[melb] Mobile Mechanics

[EK4R]

anyone had used them or have experience with them? ppl like lubemobile etc.

my gf's car wont start, probably distributor and i have no time to fix it. i would get it towed but this was the other option i thought of.

let me know what your guys experience was and any recommendations. price wise are they similiar to most mechanics? factoring in the towing price to get it down to a shop also

i called to get a quote to replace wheel bearings (fronts)
$600

bought new bearings($140) and a hydraulic press($200) instead.

Mobile Car Care (Melb), seem to be quite good. Upfront, honest and no hidden costs.
Well that was my experience.
Hope it helps.

thanks man will give them a call and check it out

i got a quote from lube mobile today..600 bux for distributor and leads change...

well honestly dizzy is about 400 odd <cost me that much on my teggy>. leads not sure.
but all in all 600 is fairly decent. had lube mobile do my old car when the drive shaft came off. they were up front with the cost and a job well done. id call em again in an emergency. if your fussy about the cost might as well do a DIY cause its not that hard.

Take the dizzy cap off first and check for corrosion. Clean with a wirebrush/sandpaper or just scrape at the contacts on the cap side with a screwdriver.
