Perth Mobile Mechanics

Today was a great day to be out helping people that required roadside assistance in Perth , Today I had a lady with a Ford Falcon over in Doubleview  that got up and found she couldn’t start her vehicle so she assumed it was a car battery fault so she went to her local store and spent $150 on a new car battery and put it in her Ford Falcon but to her surprise her car still would not start ?? She then called Perth Mobile Mechanics for roadside assistance to help her out ! When we got there we found her Ford Falcon had no spark from her distributor so it couldn’t start ,we replaced the distributor and she was on her way [just a pitty thought she replaced her car batteryFaulty distributor for no reason]

Prepurchase vehicle inspections in Perth today checking used cars for sale

Perth vehicle inspections

Today we have found it that when your buying a secondhand car or looking at buying a second hand car that you must get a pre-purchase inspection carried out by your mobile mechanic before you hand over your money , there are so many things that can be faulty with the new possible car that can cause it to be a expensive mistake , some owners have not had a decent car service in sometime or the car repairs due have not been carried out [causing more damage] and there are many cars out there which have been abused but getting a pre-purchase inspection carried out this could save you $$$

Old tyre problems

When we at Perth Mobile Mechanics are travelling around taking care off vehicle repairs and helping out with roadside assistance we seem to come across the same types off car problems that cause the average car owner to be broken down ! These problems are usually flat car batteries,cars run out off petrol and flat car tyres !! There are some car tyres out there that still have a bit off tread on them but if your mechanic that is doing your car service looks closely at your tyres that have been on your car for way to long he may find cracks and splits in them which will cause you to have a flat tyreOld tyres in the near future
