Mobile mechanic · the Hills, the Inner West and across Sydney
A licensed mechanic who comes to your driveway.
I'm Jackson. I grew up in my dad's workshop in Guildford, and now I do the jobs that don't need a hoist at your place instead. Car won't start, alternators, starter motors, brakes, servicing, inspections. You ring, I tell you the price for your car before anything happens, and I turn up with the parts.
Parramatta 15 minutes, the Hills and the Inner West 20 to 35, the rest of Sydney too. Any hour I'm not already on a job. Ring and I'll tell you the soonest real time.

What Sydney says
Car wouldn’t start in Merrylands and I was stuck. Jackson arrived quickly and got me back on the road straight away. Best mobile battery service around this area.
Battery died at the servo in Parramatta, Jackson answered straight away and came out fast. New battery fitted on the spot, no stress.
Booked Jackson after my car struggled to start two mornings in a row. He came to my house in Granville, tested the old battery and fitted a new one before it left me stranded.
Jackson came and replaced my battery in Guildford for a great price, he was professional and great.
What I do at your address
The jobs that fit in a van
Every one of these starts with a test, not a parts bill. If it turns out to be something else, I tell you that on the spot and quote the real job.
Batteries, alternators, starters, charging faults
The electrical side of the car, done at your place. Battery tested and fitted, Euro batteries registered, alternator and starter proven with a meter before you buy either, and a battery that keeps going flat traced to the thing that's draining it.
Logbook and oil-change services at your place
Oil and filter with the right oil for your car, the checks the logbook calls for, battery and brakes looked at while I'm there, and the book filled in. Your new-car warranty stays intact when it's done to the schedule with the right parts, and that's how I do it.
Brake pads replaced at your place
Squeal, grind, a pedal that goes long, or a steering wheel that shakes when you stop. Front or rear pads done in your driveway with proper stands and a road test.
Alternator replacement
Battery light on, headlights dimming at idle, a battery that keeps going flat. I test the charging system first so you don't buy a part you don't need.
Starter motor replacement
Battery is fine, lights are bright, and all you get is a click. I check the battery, the cables and the starter in that order, then change it on the spot when the engine bay allows.
Car won't start, find out why
Before you pay for a part, I plug in, read the fault codes and test the basics. Battery, alternator, starter, immobiliser, fuel. You get told what it is, not what someone guessed.
Pre-purchase inspection
I meet you at the seller's address, scan it, check the bones, road-test it and tell you straight. Buy it, negotiate, or walk.
How it goes
Start to finish
No booking portal, no call centre, no waiting for a window between nine and five.
You ring me
Tell me the car, the rego if you have it, and what it's doing. I'll tell you what it sounds like, what it costs for your car, and a real time. Nobody else answers this phone.
I come to the car
Driveway, work car park, the street out front. I bring the parts, a scan tool and proper stands. If it needs a hoist I say so before I leave, not after I've charged you to drive out.
You see the problem
I show you the old part, the reading on the meter, the fault code on the screen. Then I fix it, road-test it where that makes sense, and hand you a tax invoice.
Being straight with you
What I don't do in a driveway
Some jobs need a hoist, a booth or tooling that doesn't fit in a van. Rotor machining, clutch, timing chains, anything that needs the car in the air for hours. I'll tell you that on the phone instead of taking your money to drive out and say it in person. That way you can book it into a workshop straight away.
Where I go for mechanic work
Western Sydney, the Hills, the Inner West, and the rest of Sydney
Mechanic jobs run in a wider circle than batteries, and I take them anywhere in Sydney. Times below are Google Maps off-peak from my base in Guildford, so add some in peak hour. The North Shore, Eastern Suburbs and Northern Beaches are further out. Ring first and I'll give you a time.
Home patch, same as the batteries:
Further out, ring first and I'll give you a time:
The quickest way to a price
Tell me what it's doing
Ring and tell me the car, the suburb and what it's doing. You get what it sounds like and the price for your car before I leave. Can't talk right now? Text me those three things and I'll text you back.
Any hour I'm not on a job. Same price day or night.

Questions people ask before they book
Are you actually a licensed mechanic?
Do you charge to come out and look?
What if it needs a part you don't have on you?
Can you do it at my work?
Do you do nights and weekends?
What about the battery stuff?
Something wrong with the car?
Ring me, tell me what it's doing, and I'll tell you what it sounds like and what it costs for your car. Ringing to ask costs nothing.
