Poole

Mobile mechanic in Poole

I'll be straight with you: Poole has plenty of mechanics. Here's when it's worth calling the one from Wareham.

For a routine service on a five-year-old hatchback, most Poole garages will look after you fine. Where I earn the drive over is the vehicles that make the average workshop go quiet: classic and older cars, motorhomes and campervans, Japanese imports, 4x4s, and anything the parts catalogue doesn't recognise on the first try. After 40+ years I've usually had one apart before — and I come to your driveway to do it, which matters when the vehicle in question doesn't fit on a ramp or shouldn't be driven far.

Poole is full of exactly these vehicles. Motorhomes and campers parked up between trips, imports off the boats, cherished older cars kept garaged — and when they need work, their owners ring round and hear "not really our thing" a lot. It is my thing.

That said, I don't turn my nose up at ordinary work when I'm over the water — servicing, diagnostics, cambelts, clutches and pre-purchase inspections on Poole's busy used-car market are all fair game. Upton and Lytchett Minster I treat as home turf.

Too big for the ramp?

Motorhomes are the classic case for a mobile mechanic — serviced and repaired where they're parked.
