What is a mobile mechanic?

120 years of motoring expertise, brought to you

In the spotlight

Introducing three of the mobile mechanics who might arrive on your doorstep.

Josh

Josh has worked on cars for 14 years, from a Vauxhall apprenticeship to The AA Roadside and now Car Care. His broad experience means your car's in highly capable hands.

Billy

Billy grew up around his dad's garage and has been working on cars for 18 years and counting. He brings deep technical knowledge and a life-long passion to every job.

Jack

Jack has been working on cars since he was 12. A former MOT tester, he’ll bring a careful eye, technical expertise and real pride to the task in hand.

The price will be the same whether you book an AA Mobile Mechanic or an AA Approved Garage through us. The main difference is convenience. An AA Mobile Mechanic comes to your home or workplace, saving you the time and hassle of travelling to a garage and waiting for your vehicle. Our fully trained, AA-employed Mobile Mechanics can carry out servicing, diagnostics and most repairs at your location. However, some services, such as MOTs and bodywork repairs, require specialist equipment or facilities and must be completed at a garage.

MOT tests must be carried out at a certified test centre, so our mobile mechanics can’t complete an MOT at your home or work. However, we can carry out pre-MOT checks to help identify issues before your test, and complete repairs after an MOT advisory (depending on the fault type).

Our Mobile Mechanics can work on your vehicle in any safe, accessible private, off-street location where you have permission. This is typically a private driveway, a designated parking bay at your home, or your workplace car park, provided all are private land and you have permission.

For the safety of our mechanics and the public, we cannot work on vehicles parked on a public road. We require a safe, off-street location like a driveway or private car park.

Absolutely. We provide a clear, detailed, no-obligation quote for your approval before any appointment is confirmed. The price you’re quoted is the price you pay.

Appointments are available from 48 hours, depending on the service you need and AA Mobile Mechanic availability in your area. When you enter your details, our online booking system will show the earliest available slots for your location, so you can choose a time that works for you. If there’s no mobile mechanic availability, we’ll show you options from our AA Approved Garage Network where available.

AA Mobile Mechanics is only available for vehicle diagnostics, servicing and associated repairs in specific locations, and is subject to availability.

3The service location must be a private driveway or private land, and the vehicle should be on a flat surface with good access all around. A service can’t be done on a public road (including street parking and other public spaces). You need to obtain all necessary permissions from any occupier of the premises where the car is located before our Mobile Mechanic arrives.

Once a Mobile Mechanic is sent to your location, if the service can’t be done because the vehicle isn’t available or the location isn’t suitable we may charge you the full cost of the appointment.

The AA Mobile Mechanics service is not included as part of AA breakdown cover membership. If you are a member in a breakdown or accident please use the AA app, or you can get help online.

1 Arrival window options may be two hours or a choice of morning or afternoon, depending on your location.

2 0% interest instalment option details: Payment will be split into 4 equal instalments, with the first 25% payable on a debit card. Using this service will mean taking out a credit agreement with Payment Assist. Payment Assist can refuse credit, but the application process is immediate online, with no footprint left on the customers credit record. If the subsequent payments aren’t made on time, Payment Assist do reserve the right to charge a late payment fee.

4 We use manufacturer-level parts, and all parts and work are guaranteed for 12 months/12,000 miles, whichever comes first.

AA Mobile Mechanics services are subject to terms and conditions and this privacy policy.

Key drop option: Subject to this option being available in your location, you can opt for the Mobile Mechanic to drop off your car keys at the end of the booking to a secure place if you provide us with permission to do this and confirm your chosen secure place. A secure place must be a secure, private/non-communal external lock box or internal letter box at the location of your booking. If you opt for this option, you acknowledge that we will not be responsible for any losses you suffer as a result, except to the extent we cannot exclude liability under law and/or our full terms. Mobile Mechanics full T&Cs apply.
