Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about booking a mobile mechanic with HomeFit Vehicle Services.
Do you come to my home and my workplace?
Yes — we come wherever your vehicle is parked, whether that's your home driveway, a workplace car park, or even a street outside your flat. We just need a reasonably level, solid surface to work safely.
Can you work in a flat car park or on a street?
For most jobs, yes. A flat, solid surface is all we need. On-street parking and flat multi-storey bays are usually fine. We may not be able to carry out certain jobs — such as clutch replacements requiring the car to be raised high — in very tight or multi-storey spaces, but we'll always check when you book.
Which makes and models do you cover?
We cover all mainstream makes and models — petrol and diesel cars and light vans. This includes popular brands such as Ford, Vauxhall, Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Honda, Renault, Peugeot, Citroën and more. If you have an unusual or specialist vehicle, get in touch and we'll let you know.
Can you run a diagnostic on my car at my home?
Yes — we carry professional OBD-II diagnostic equipment and can read fault codes and live sensor data at any location. If your engine management light or another warning light is on, we can diagnose the cause on-site and advise on the repair.
Do you bring the parts with you?
We carry a range of common consumable parts — oils, filters, brake pads, batteries, belts and bulbs — in the van. For less common items, we may need to order parts before the appointment. When you book we'll advise whether we need to source specific parts for your vehicle in advance.
Which areas do you cover?
We cover South Cambridgeshire, North Essex and Suffolk — including Saffron Walden, Haverhill, Bishop's Stortford, Great Dunmow, Sawston, Linton, Newport and Stansted Mountfitchet, and the surrounding villages within approximately 30 miles of Saffron Walden.
How do I book?
The easiest way is to use our online quote form or to call us directly. Give us your vehicle details, what you need done, and your location, and we'll get back to you with availability and a price.
Can you do my MOT as well?
We don't carry out MOT tests ourselves — an MOT must be done at an authorised test centre. However, we offer a thorough pre-MOT inspection to catch and fix any issues before your test day, so you go in with confidence. We can also advise on local MOT centres if you need a recommendation.
