Top Mechanic related questions

Service intervals are listed in your vehicle’s owner’s manual. Depending on your make and model, service is usually required every 6,000-10,000 miles or every 6 months. If you don’t travel far, you’ll need your car checked annually.

Mobile mechanics are the most convenient way to get your car serviced because they come to you. And without the expense of shop overheads, you’ll often pay less. The main downside is that on rare occasions, your mobile mechanic may be unable to perform some less common services due to limited supplies and equipment at hand.

A mobile mechanic can complete almost all the same mechanical repairs and maintenance jobs you’d get from a mechanic in a shop. They can do anything from simple oil changes to scheduled maintenance and pre-purchase inspections. As long as they have the parts on hand and can do the work from a flat surface, they should be able to get the job done.

By requesting a mobile mechanic near you on Airtasker, you’ll receive plenty of offers from qualified mechanics within minutes. This makes it easy to find the most affordable car mechanic near you that fits your budget.

The best way to find a skilled and reliable mechanic near you is to post your task on Airtasker. Outline what your car service or repair needs are, and you’ll start to hear from rated and reviewed mechanics near you within minutes.

A mobile car mechanic service typically costs between $50-$150 when you hire your mechanic through Airtasker. Costs can vary based on your vehicle type, parts needed, and labor required. For specific examples relating to your model, check out standard Ford car service costs, Mazda car service costs, Nissan car service costs, and Toyota car service costs.

What does a mechanic service usually include?

Mechanics are skilled in nearly all aspects of keeping your car maintained, serviced, and repaired, so it’s roadworthy and efficient to run. The exact process during your service will depend on how your mechanic prefers to work and the type of tasks they’re doing, like:

Minor service

This is the most basic engine service a mechanic provides, but it can make a huge difference in whether or not your car can operate efficiently. A minor service usually alternates with a major service, at around the 6-month mark. A mechanic near you can do minor services because your mechanic only needs a flat service to get the job done. They’ll unscrew the sump plug, allowing old oil to drain from your car. Then they’ll remove the old oil filter and replace with a new one that’s the right size for your vehicle. Your mechanic will dispose of your old filter and oil. They’ll also inspect other key components, like your battery, lights, air filters, and other fluids.

Log book servicing / major service

A major service or log book service involves a series of steps in line with your vehicle manufacturer’s service manual. It’ll include a combination of major and minor services, depending on the age of your car, or how many kilometres it’s travelled. Your service may include testing your lights, brakes, and battery. Then checking fluid levels, windscreen wipers, windows, mirrors, steering, suspension, radiator, fan belts, and tire pressure. Finally, it may also include maintaining/replacing oil filters, hoses, belts, tires, and wheel alignment. Your mechanic will finish off by stamping your logbook to record the services completed, which can help maintain your car’s resale value.

Roadworthy certificate or pink slip

A roadworthy certificate or pink slip is a specific vehicle check that’s conducted to ensure your car is in a roadworthy condition and can be operated safely. In some states, it’s required when selling a car or may be required each year to confirm your vehicle is safe for registration purposes. A mechanic will check off a list of predetermined items to verify that your car meets a minimum safety standard set out by your state government. They’ll focus on safety, checking things like tires, brakes, steering, suspension, rust or damage, seatbelts, windows, lights, and your windscreen.

Major and minor repairs

Sometimes your car might need a little extra attention if you’ve had an accident, broken down, or your drive feels a bit different to normal. A car mechanic can perform minor and major repairs on most vehicles. They’ll use diagnostic equipment to locate the issue and decide on a course of action to get your car back on the road. If they don’t have the necessary spare parts, they may need to order them to finish off your repair and replace any faulty parts. Note that a mechanic service is usually limited to your car’s engine and electrics. It’s best to speak to a panel beater if you also have external body damage.

I have a Audi A4 09 , I initially thought it just needed an oil change however I don’t think that’s the case anymore lol…. Long story short I was driving it and I pressed on the gas and the whole car started stuttering and shaking so I let it cruise, I pressed the gas again and same thing so I pulled over and let it sit, the engine didn’t over heat. I did have a smell of fuel or oil im not too sure.. no sound and no smoke… I was able to drive it home it was only 3 miles away, I retried to turn the car back on when I got home after letting it rest and looked under the hood and the whole engine looked like it was about to fly out it was shaking sooo bad… we think its combination of things either spark plugs or ignition coil + bad air intake OR bad pump just don’t know which pump… I’m looking for someone who can come out or I can tow to you but identify what’s the issue and fix it.
