​It’s not always easy trying to find a good auto mechanic. That’s especially true when you need them to come to your place to work on your car. Often the very best mechanics work in their own garages, and they may not have the time or inclination to come to you. So here are tips for hiring a mobile auto mechanic that can make sure that the “expert” who works on your car actually knows what they’re doing:

1. Ask around your network of friends and family for a recommendation. This is one of the most convenient ways to find a good auto mechanic. Your friends can assure you that the mechanic has actually helped them, and that they charged reasonable rates. You can also get the contact info from your friends. 
2. Can you ask them questions? With the contact info from your friends (or from an ad that caught your eye), you then need to call the auto mechanic and see if you can ask them questions. This is important, but you don’t want them to come to your place if you later find out that they’re not good enough for you. 
3. Ask about their expertise. Name your car model and describe your problem. You have some assurance that they’re familiar with the model you own and that they’ve solved similar problems in the past. Ask what kind of equipment they will bring –if they’re relying on the tools you have at home, they may not be your best choice. 
4. Ask if they have any special relationships with vendors. It’s best if they can get the parts you need at a lower cost, rather than if they want you to buy the parts yourself. They may also get the parts you need much sooner. The mechanic has to buy the part so that if they’re wrong about the needed parts, you’re not stuck with a part you don’t need! 
5. Ask about the price they charge. Aside from the skill of the mechanic, you also need one who’s trustworthy. That’s why you should ask for friends’ recommendations in the first place. Not only should they quote affordable rates for your particular problem, but it should be transparent. They shouldn’t charge a higher price once they’re started working on your vehicle. 
6. What about their availability? It is best if the mechanic can come to your home at a time that’s more convenient for you. Sometimes you need your car over the weekend or in the evening. Can the auto-mechanic accommodate your schedule? If so, then that’s great. ​

Finding a mechanic who can come to your place can be an absolute godsend whenever you suddenly have trouble with your car at home or in your office parking lot. With these tips for hiring a mobile auto mechanic, hopefully you can find a reliable expert who can come to your aid at any time for a fair price.
