Post this taskWhat to know about mechanics and car repair
Three vehicle categories sit next to each other and they answer different questions. Car servicing is the schedule — the intervals in the owner’s manual, done by make, whether or not anything is wrong. This page is the fault and the wear: something is making a noise, a light is on, the brakes feel long, the clutch is slipping, the car will not start, plus the parts everyone expects to replace as they wear out. Mobile mechanic is a subset of this one, defined by where the work happens rather than by what it is. And a windscreen or a door glass is its own trade with its own adhesives and cure times, which is also why the glass in your house is a different page again. If you are not sure which you want, describe what the car is doing and let the offers sort it out — diagnosis is a task in its own right and a perfectly reasonable thing to book on its own.
The single most useful line to understand before posting is what can honestly be done where the car is standing, and what needs a hoist, a shop floor and a bench. A driveway or kerbside visit covers a lot: batteries, wipers, bulbs, filters, a diagnostic scan, a jump start, a wheel change on level ground, and on some cars the brakes. What it does not cover is anything needing the vehicle held safely in the air for a long stretch, both sides off the ground at once, a press, a torch, or the front of the engine stripped. A clutch, a timing belt, exhaust work, suspension where a spring is under compression, fuel work under pressure — those are shop tasks, and an offer to do one of them in your driveway is a reason to ask more questions rather than a bargain. Air conditioning is its own case: refrigerant has to be recovered with certified equipment rather than vented or topped up from a can, so a proper regas is shop work whoever is doing it.
Two practicalities decide whether a mobile visit is possible at all. Many underground parking garages prohibit repairs and fluid changes outright as a condition of the building rather than a preference, so if the car lives on P2 the honest answer is usually that it has to be driven or towed somewhere. And used oil, oil filters and antifreeze go to a proper return site rather than down a drain or into a bin, so a driveway oil change includes somebody taking the old fluid away — an offer silent about that has not priced the whole task. When you post, give the year, make, model and rough mileage, describe what the car does and exactly when it does it (cold, hot, braking, turning, at speed), say whether it is drivable, and say where it is parked and what the building allows.
Check what licence your country requires.
After you post, here’s exactly what happens
- 1Offers arriveEach one carries a price and an approach, from verified Taskers only.
- 2Ask before you chooseEquipment, timing, whether they’ve worked in a building like yours.
- 3Accept oneYour payment is held by Taskly. Nothing is paid out yet.
- 4Confirm when it’s doneThe money releases and your receipt arrives by email.
What moves the price
- Whether the fault is known, or has to be diagnosed first
- Parts, which sit on top of labour and vary hugely by make
- Driveway, kerbside or a shop with a hoist
- How rusted the underside is, and what shears on the way
- Access: a private driveway, street parking, or a garage that forbids work
- Whether the car is drivable, or has to be towed to the work
What to settle before you accept an offer
- Is this quoted as a mobile visit or as shop work?
- Are parts included, and are they new, reconditioned or aftermarket?
- What happens, and what does it cost, if a bolt shears?
- Who removes the old fluid and the old parts?
- Is a diagnosis included, or charged separately if you then book the repair?

Questions
Frequently asked
Answers to what people actually search for.
Can a mechanic come to my house?
For a good deal, yes — batteries, wipers, bulbs, filters, a diagnostic scan, a jump, a wheel change, and brakes on some cars. What cannot travel is anything needing the vehicle held high for a long stretch, a press, a torch, or the front of the engine stripped.
Do I need a diagnosis before I can get a price?
Usually, and it is a reasonable thing to book on its own. A noise, a light or a feel can have several causes at very different prices, and a firm number given without looking is a guess. Describe what the car does and when — cold, hot, braking, turning, at speed.
Can a mobile mechanic work in my condo garage?
Often not. Many underground garages prohibit repairs and fluid changes as a condition of the building, so the car may have to be driven or towed somewhere. Check with your property manager before you agree a time with anyone.
Is this the same as booking a service for my make?
No. Scheduled servicing follows the intervals in the owner’s manual and is done by make, whether or not anything is wrong — that is our car service category. This page is the fault and the wear: something is happening and it has to be found, then fixed.
