Upton & Lytchett Minster
Mobile mechanic in Upton and Lytchett Minster
You've got options for a mechanic this close to Poole. Here's what I bring that's different.
I won't pretend Upton is short of garages — it isn't. What's rarer is over 40 years of experience that comes to your door, works on the car where it's parked, and shows you exactly what it found. If you'd rather see the worn part in someone's hand than read it off an invoice, that's how I've always worked.
The other difference is breadth. Alongside the everyday cars and vans that make up most of my week, I'm the one people this side of the harbour call for the vehicles that make workshops hesitate — older cars and classics, motorhomes, Japanese imports, 4x4s. One mechanic, the whole spread: it's on the specialist page.
For Upton, Lytchett Minster and Lytchett Matravers I do the lot — servicing, diagnostics, cambelts and water pumps, clutches, brakes, batteries, MOTs by appointment (collected, tested, returned). At home, or at your workplace along the A35 corridor while you get on with your day.
Done properly, at your door
Belt, tensioners, water pump — replaced as a kit, on your driveway, with the old parts shown to you before they go in the bin.

Common questions
- Do you come to my home or my workplace?
- Yes — both. I'm a mobile mechanic, so the workshop comes to the car rather than the other way round. I work on driveways, on the street outside your house, and in work car parks. Plenty of the houses round here have no driveway at all, and that has never been a problem.
- Can a mobile mechanic do a full service and proper diagnostics?
- Yes. The van carries racking, a vice, a press, lifting gear, diagnostic equipment and enough parts stock to finish most jobs on the spot. Servicing, diagnostics, cambelts, clutches, brakes, DPF cleaning, auto electrics and battery work all get done where the car is. Mobile does not mean a toolbox in a boot.
- How do I get a quote?
- Ring 07989 307649, or email darrenleeautomotive@gmail.com. What I give you on the phone is a rough idea based on what you have told me — it is not a fixed price, because I have not seen the vehicle yet. Once I have looked at it I will tell you what it actually needs and what it will cost. If the job turns out to be bigger than expected, I will tell you before I carry on; you will not get a bill for work you did not know about.
