A mobile mechanic across Lichfield
Lichfield is the Staffordshire cathedral city north of Birmingham, known for its three-spired cathedral and as the birthplace of Samuel Johnson. We cover the city and its surroundings across the WS13 and WS14 postcodes, including Boley Park, Darwin Park, Curborough, Streethay, Whittington and Shenstone.
Lichfield is surrounded by fast roads: the A38 runs past the city, with the A5, A51 and M6 Toll close by. Many local drivers commute to Birmingham, Burton or Tamworth, while others mostly drive short trips around the city centre and to Trent Valley and City stations. A mobile mechanic means you don't have to take the car anywhere: the work happens on your drive.
Common jobs for Lichfield drivers
Short-trip diesels and DPF warnings
Diesel cars used mainly for short runs around the city and to the station often don't get hot enough for long enough to regenerate their DPF. If the DPF light is on, we clear it and check for the faults that stop regeneration. More on DPF cleaning.
Cold-morning battery failures
A car that sits on the drive all week and only does short trips may never fully recharge its battery, which is when winter mornings catch it out. We test the battery and charging system before replacing anything. More on battery replacement.
Servicing on your schedule
Whether your car does A38 commuting miles or very few miles at all, it still needs its annual service. We do it on your drive or at work. More on mobile car servicing.
