- Check reviews or casa-trained credentials for your car brand
Frequently asked questions
Can they do a pre-purchase inspection on a used car?
Yes — mobile pre-purchase inspections are popular. Expect a structured report covering engine, brakes, suspension, tyres, electronics and a road test, usually priced like 1-2 hours of labour.
How much does a brake pad replacement cost?
Front pads on a common car are one of the most standardised jobs going — typically 1-1.5 hours of labour plus parts. Adding discs/rotors roughly doubles the parts bill.
What can a mobile mechanic actually fix at my home?
Batteries, brakes, servicing (oil, filters, plugs), alternators, starters, sensors, and diagnostics are all routine driveway jobs. Work needing a lift, press, or alignment rig — clutches, timing chains on some engines, exhausts — still goes to a workshop.
Can a mobile mechanic replace my car battery?
Yes — it's the single most common mobile job. Expect to pay the battery's retail price plus a modest fitting fee, with registration/coding needed on many newer cars (stop-start systems).
Is a mobile mechanic cheaper than a garage?
Often slightly cheaper on labour because there's no premises overhead, but the real saving is towing avoidance and time. For big jobs a workshop with a hoist is usually more economical.
Do mobile mechanics guarantee their work?
Reputable ones warranty both parts and labour — commonly 6-12 months. Get the warranty in writing on the invoice, and check whether parts carry the manufacturer's warranty separately.
What does a car diagnostic cost?
A mobile diagnostic visit typically costs about an hour of labour and includes plugging in a scan tool, reading fault codes, and a verbal or written report. Many mechanics credit part of it against subsequent repair work.
What does a home-service mechanic cost in the Philippines?
Diagnostic visits run ₱500-1,500 including call-out, with labour effectively ₱300-800/hour. Parts drive most of the bill — always confirm genuine vs surplus and get both options priced.
