pairs. Yet he completes the job gloveless with city cold hands 🥶Yet again top notch job! Thanks Mike 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Absolutely amazing service.Mike is the most friendly, efficient and reliable mobile mechanic around! Literally the best!I’m the worst nervous driver and had my first flat tyre, had no clue what to do and Mike came to the rescue. Not only did he help change it, he gave me great advice and spent time to teach me what to do too. Communication is amazing and he will squeeze you in to help anyone in need where he can. We’ve used Mike for years now and every service we’ve used him for, whether it be a flat tyre, vehicle service, help with mot prep, vans or cars, everything he has done for us has been superb and I couldn’t thank him more. 100% highly recommended!! Thanks Mike! You are the best!

First time user ..Needed new battery so googled for mobile mechanic read reviews so thought would give him a tryNot disappointed work carried out in a professional and timely manner also had cold weather check.Mike did mention two things I need to fix before MOT in March ( I knew about these already) but it confirmed reviews of his honesty as didn't add anything else as some may do.....I have saved his details and will probably call him in new year to get my car MOT ready
