# SV Autos

> SV Autos is a mobile car mechanic based in Soham, Cambridgeshire (CB7), run by James Snow. We come to the customer's home or work across Ely, Newmarket, Cambridge and the surrounding villages to service and repair cars. There is a £20 call-out, and every quote is free and agreed in writing before any work starts. Only facts confirmed by the business are listed below.

## Key facts
- Business: SV Autos, a mobile mechanic (service-area business, no public garage or storefront)
- Owner and mechanic: James Snow
- Base: Soham, Cambridgeshire, CB7
- Phone: 07703 287022
- Hours: Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6pm
- Call-out fee: £20. It is charged on every visit and does NOT come off the bill. Quotes are free, no-obligation, and agreed up front.
- Diagnostics fee: £20, and this one DOES come off the price of the repair if the work goes ahead.
- Trading since July 2026. The mechanic, James Snow, has worked on cars for six years.
- What we do: servicing, oil and filter changes, diagnostics and fault finding, brakes, batteries, auto electrical (alternators, starters, ignition coils, spark plugs), coolant and power steering fluid changes, pre-MOT checks, and clutch replacement (assessed then quoted per car).
- What we cannot do: we do not run an MOT test centre, so we cannot issue MOT certificates (we do pre-MOT checks that flag likely failures before the test). We do not offer air-conditioning regas, DPF or EGR cleaning, cambelt/timing-belt replacement, pre-purchase inspections, or automatic gearbox work. We work on electric cars, but only the non-high-voltage side; we do not touch the traction battery, motor, inverter or on-board charger.
