Mobile Mechanic in Ely
We're just down the A142 in Soham, so Ely is a short hop for us. We come to your home or work anywhere in CB6 and CB7 and do most jobs there and then.
about 10 to 15 minutes north of our Soham base, straight up the A142.
SV Autos covers Ely from our base in Soham, about ten minutes down the A142, so you get a genuinely local mobile mechanic rather than someone travelling in from Cambridge. We come to you across the city and the villages around it, and get most jobs done on your own driveway.
Ely is a commuter city as much as a cathedral one. Plenty of people here drive the A10 to Cambridge or take the train onward to London, which piles the miles on and wears out the usual things, brakes, tyres, clutches, batteries and suspension. Rather than book a garage across town and lose a day, we bring the work to your door.
From a full service to a brake job, a warning light you want read properly, or a car that won't start outside the house, we turn up with the diagnostic kit and the common parts to sort it without you having to move the car anywhere.
What we do in Ely
Most jobs a garage does, done on your driveway. Tap a service for what's involved and how we price it.
Parking near the centre is why mobile makes sense here
A lot of Ely's older streets near the cathedral and the river are terraced with on-street parking, and dropping a car at a garage and getting yourself back home is a proper faff. We come to wherever the car is parked, as long as it's a safe and legal spot to work, so you don't have to shuffle it across the city.
Built around the A10 and A142
Ely sits where the A10 (Cambridge to King's Lynn) meets the A142 out to Soham and Newmarket, so a lot of local cars are doing steady dual-carriageway commuting miles. That's exactly the mileage that quietly eats brake pads and clutches, and it's worth catching at a service before it turns into a bigger bill.
The villages around Ely, covered too
From Ely we also reach Littleport, Witchford, Sutton, Little Downham, Stretham, Prickwillow and Queen Adelaide. If you're in one of the smaller fen villages where the nearest garage is a long round trip, a mechanic who comes to you saves the drive and the lift home.
Car servicing in Ely
An interim service is £100 in labour, a full service £160 and a major £240, plus the £20 call-out and the oil and filters your car needs. We do it on your driveway or at your work, and Ely is ten to fifteen minutes from us, so it's an easy run. The service book gets stamped the same as it would at a garage.
Brakes in Ely
Pads are £80 in labour per axle and pads with discs £100 per axle, plus parts. Brakes are one of the jobs mobile does well: they need the wheel off and the car supported safely, not a ramp. If you're hearing a squeal it's usually early warning and you have time; if it's a grinding noise, stop driving and call us, because that's metal on metal and it damages the discs.
What it costs in Ely
The same prices as everywhere else we cover. There's no surcharge for where you are and no mileage charge on top of the call-out.
