Mobile Mechanic in Huntingdon
We come out to Huntingdon from Soham and work on the car where it already is, at home or at work. Two of the jobs written up on this site were done here.
roughly 40 to 45 minutes west of Soham.

Every job here is done by James Snow, the owner and mechanic. The person who quotes your car is the person who turns up to it.
Huntingdon is the furthest west we go, about forty to forty-five minutes from our base in Soham. We are straight about that rather than pretending to be round the corner, because what matters to you is whether we turn up when we said we would, and what it costs.
It is not a place we have put on a map and hoped. Two of the jobs written up on this site were done in Huntingdon: a Fiat 500 that had been recovered the night before and needed a thermostat in time for work the next morning, and a Ford Courier that needed its front brakes at short notice. Both are further down this page, with James's own photographs.
What can you do at my home in Huntingdon?
Most jobs a garage does, done on your driveway. Open any service for what's involved and how we price it.
Twenty-two miles out, and the call-out is still £20
The call-out is a flat £20 to come to your home or work anywhere in the area we cover, with no mileage charges on top. Huntingdon is about twenty-two miles from us in a straight line and it is charged exactly the same as a job five minutes down the road. Parts and labour are quoted and agreed before anything starts, so the distance shows up in our diary rather than on your bill.
What being mobile is actually worth out here
The useful thing about a mechanic who comes to you is not the novelty, it is that the car never has to be moved. On the Fiat 500 the car had already been recovered the night before, so there was nothing left to move anywhere and the only thing standing between it and the morning was the part. That is the situation this works best in: the car is already where it is going to stay, and somebody brings the tools to it.
The places around Huntingdon we cover too
From Huntingdon we also cover Godmanchester just across the river, Brampton a couple of miles west, St Ives about four and a half miles east, and Fenstanton on the way back towards Cambridge. St Neots, Sawtry and Ramsey are all within nine miles and we come out to those as well.
Nearby areas we cover
What if it doesn’t go to plan?
You get the price before anything starts. If we open it up and find something else, we stop, tell you what it is and what it costs, and you decide whether to carry on.
Some jobs genuinely need a ramp. We say so rather than have a go, and point you to a workshop. The £20 call-out still applies, because we have come out and looked at it.
There is nothing to pay up front and no cancellation fee. You settle up once the work is done, by card, cash or bank transfer.

Getting the MOT done in Huntingdon, for less

So we come to you first. A pre-MOT check on your driveway in Huntingdon finds the common failures while they are still cheap to fix, and we can service the car in the same visit.

Jobs we have done
Ford Courier, Huntingdon: front brakes at short notice
Front pads and discs wanted at short notice. Everything they sit in was cleaned out before the new parts went on, which is the half of a brake job that decides how long the new parts stay good.
