My schedule is messy, so mobile mechanics have saved me more than once. The important thing is to be clear about the job before they come out. If it is a service, battery, or simple repair, mobile is great. If you suspect brakes, suspension, or mystery noises, I would book a proper workshop.
Has anyone used Tyre & Auto Richmond or a mobile mechanic around Fitzroy/St Kilda?

Answers & Discussion
I used a mobile mechanic when my battery died and I could not move the car. It was perfect for that situation. For scheduled servicing, I still prefer a workshop because they can put the car on a hoist and check things properly. It depends whether you need convenience or a deeper inspection.
For tyres and basic servicing, a workshop like Tyre & Auto Richmond is usually easier because they have everything there if something extra is needed. Mobile mechanics are great for convenience, but if the issue becomes more complicated, you may still end up needing a workshop anyway.
