More about engine repairs and rebuildsWhere the work is done
Mobile vehicle repairs on your drive, bigger jobs in the workshop
Most repairs and servicing can be done wherever the car is parked. When a job needs a ramp or an engine crane, we collect the car and bring it back, so either way you don’t have to go anywhere.
At your home or workplace
The mechanic comes to you with the tools, diagnostics and parts.
- Car servicing and oil changes
- Diagnostics and fault finding
- Batteries, starter motors and alternators
- Brake discs and pads
- Suspension, coil springs and wheel bearings
- Coolant and oil leak repairs
- Pre-MOT checks
Pick-up and drop-off
For big jobs that need an equipped workshop.
- Engine rebuilds and engine swaps
- Cylinder head gaskets
- Larger timing belt, wet belt and chain jobs
- Anything that needs the car in the air for a long time
- Collected from you and returned when it’s done
Clutches and timing belts depend on the car: some can be done on a drive, others are better in the workshop. Tell us the make, model and registration and we’ll tell you which applies to yours.

Car won’t start?
Car won’t start? What the symptoms usually mean
A car that won’t start can’t be driven to a garage, which is why a mobile mechanic makes sense. What it does when you turn the key is the first clue.
- Usually: Battery
Rapid clicking, dim dash lights
The battery is flat or at the end of its life. It can be tested, and replaced on the spot if it has failed.
- Usually: Starter motor
One loud click, then nothing
The battery is fine but the starter isn’t turning the engine. Starter motors can usually be changed on your drive.
- Usually: Fuel, ignition or a sensor
Turns over but won’t fire
The engine spins but doesn’t catch. A diagnostic scan and a few tests narrow it down to the part at fault.
- Usually: Alternator
Battery light on, or it keeps going flat
The alternator has stopped charging the battery, so every start drains it further until there’s nothing left.
- Usually: Connection or main fuse
Completely dead, no lights at all
Often a loose or corroded battery terminal, or a blown main fuse. Usually a quick fix once it’s found.
Not sure which it is?
You don’t need to be. Describe what the car does and we’ll take it from there.

Customer feedback
What customers say about their mobile mechanic
Summarised, not quoted, from customer reviews on Albert’s ClickMechanic profile, where every review follows a completed booking. You can read the originals there. Ratings as of October 2026.
Honest, professional and open about everything. He explained each repair before he started and showed me the old parts afterwards, and the price was well below what most garages had quoted.
Friendly, informative and professional. The car was moving again just when I needed it.
On time, polite and very quick, even though the belt on this car is an awkward one to change.

Mobile mechanic Shrewsbury: your questions answered
The things people ask most before booking a mobile mechanic. If yours isn’t here, call 07477 397009 and ask.
How does a mobile mechanic in Shrewsbury work?
You tell us what’s wrong and where the car is, and we come to you: your home, your workplace or the roadside. Fairmile Auto Services brings the tools, the diagnostic equipment and the parts, does the job where the car is parked and hands the keys back when it’s finished. There’s no need to drop the car off or arrange a lift.
What can a mobile mechanic fix on my drive?
More than most people expect. Car servicing, diagnostics, batteries, starter motors, alternators, brake discs and pads, suspension, coil springs, wheel bearings, and oil and coolant leaks can all be done at your home or workplace. All we need is a safe, fairly level place to work.
My car won’t start. Can a mechanic come out to it?
Yes, that’s exactly what a mobile mechanic is for. We test the battery, the starter motor and the charging system, and scan for fault codes, where the car is parked. Batteries, starter motors and alternators can usually be replaced on the spot, so there’s no recovery truck to pay for.
Do you offer an emergency mobile mechanic service?
Yes. We’re open seven days a week and offer same-day call-outs whenever the diary allows. Call 07477 397009, tell us where you are and what has happened, and we’ll tell you honestly how soon we can get to you. We are not a 24-hour recovery service, so if you’re in danger at the roadside, call 999 or your breakdown provider first.
Can you service my car at home?
Yes. Car servicing is carried out on your drive or at your workplace. The engine oil and oil filter are changed, the air and fuel filters are checked and replaced when due, and the brakes, tyres, suspension, lights, fluid levels and belts are looked over. We can also carry out pre-MOT checks before the test.
How much does a mobile mechanic cost in Shrewsbury?
It depends on the car and the job, so we don’t publish a one-size-fits-all price list. Tell us your registration number and what’s wrong, and you’ll get a clear price before any work starts. If we find something else once we’re working on the car, we’ll explain it and you decide whether to go ahead.
Do you replace timing belts, wet belts and timing chains?
Yes, it’s one of our specialisms. We replace dry timing belts, wet belts that run in oil, and timing chains, and have particular experience with Peugeot, Citroën, Renault, Ford and Vauxhall engines. Timing belts need changing somewhere between 40,000 and 100,000 miles depending on the engine.
What happens if the job is too big to do at my home?
Some work, such as engine rebuilds, engine swaps and cylinder head gaskets, needs an equipped workshop. For those jobs we offer pick-up and drop-off: we collect the car, carry out the work and return it to you, so you still don’t need to arrange transport.
Which makes and models do you work on?
All makes and models. Recent jobs include a Volkswagen Golf, a Mercedes-Benz A-Class, a MINI, a Fiat Punto, a Peugeot 2008 and a Range Rover Sport. We also look after business vehicles with fleet maintenance.
Is your mechanic qualified?
Yes. Albert, who founded Fairmile Auto Services and carries out the work, is NVQ Level 3 qualified with 14 years of professional experience. Fairmile Auto Services Ltd is a registered company, number 16545445. On ClickMechanic he is rated 4.9 out of 5 from 32 customer ratings, and the business is rated 5.0 from 8 reviews on Google.
Which areas do you cover?
Shrewsbury and its suburbs, including Meole Brace, Belle Vue, Copthorne, Monkmoor and Harlescott, the villages around the town such as Bayston Hill, Pontesbury and Baschurch, and the wider county: Wem, Telford, Oswestry, Market Drayton and Whitchurch. The coverage page lists every area.
