Title: Mobile Mechanics - resuming a limited service
Post by: JamesV6CDX on 26 February 2009, 19:17:53
A little cheeky, but just thought I'd post up - as I've had a few emails etc from members.

I've decided to resume a limited service over coming weeks.

By far the largest thing I'm asked to do is cambelts, so this will be 99% of the work I take on.

I will be mostly dropping things such as manifold gaskets, etc - (as in all honesty I can't keep up with it and do my day job). Instead I will be focusing almost solely on cambelt changes.

Prices will, as always, be competitive, but quotes will be decided once factors such as engine type, work required, and distance, are factored.

If you have recently enquired, or if I can assist, drop me a PM  :y

Unfortunately I don't really do car work at home - don't have the facilities for it, and it gets the neighbours twitching  ;D

On a brighter note, travel to you won't be a lot - at 40mpg ;)

I can put together a quote if you like, just say the word :y

You know I've been thinking the same mate.

I DO have a small leak from 2 of the leakoff injector pipes, but it only seems to be a trace.

Otherwise, I can only put it down to my driving  ;D

Presumably it spends most of its life on motorways?
I,ve been driving mine very gently for the last 9 months and improved from about 22mpg to 26mpg,very little motorway or A road driving though.

Dual carridgeway, some motorway and some town driving.

Key thing is, a proper gearbox and not something that has the same internals as an electric screwdriver.
